Park Days!

 Moms and Tots with Patterson Park Church is on Tuesdays.  We went to the Activit Center in Centerville.  So much fun.  Micah was having lots of fun with Hannah and Cody!

 Then the next day, we went to a similar park with Leah and the boys.  Micah was trying to crawl/walk.

The boys started out a little timid, but Elli was a good encourager.

 Wesley was the slowest to get in.

 Love these sweet kids.

 Chunk chewy!

Oliver was a little sleepy after the park excitement.

Elli was enjoying some snuggle time too!

Tunnels of Fun

 I love to make tunnels and the kids love to crawl through them.

Doesn't that look fun?

Father's Day

 Lunch at our house after church.  ummy.  Leah, Matt and the boys came at about the time Heatehr, Gary and the girls had to go.

 But, we got all the kids together with their Papa for a picture.  Look at how they are all looking at the camera.  Amazing!

Dad with his girls, plus Oliver.

 Micah was loving pushing the boys on his firetruck.

 Brent with the kids.

Papa and Oliver.  Love Oliver's sweet little face here.

Father's Day Camp out at the Club, June 15-16

 Swimming time.  Elli was grooving to the music from the DJ.

 Micah was LOVING playing in the water.  It was so warm.

This is out of order.  Elli wanted to give Brent breakfast in bed for Father's Day, but since we were camping, we set it up Saturday morning.  As I was downstairs heloing Elli get the food ready, Micah flipped out of his crib.  Scary moment, but he was fine.

 Brent got the tent all set up for us.  Notice the rain cover?  It came in very handy, especially since it started raining at 4:00 in the morning.

 Roasting giant marshmallows for smores.

This little guy was screaming at us for a taste.  Screaming is his new thing when he wants something.  SO, good sister Elli gave in:)

 I layed him down at 9:30 and he slept until 7:45 the next morning.  So sweet.

It was a little tight in the there with the pack n play, but we made it work.  Elli is a wild sleeper, moving allover the place.  At one point, she sat up and said, "This is a sad night."  (all while sleeping)

Elli's 4th Ballet Recital, June 14-15

 The Elli supporters:)

 Couldn't quite get everyone looking in the same direction at the same time, but the Schoettmers were there.  Heatehr and Gloria ran in at the start of the rehearsal at the same time as Megan and Seth.  barely made it!

 Emma Grace is looking at Caroline as if to say, "Like this, sister?"

 Raymonds and Fergusons, well a lot of them anyway:)

I caught a sweet moment of Elli talking to Micah.  See his little head?  I think she was kindly telling him not to eat the shoes:)

 Daddy got Elli some colorful flowers on the day of her recital.  She was very happy with them.

 Love her little smile this year. I think in the past she was too nervous.

 She is getting so graceful and much better at following the routine.

 Elli, Lily, and Lydia had ballet together this year.

One family shot:)

 He sure loves his sister.

 Elli got a huge smile when she heard one little girl comment about her as she walked past, "Wow, mom.  Look at that princess!"

My princess posing on the rock outside the school where her recital was held.  West Carrolton High School.
I cannot believe how big she looks in these pictures.  My girl sure is growing quickly.

Last night of VBS and a Sleep over

 Elli and Lily

 Sherry and I.

 Pastor Boo getting tarred (chocolate syrup) and feathered.  The kids brought in way more than the goal of $3500 for the missions offering, so Pastor Boo followed through with the promise.  The kids loved it, for the most part. Now there are gospel books and wheelchairs making their way to kids in India!

Elli's crew.  Knights 8:)

 The girls, Emilee, Elli and Lily with Nick Boucher, the court jester.

 Pretty princesses getting ready for bed.

Same dresses!  They were watering the flowers and somehow got soaked?  Go figure:)

VBS Kingdom Rock

 Love watching her dance and learn the moves.

 Really learning, singing, and dancing.

She was holding up her sign trying to get her group chosen to participate in the game time.
We sure do love VBS week.

Micah's Birtday

 Started at the park with the Patterson Park Moms and Tots group.  He loves Sherry and Cody:)

 First ice cream cone!

"OOOOOOOO"

" OHHHHHHH"

Sweet face while sucking all the ice cream out:)

 Laughing

And squealing.  What a fun experience:)
I cannot believe my baby is one.  He is such a joyful soul.  Keeps us laughing yet still gives the sweetest, biggest hugs and kisses.  Oh my goodness.  Love you so much!
