This is the coolest thing the kids have ever played with...

The Bubble Machine!

Fourth of July Fun!

We got to spend the weekend of the Fourth with Ryan's family in Detroit Lakes. It was a blast! Aaron and Kim and their two boys were visiting from California. It was awesome to see them! It was a great weekend of family, fun and fireworks!! {smile}

We actually got a picture of all five kids! Yay!

The whole crew... 10 kids 7 and under... wow!

Logan, Noah, Kaden, Madison, Calvin, Ethan, Kai, Seth, Cole & Brooklyn.

The two oldest.. at seven.. with the youngest.. at one week!

I knew there was a reason we had kids...

I knew there was a reason we had kids... to do all those yucky chores that have to be done... ha ha.. just kidding... {smile}

Cole was SUPER pumped to be able to "help" Daddy mow the back yard. It was all he talked about for the rest of the day. It was so much fun to watch the two of them together.

Backyard Fun!

Since we spent yet another weekend packing and moving things in to the storage garage... the kids were stuck playing in the small pool in the backyard. They had a blast!

But we are all looking forward to spending some time in the lake... and actually getting to swim! {smile}

Brothers... Buddies

The three oldest...

Kai stopping to snuggle with Daddy.. and WAY ready for a nap. {smile}

The Haircuts...

After a day of playing in the sun.. the kids decided they needed haircuts. Madison will have to wait on hers.. as Dad was not quite ready to tackle her hair. But the boys all got new hairdos. {smile}

Still smiling for the camera... love this girl!

Ethan did not want his picture taken.. this was before the haircut. I couldn't even get a quick picture of him after.. that will have to come soon!

Cole with his new... Surfer Dude haircut... as he calls it! Love the flip!

Kai's new haircut.. the mohawk. He looks SO cute.. I mean cool! {smile}

What kind of face would you make if your dad just gave you a mohawk? {smile}

A pound for Daddy when the cut was all done. So cute!
