Swimming

There is nothing that can quite cool you off in 100+ degree weather like taking a good swim.  We are fortunate to have a pool about a block away from us at Grandma and Grandpa Graff's house to use at any time.  It sure makes the hot, hot weather worth it!!! The kids are all little fish and love to be in the water!!! Nate and I love it because after a couple of hours or more it tires the kids out (not many things do:)) 

Happy Birthday Grandpa Abbott!!! 

Happy 4th of July!!!

Little Heartbreaker

Brynlei loves to get her hair straightened but when she does it always makes her look so much older.  I seriously can't believe my little girl is growing up so fast.  I wish time would just slow down for all my kids.  The boys are so sweet and always tell her that she looks so beautiful when she gets her hair done like this.  We are for sure gonna be in trouble with this little girl when she finally does grow up (that is if any of her brothers let her date:))  Watch out boys!!!

Funny Brynn

Karter went to play neighborhood night games the other night and left his pajamas out for when he got back.  Brynlei found them and put them on and came in the front room giggling.  She thought it was so funny, she said she was being Karter.  She loves her brothers so much!!!  This little girl keeps us laughing.  She has this crazy laugh that she does and it is seriously hilarious.  (I will have to record it sometime.)   Oh yeah if you can't tell, I am still behind about two months on some other posts.  Stay tuned.
