A week of summer fun

This summer is just flying by.  I can’t believe that the 4th of July is behind us already.  Dad and Mom K had us and Brett and Tessa over for lunch and swimming on the 4th.

Later, we met up with Dad and Mom R and Caleb to watch the fireworks.

Creighton is getting into everything right now.  He is reminding us so much of Kate, when she was this age.

The kids love to play in the rain.  Even Creighton joined in this last time.  He had a blast crawling thru the puddles.

We got to have Russ and Beth here for about 15 hours – it was so great to see them, but I didn’t take any pictures, except for this one. =(

We had a fun night out at Chris and Sheri’s with John and Jamie and all our kids (6 adults, 11 kids, plus one more on the way for John and Jamie).  The kids had a blast!

Grandpa and Grandma bought some pork at a benefit and had the family out to Dad and Mom’s to enjoy it.

Kate has been learning to swim without her life belt.  Lately she is very into jumping in and asking, “was that a big splash?”  She calls the below jump her “orca splash.”  I guess it reminds her of the orca whales at the aquarium.  Looks painful to me, but she insists it does not hurt.
