Our Summer (so far).....

I have acquired the 'random backup of pictures' on my phone again!!! So, it kinda goes through what we've been up to this summer!  Here we go....

I'm not sure what he's doing, but he's cute doing whatever it is...

We needed water on the deck for their pool.  BJ hadn't fixed the faucet out back yet.  This is looking into the house from the garage...

And from the deck toward the garage.... the faucet is fixed now!

Again, I'm not sure, but he's kinda funny!!!

The boys (well, Jake went the first night, but decided he'd rather hang out with mommy the rest of the week) went to a Sports Camp at a friend's church.  Sam at least, LOVED it!!!! He played football, soccer, games, (he says he played basketball and is really good at it.  But he never actually played that one!?), and he learned about Jesus, Saul and Paul! These pics are from the last night when a stunt guy came and performed.  They BOTH LOVED it... uh. oh......

We've been to the park and played in the water... Gwinnett County is really into their parks.  I am so glad!!!

Jake put on BJ's work shirt, and these were his words (no prompting AT ALL from us)... "I'm a MAN. I'm going to WORK!" Doubt he'll be that excited when the day actually comes!!!!

Sam went to another Vacation Bible Camp.  And again, he had a blast! He played, made new friends, and learned about King David, Samson and Jesus...

I love this pic because I kinda hear the 'Jaws' theme song with Jake back there...

See?

But Sam was the one who 'bit'.... as usual....

It's his favorite shirt.... mmmmmm.....

This is Samson's hair from VBC...

We've also been to numerous parties for friends!

And we've done A LOT of swimming!!!!!!

They are BOTH doing SO GOOD with their swimming! They are both swimming by themselves; diving under water; jumping off the side; playing; and they are CONFIDENT in the water!!!!! Heck, they're jumping off the side of the pool and swimming to the steps without me even in the water!!!!!!  THAT makes for an awesome summer right there!!!!!! Of course, nothing will do but for mommy to still get in the water and play with them!!!!!

Summer has been wonderful... I'm so sad that it's so short now that Sam will start Kindergarten! :-( We will most definitely be making the most of the next half!!!! Stay tuned.....
