Fishing

Gramps is so patient to take 10 little kids fishing.

Anna slept through it all

This frog jumped onto Grant's pole while he was fishing

Brady's catch

Grant's fish came out covered in moss

I fished with my cute little nephew Garrett

Trying to get a good picture of 10 little kids is not that easy...here was the best I got.

Hanging out at Fin and Feather

Little Anna always had a lap to sit in

We had fun swimming at the pool with all the cousins

Brady and Mazee

Garrett

Nick was doing water acrobatics and the kids were cracking up. I love this guy! He is always fun and always hilarious.

How many aunts, uncles and cousins can you fit in the hot tub?

Grant and Brady made their largest sale of paracord bracelets while we were at Fin and Feather. The gift shop agreed to sell their bracelets. Those two are quite the entrepreneurs.

Grant made Ben a paracord belt

Birthday Party at Fin and Feather

We had a birthday party for Brady and my dad the first night at Fin and Feather. Since we were at the lake, we had a wakeboard themed cake.

The little girls had a ball trying on Gramps glasses.

Dillon International 5k

The boys ran another 5k with me this summer. It was almost 100 degrees when the 5k started at 8:00 in the morning. Needless to say it was HOT!

Father's Day

Father's Day was definitely different this year. Since the massive tornado had destroyed much of Joplin, our church organized groups of men to go up and help with the clean up. The weekend we were assigned happened to be Father's Day weekend. Nick, Steve and my dad were all in Joplin on Father's Day so we missed them! But we were so grateful that they were able to go help and serve the people of Joplin.

Brady and my dad share a birthday and it fell on Father's Day this year. We celebrated later that week at Fin and Feather, but we couldn't let their actual birthdays go by without a little celebration. Brady just wanted a big cookie.

Dad and Nick right after getting home from Joplin. Filthy and tired!
