I love the Braves

I love the Atlanta Braves. Weird I know. I have 2 apps on my phone just so I can keep up with the latest and greatest information on the ole' Bravos. We got the chance to go to the Braves game on Friday evening (when it was 104 degrees outside), and I LOVED it! :) Here are some pictures from the fun times, despite the fact that we lost.

Summer= Play time with friends

Summertime is such a fun time to get outside and PLAY!! You will notice that everyone had fun during this playtime.

Survival VBS

This year for the "youth group" VBS, we decided to go with a "Survival" themed week. One of the big activities was when Daniel attempted to teach 35 teenagers how to make survival bracelets. I wish I had thought to take a picture of him on a chair yelling out instructions to clueless teenagers about burning the ends of the rope and how to add the buckle to the end. It was quite comical.

It was pretty much mass chaos....

but they all managed to make them! :)

Another day we decided to have a fun relay. It was a little hectic, but that night we had 43 kids. Let's just say I was a little under prepared for that many!!!

Of course, the annual pool party was held during VBS, and the kids had a great time. 

There were also two other days of fun activities, but I didn't capture those on my camera....I seemed to have had my hands full. I wonder why? 

Some firsts for us...

Here are some pictures from the first part of the summer, and if you will notice there are a couple of new things in our life! :) 

Like the new PINK pool 

  New yard man

:)

New bow instructor (Eli telling Mommy how to shoot a bow)

And FINALLY, our first, new, shiny, RED lawn mower! (Don't you love that Eli has to have earplugs like his daddy! 

Memorial Day Weekend Fun

We had an AWESOME Memorial Day weekend with lots of fun family time. Here are some of the activities...

Madelyn and Carter brought their John Deere riding toy and boy was it fun to drive!

No weekend is complete without kiddie pool time, even June got in on the action. 

Happy First Birthday June!!!

We love Grandmama and Granddaddy! What a fun and wild crew! 

Big Green Egg Project

We recently purchased a new grill. It obviously is so amazing that we had to build it a home. Here are some pictures of the fun project that Daniel, Eli and Jonah completed. :) 

Notice: Eli is very serious about working on the "table." Even after it was completed he still wanted to go outside and work on the table. So he would go outside and hammer on the completed table. He also decided to draw on the new table with his new carpenter pencil. He did write his name...but I was not too happy about his artwork on the table.
