frisbee, Father's Day, and friends

We were able to enjoy watching AJ play ultimate frisbee one night. I thought Selah would be running all over the place but this leftover apple kept her busy the whole time.

Some of the games run late so we have to stay behind to get ready for bed, but that didn't stop them from wanting to cheer for "Team Daddy" with matching bandannas ahead of time.

We've had a revolving door of extra kids come and stay with us while their mom was sick in the hospital. Although it wasn't ideal the circumstances that led to them staying with us, we sure did have fun playing outside in our yard and also at the splash park.

The kids requested a picture since they thought it was funny their ages were pretty much stair-step. Here they are at age 8, 6, 6, 5, 4, 3, 2, and 1. (Evangeline refused to smile since she didn't get to pick who she sat by. *sigh*)

We celebrated Father's Day a day late and made up for it by going to Ella's Frozen Yogurt. YUM. (Evangeline didn't want to smile. Again. *sigh*)

And for some reason they think it's so much fun to go behind Ella's and throw rocks in the pond after we are all done eating our treats. (They do it once and think it's a must every time we return, because kids are predictable like.)

When I heard my kids getting out all of their winter gear out I couldn't believe that they actually wanted to wear it outside in the 90 degree weather. They were pumped :) I shouldn't have been that surprised though because the only thing they wore this past winter were summer clothes. I wonder where they get their strangeness...

These boys are second cousins. Aren't they too cool for school? We were thrilled to be able to celebrate his birthday with him.

Evangeline made a friend along the way.

The weather held off and they were able to enjoy lots of water time with their other second cousin.

And then we had another birthday to celebrate the next day. This time it was just me and Ari. These boys were also too cool for school...or maybe just too cool for a picture.

Or maybe they were just so excited to ride this train. I know I was!

Then they played on a playground and got loaded with sugar.

I just had to throw this on here because they are as cute as can be. The girls had a good time relaxing in the pool while the boys played inside. This was a fun reunion after not seeing each other for a whole month.
