July Family Reunion

Where in the world has July gone?!? Wow...summers just go by way to fast, it seems.
 At the end of June we were able to watch my nephew Mason and his team win their little league baseball championship game.  Wow, what a great night that was! There was as series of great plays that ended the game. Mason was a part of the plays to stop the other team from scoring and possibly winning. So it was super exciting to watch all that unfold! So fun to watch him play and WIN!!

Cousins after the VICTORY!

 FOURTH OF JULY

For the 4th of July this year, we had a family reunion at my parent's pond. There were about 60 relatives that attended. My aunt and uncle that live in South Carolina drove all the way up here with their granddaughter, Carson! This was the first time we have every met this sweet little girl. While she was here she had a big 1st birthday!

COUSINS!

My family (minus Amy and Jeff..little Carson's mom and dad).

 While family was here for about a week there was lots eating, playing and late nights!! The kids wanted to be outside every waking moment of the day OR on a motorized vehicle which Madden would call BOOM BOOM!

Boys that love to RIDE!!

Going on ANOTHER vehicle! As long as it has wheels and moves...they will ride it!

 The week that they were all here was a whirlwind! We had so much fun together. It took my about 3 days to find my counter tops in my kitchen but you know what...it was ALL worth the mess having my home and our hearts FULL!
