Bottle Shooting

All of my siblings and their families were able to meet at my parents house and spend time together. We had a great time. We started off the weekend with bottle shooting. Grandma and Grandpa Collins sure know how to host a good party!

Uncle Nathan was willing to sacrifice his dry shirt and shoot the rockets off for us to watch.

Some of the kids thought it was a little loud.

Smith Reunion

We had a great time at the Smith Reunion this year! It looks like I mostly got pictures of Brielle. She is always willing to pose.

I thought this was a funny scene... a cowboy stepped right out of his boots and into the water.

Evelyn's always a good little trooper. (Look at those lips! and cheeks! haha)

Wide awake... I thought it was bedtime, but Evelyn has other plans

Wrestling

Mckenna found a worm friend outside. She had to bring it inside to show it off. 

We love to have company. We get to see Devin and Deanna and their family fairly often because we live so close to them. It isn't a trip with Uncle Devin if their isn't a wrestling match involved.

Alayna was pretty protective of her daddy. She is always on his side and helping him out.

Bike Ride

We have just been enjoying the summer weather.  And yes, Brielle loves those sunglasses! :) She wears them wherever we go.

We went on a family bike ride to the park. I'm sure our family was quite the sight! Mckenna was on her bike with training wheels. Devin rode his bike pulling Brielle in the bike trailer. And I jogged with Evelyn in the jogging stroller. We were quite the caravan!

Lazy Days

I'm loving that we can have lazy days here and there and all snuggle in the same bed. These girls are my world!

Lou Lou

We started calling Evelyn, Evelou... and that got shortened to Lou Lou. She's really getting too big, too fast. This is a daily occurance, finding Mckenna reading books to Evelyn. It makes me happy every time.

If Mckenna's not reading books to Evelyn, then Brielle is cuddling with Evelyn. Or sometimes, Evelyn gets to be cuddled with and read to at the same time.

She is pretty good at making faces :)

She does pretty good with tummy time. Her neck is getting strong.

 

Thanks to our photographer, Mckenna, I actually have some pictures of me with this sweet baby... even if her tongue is sticking out.

Fishing

Devin took Mckenna and Brielle fishing. They had been dying to go for a while, so they were pretty excited.

 

Fishing in tutus... 

Their trip wasn't too successful as far as fishing goes. But they still had a great time.

Brielle loves the blue suckers
