Party Down

Summer time is cool for lots of reasons.  Everything is more fun, even birthday parties!

Gavin's 12th birthday was a pool party at his new house with this good group of boys.

Calley's birthday was at the new Urban Air Adventure Park--so cool!

And Grace's party was in the pool, despite the rain.  Fun, fun, fun!

Summer is also the best, because when mom babysits, the kids are all home to help! 
These three adore their cousin Mason.

I'm pretty sure the feeling is mutual.  He was such a happy little camper all day!

He got plenty of snuggles from his sweet cousins...

and gave us so many smiles.  Love it!

Lila's friend came over to play that afternoon, 

so Mason and I were the lifeguards on duty after he awoke from his nap.

Chloe and Lila had a ball playing volleyball...

and doing some stunts.  Yeehaw!

And this little guy kept those smiles coming all day. 

Summer, simply put, you are the best.
