Swimming through the summer...

Now that Rome is a fish and Nash isn't a "flight risk" 100% of the day we spend a lot of time swimming. I try to make pictures pretty often but don't always have a camera.

These were made in the middle of June at mom and dad's.

Will and Brady

They try to act so grown-up and mature but are still just sweet kids at heart! That was evident when I broke the slip and slide out!!

Will and Nash

Mary Kathryn and Rome

We swam all the time with Manda and Emma but I rarely made pictures. There are some from the 4th of July that I will post later.

Swimming at the Brown's...

Ava and Adyson

Sharon and James Hunter Manasco's grandchildren, Brownie and James, came to swim while they were visiting from Pennsylvania.

Emma and Brownie

Baby James

Brooke and the girls came to swim with us and the kids had a "blast" with the water guns.

Nash, Amelia, Sophia, and Rome

I had to put this picture on because we spent a lot of time at the pool with the Hathcocks's this summer and I didn't even make one picture! This was taken at Ali's baby shower.

Lizzie, Abbie, and Ali

The one day that I actually remembered to take my camera to Kim's, we couldn't get the kids to cooperate for pictures.

Every time I tried to make a picture, this is what I got...

Kylie and Rome

This was a little better....

Our Summer was awesome and now we are getting ready to move into the next phase of our lives...

SCHOOL!!

Family Fun

Benga, Jon, Sawyer and Jonah came to Haleyville the end of July. It was great to finally see Jonah in person.

He is a doll!

Mimi and Papa wanted the boys to have something to play with so they got them an awesome water slide!

Here are some pictures from their visit!!

They had so much fun playing with each other. It is amazing how well they play together even though we only see them a couple of times a year.

Fourth of July, Friends, and Fireworks

Many of our 4th of July's have been spent by the pool, grilling out. This year was no different. We went to Gigi and Duck's and had a blast.

Rome... 

Nash...

These were familiar sights all summer long...

 Rome, Emma, and Nash playing with a watermelon.

I have no idea what they were actually trying to do...

 Rome's favorite thing to do in the pool...getting thrown by daddy.

 Nash playing basketball with daddy...

  Rome and Emma can't believe what Nash is doing...

 he wanted to look like "that widdle boy"

 We rarely have any pictures made together so, even though this isn't the greatest, I am putting it on here just to show that we do actually exist...

 Gigi and Nash

 Duck and Papa

 Polly and Kent

 James Harold and Brookie

Last year year the Miller's shot fireworks and now Rome doesn't think it is the 4th of July without going next door to shoot fireworks with them. Nash liked the sparklers but didn't like the loud ones. Gigi ended up taking him inside and putting him to bed when he reached full melt down mode.
