July phone reel

Here's some fun pictures from my phone this month.  Excuse the fact that they are all over the place.  I guess that's what happens when you load them to blogger straight from an app on your phone. 
 
 
Jackson drew this all by himself.  He said it's the cross that Jesus died on.
Went to the Salem Fair.


Vacation Bible School fun.
Jackson in the Salem Times at camp with Daddy.
Enjoying strawberries!
This one is T-R-O-U-B-L-E
J's new buzz cut.
Josh and I may have sent this picture to the Dowdy's after finishing off our brick oven Smore from Fork in the alley!
3 kids in the back! :)

Picnic at the park.

Jackson is crazy on these things.  He does them like 20 times no joke!
What did I say, trouble! :)

















Our family had such a fun July.   Excited to see what August has in store!

Beach Pictures #2

Here are some of the pictures from my other camera.  Had such a fun time.  Got to spend time at go carts, sand dunes, out on the beach, putt putt...we are so blessed!  Our family had a blast!

Jackson was finally tall enough to ride with Daddy on the go carts!




The guys and the big kids.








The group: take 1

Group shot: take 2

My sweet boys.



The sand dunes,...it was a little windy.

Chris pushing his pregnant wife, I mean friend with a baby bjorn up the dunes.

Checking out the TON of tadpoles.

Outer Banks Post #1

I'm a little behind on our vacay post but still trying to play catchup. 

 At the end of June we took a trip to the beach with the Dowdy and Wolford family.  We had such a good time.  I don't think Jackson wanted to come home!  Here's pictures just from one camera that I actually remembered to take out on the beach a few days.  I borrowed Mom's smaller camera so I didn't have to bring mine out on the beach.




Our first day was pretty windy.


Kiptyn's first impression of looking at the ocean.  Probably didn't help that the wind was C-R-A-Z-Y that day!





You know you are a kid at heart when you spend your bday money on a water balloon launcher.  That would be Josh.




Napping on the beach.


Grandmommy and Poppop joined us for one day.

We of course took them to tropical smoothie...duh!





Our last night the kiddos decide to be free on the beach.


They'll appreciate this when their 16, right?

Check out Sam!  We were so proud of him!






(Definitely more pictures from the other camera to follow)
