Summer Fun and Adventures

We have been enjoying summer and some of the fun and adventures that come with it. In just a week our kids will head off to Indiana for two weeks. And then after some family time we will head right into pre-season for soccer and the back to school craziness.

Here are some pictures of some of the fun and adventures we have been having...

 

 

For my birthday, Emma and I went and got pedicures. It was a fun and relaxing way to begin my birthday weekend. Love the girl time!!

 Stephen and Jackson have both started the orthodontic adventure. Stephen currently has an expander. Jackson is having an appliance put in to keep his teeth where they are so that as soon as two adult teeth come in a full set of braces can be put on.  (We are sure that Alex and Emma will join them on this adventure as well.)

 



Jackson got his cast off almost two weeks ago. He has been wearing a removable brace to help continue to protect the wrist as the muscles regain some of their flexibility and strength.

 

 

We were blessed to have Aaron's brother's family visit over the 4th of July. It's always such fun to have all the cousins together.

 

 

For our 14th anniversary, the kids made us a bunch of cookies! They are so good.



 

 Alex got his first professional haircut in years. And he looks great. This was the result of a compromise between him growing it out and mom and dad being frustrated by the lack of care for any length of hair. :) He is growing up so quickly and now is really looking the part of the teenager.
