Library Summer Kick Off Party

John was so thoughtful and took these two little lover boys to the Library Summer Reading Kick Off Party while I was out for lunch with my Mom and sister. They had such a blast and worn themselves out completely.

 My boys are into the pretty ladies, especially the princesses.

 Choo-choo, Bradley is in love with trains.

 Pure joy on their faces.

Jackson's tough guy face.

Memorial Day

We had a huge BBQ with all our extended cousins and family since everyone was in town. It was so fun to catch a moment with the 3 latest babies: Brookie, Miles (Natalie and JP's), and Hazel (Ryan and Emily's)

 His little pout kills me, I would have given him anything with a pout like that.

And of course the rides in Grandpa's Jeep, which occupied the older and younger boys. I dare say I'm one lucky girl to have such good lookin' men in my life.

Andersen Family Photo Shoot

It really had been quite a while since we had an extended family photo, and miraculously this Memorial Day we were able to do just that.

 All the kids loved the little bench.

 Boys always find a way to get dirty!

 About 24 takes to get a semi-happy grandchildren picture.

 Our little family of 5!

JP and there little baby, Miles taking a snooze from the exhaustion of being so cute.

Cute little things...

Play time with 3 kids can be a lot of things: sad, silly, funny, happy, war zone, etc. Today it was just plain cute. That's the best way to describe this cute little fort, cute little snacks and books and extremely cute little kids.

 Popcorn, stories, toys and kids...what a perfect morning!

 My sweet boys encouraging Brookie to endure tummy time.

I think I own the market on cute little things!

Teensy Cousin

We had so much fun with our Andersen reunion and had to take some teensy pictures.

Hazel (4 mo), Miles (2 mo), Brooklyn (2mo)

His little pout kills me, he wasn't too happy to be stuck in between two little girls!  

No family function could be complete without Grandpa's old Army Jeep. Oh how we love to drive that thing around.

Library Day at the Park

I went to a fun GNO, so John was good enough to make it a fun day with the boys. He went to the Library's Summer Reading Kick-off Day. They had so much fun and were absolutely tried when they got home.

 My boys are in love with princesses...

 My boys still love trains!

The cutest kids on the train ride.

 Anytime you get to sit in a fire truck...

"ride" on a real motorcycle ...

 ...get to talk to a real policeman 

(I love Jackson's face, could he be any more impressed with this guy?)

 ...or get to oohh and ahhh over guns...

(proof that Mom was not here)

...makes for a great day!

(I love that tough guy face!)

Family Reunion Pictures

I can't believe that all my siblings and their children were in town at the same time, and better yet were able to get their selves and their children feed and dressed early in the morning for family pictures! It was a feat. But the was a fun sort of chaos!

 Mom and Dad with their grandies!

 Our family of five!

 Boys will be boys, I can't believe they stayed clean all through the 1+ photo shoot!
