Enjoying our summer!

We have been enjoying the sunshine and warmer temperatures that June has brought! I've been waiting for a long time (probably since ohhh about last November!) for weather like this.

The kids love to watch their Daddy mow the lawn. Especially Samuel. Hope is scared of the lawnmower so she prefers to stay inside and watch from a safe distance. Samuel will usually go outside to watch Daryl but the mosquitoes were bad so he was inside with the girls.

This sweet little girl always keeps me on my toes! She, unlike her brother (Samuel still gags at the feel and smell of wipes), loves wipes and loves even more to pull them all out of the container. I can't leave the wipes container anywhere near her or all the wipes will be out in a matter of seconds. At least she stacked them all up in a nice pile!

Daryl and I were cleaning up summer one night when I hear Samuel shout, "Mommy! Come and see!" I walked into the living room and this is what I found. All 3 kids "wrestling" with each other! Aliyah stayed happy for a maximum of 3 seconds before starting to scream. Can you blame her?

Aliyah and "her" (actually Samuel's) baby. What more can I say? She loves babies!

One of my least favorite parts of summer - weeding. Thankfully I have a husband who helps out. Hope is just chilling in our neighbors driveway. Thankfully Mike is awesome and could care less that she is sitting there. Samuel was sitting next to her but he got up right before I snapped this picture.

Aliyah and her baby . . . again. This is how she pushes the stroller around the driveway. It works pretty slick!

Samuel hanging out with Aunt Anna. The Aunt Anna who plays soccer . . . that's how we distinguish between the two!
