More July Pictures

Summer is flying by as usual.  We have been busy traveling, swimming, playing, for me working.

We took the kids back to the North Canton skate center.  I just love this picture of Owen's little face.

I had a blast roller skating with these three!  They are improving so much every single time that we go.  Dawson still sticks close to the wall, but not for much longer.

Funny picture - Mike calls it our band cover.  He instructed all the kids to look off into the distance seriously.

One weekend in July we drove down to Cincinnati to spend time with our friends there.  Owen was so excited to play with another baby.  

I just realized that I have been friends with these ladies for over fifteen years!  Here are our kids together:  Stella 10, Carter 9, Ava 8, William 8, Dawson 6, Piper 3, Josie 1, Owen 11 months

Dawson told me "Mom take a picture of the naked brothers."  They love taking baths with the littlest one.

Oh, the twins.  They raided Owen's closet and found these costumes.  Ava is wearing a size 12 month chicken costume and Dawson is wearing a 2T monkey costume.

This was a hand me down swim suit from their cousin Andrew.  Dawson and Carter were so jealous, and both asked me to get them a dive suit as well.  I think they have been watching too much shark week.

Ava LOVES this umbrella stroller.  She has been taking him everywhere in it.

One of the main reasons I have ZERO time to blog:  I started teaching again.  It is a lot of fun and I can do it on my time in the basement.  I don't think I could ask for a better situation!  So pardon my absence if things are a little quiet around here.  I love writing about the my babies childhood, but unfortunately it's having to take a backseat now.
