Summer

It's been a fabulous summer! We've gone to Worlds of Fun and Oceans of Fun tons. Ty has mastered swimming and diving for sticks in the pool. We've gone to a Royals game and Deanna Rose Farm (twice). We've gone fishing. It's been fabulous! We've spent most of our evenings out on our patio, grilling, or roasting marshmallows, or playing sports. We went to Utah. And California. Rob and I celebrated our 11 year anniversary. We got a bunny. Jaron came out. My mom came out. Daniel and Janessa came out. We went to Iowa (and drove through tornado weather. It got so crazy, we finally ending up pulling over and hiding in a back vault while it hit! Wild story--have to tell it later!) But it's been wonderful. Here's a few pictures:

 

Oceans of Fun!

 

I cut my hair again.

Rob started training our neighbor Dalton--he wants to be the starting quarterback at Liberty High School.

 

We put the boys in a soccer camp. The coaches always had funny nick-names for Ty because he dresses so . . . uniquely. Lime-time and White Lightning were my favorites.

 

 

Jimmy just hung out at the watering trough!

Work was tough (though it's awesome now that he is on foot and ankle!) Poor guy fell asleep just eating cereal!

Watch out Robin Hood! Jimmy inherited the bow Rob made.

This is Rob after release, but he looks so terrifying, right? Those eyes; that fist; the teeth . . .yikes!

Robbie had a dysplastic nevi removed from the bottom of his foot (like mother, like son!). He was super brave and healed great!

Whew! There's still so much more, but . . . I need to pick and choose!
