Katelyn is such a little doll in these pictures, and the flowers at my mom's matched her dress so well, we had to get some pictures!
Brayden found one of his cousin's glasses and decided to play it cool that day!
You can't have summer without the pool! Katelyn does pretty good swimming as long as she has her floaties on! She had some fun with her cousins Weston and Hannah the day these were taken.
Brayden took a little longer to get in, but once he did, I had to watch him extra close because he loves being in the water!
Katelyn saw a box turtle on the side of the road so we picked it up. He had a little split in the top of his shell so we called him "Split." He has lots of bright colors on him and he is actually pretty friendly. Daddy made a house to keep him in and she takes good care of him feeding him and letting him crawl around. 
And this is her pet frog... haha. Just kidding. I just thought this was so cute because this statue was just her size. We were at the butterfly palace with Mark and Nancy last week and these were taken there. So cute! 
This summer we started out buying season tickets two the three amusement parks in Branson. One of our favorites is a place called Silver Dollar City. There are lots of fun things for little kids and there are even some roller coasters for adults. It's a lot of fun! The kids really enjoy the train ride...
And of course the Merry-go-round!
And the other kid rides... haha! It will be nice for mom when they can ride by themselves. 
Sean and I went there for a date night so that was nice... We got to ride more than just the "frogs and ponies" this time. haha
It is also getting warmer and time to break out the ice cream cones. Mmm... The kids get so messy so this is definitely an outdoor activity!
They have also spent a great deal of time riding their bikes and playing in their sandbox and swings!
