Last 2 Weeks in Photos

     The last 2 weeks have been busy busy around here! We will start our picture presentation with Father's Day....then we had a visit from Mike's brother Matt and his fiance Kara. This was their first time meeting baby Obadiah who is now 4 months old! We had a great visit with them which included a picnic lunch, lotsa GREEN for some reason and plenty of hungry geese! A few days later we had an un-planned family reunion with 5 of my siblings and 11 cousins under the age of 6 together for the first time ever! It was a blast....kids running everywhere...yummy food....water wars....bike riding..tennis playing.....a nice long walk to put Aunt Megan in labor (lol!)....sleepovers and more! As I look at the pictures I am humbled by God's GRACE and endless mercies he gives us. We are truly beyond a doubt BLESSED!

Fathers Day 2012

Uncle Matt & Aunt Kara with Obadiah



(Please excuse the "no clothes" look)   Uncle Matt brought the boys a COUNTING SUPRISE! 26 GREEN FROGS!!!!

We had frogs everywhere..... including hanging from the ceiling light!



Then we enjoyed a nice picnic lunch of Fried chicken, homemade potato salad, chips n' lemonade! Yia Yia loves to be with her grandsons.....even at the midget table!



After the frogs and food at the house we took a drive up the hill to show Uncle Matt where our feathered friends are!



Zechariah was enjoying feeding the geese....I was a bit worried he'd get nibbled at!

 


Obadiah got stolen out of my arms by these two bandits...I caught them also stealing smiles....giggles and kisses!

Abigail enjoyed herself immensly!

Josiah getting a stockpot full of lukewarm water from Aunt Jen....the war was really on after he soaked her!

Abigail was sooooo into this water war thing that she wanted to get "her mommy" REALLY wet! So, as hard as she could she tried dumping that heavy pot on Jen.....it was a hoot to watch! She was giggling all the while!

To help her out and END the war...Jen finished off the last of the water!
