Bedtime stories

We LOVE reading together, can you tell that they just fight to get as close to you as possible. Every night we read from our bible and pray that story over our kids. It's so fun to watch them holding their hands out to receive even before the story is over!

Team Hartsock

We showed up for our t-ball game and quickly realized that we only had 3 players! Haynes dream come true!!! We recruited Haynes (his baseball debut) and a few of the other team's players:-)

Port has really LOVED t-ball this summer. It has been so fun to watch him improve each week!!!

Haynes got to bat last each time, so he hit a homerun each time!!!

Haynes didn't quite understand the field...he managed to touch every ball hit (no matter where it was hit!) We definitely gave Haynes the hustle award at the end of the game:-)

Daddy-Daughter Date

Brian took Ella on their first date night to get ice cream the other night. He took her to get "ice cream" from Orange Leaf. She came home with her dress completely covered, so I will judge that it was a complete success. Ella LOVES sweets as much as her mommy does:-) I laugh at how many mornings right after breakfast she will look at me and say "ice cream?!?" Daddy made the perfect choice for their first date.

Games

My kids LOVE playing games! This little monkey game is by far one of their favorites. The point of the game is to hang as many monkeys from the tree without it falling down. The funny thing is that Ella really likes the game too...but she just destroys it every time she plays! I got this picture the other day of Lolli trying to help her play with the boys, I personally think she enjoys making the tree fall every time she touches it:-)

Best Buddies

We invited Dax and Crew to come swim at Lolli and Champ's house this week. Usually we have little ones that come swim, so Port was SO excited to have Dax to swim with! Actually when Dax left, Port got out of the pool and was ready for naptime about an hour early! Love you guys!

Little Helpers

Lolli and Champ got some new sand for their sandbox. The boys decided to help unload all the sand. Don't worry after all that hard work they enjoyed a swim! Love my little workers!

Field Trip with Lolli

Best Buddies on the Train

Yep...that's Port completely under water!

Port getting ready to go down "Little Niagra"

Port's last field trip for the summer was a train ride. Since I had already done the train ride field trip, we asked if Lolli would want to go with Port and Dax. Little did we know that they were going to make a stop at this amazing creek!! I think it might have been the best field trip ever!! Thanks Lolli for taking Port and Dax, they LOVED it!
