Summer-rific!

Summer is always a busy time for us, usually due to VBS, Youth Camp, vacation, and other activities that are mostly church-related. :)  We also LOVE that there is no school and we can spend more time together. While, we certainly are not the perfect family, we do have a lot of sweet moments... as well as some not-so-sweet. Our four boys have been a little testy since getting back from their visit to grandparents; but, through it all, our oldest has shown a new level of maturity. He breaks up fights between his younger brothers and offers to help his mommy more.  I decided to post a few pics from W. birthday trip to Lake Winnie in Chattanooga in honor of my sweet guy. We all had the best time! Most of my family was there, and it was such a blessing to hang out with them and have fun.  So, here we go!

These guys loved the boats...such a simple ride, but obviously
a blast for them! Even Tucker made it on!

Tuck had the best seat in the place...got to ride around in
his stroller with his battery-powered fan! :)

Judd didn't care for the rides at first, but once he
saw how much his brothers loved them, he started
 to enjoy them more.

Love my Abe! He had the best time...even rode the Ferris
Wheel with his mommy! 

Love the old-timey look of this pic. My favorite part though...
the expression on Abe's face! :)

The swings were a big favorite...I think they rode them
like 20 times!

Best part....Daddy all to ourselves.  We love him very much!

Enjoyed the new water park as well.
