JULY 2008

July was a hot but fun and busy month. We had lots of friends and family visits to keep us busy while the kids waited (dreaded) the start of school.

We hung out with the Kreibich family...Neil and Colin like to be naked! Frat boys.


Dylan just loves hanging out with Arati Auntie and all he wanted to do was hold Baby Jay!


The four boy cousins. Nikki held her own with them. Unfortunately, I do not have a pic with all 5 cousins...I need to get one from Bryan and Michelle. Nikki is definitely the princess of the group...so sweet.


We had a playgroup at the park and arranged for the local fire truck to come by. The firemen were so nice and the kids had a GREAT time. Dylan talked with this particular fireman for about 20 mins asking him all sorts of questions. The fireman couldn't believe he was only 5 years old. Dylan kept him on his toes!


Colin enjoyed pretending to drive the fire truck. This was such a fun experience for everyone.


Dylan wanted a picture with the firemen. I think he asked each one at least 5 questions. They were great with him.


Dylan going for a ride with Auntie Dee. What a treat this was!


Dylan LOVED the fact that Auntie Dee got her nails painted with Dylan and Colin's names on them for the occasion.


Colin and Grant. Grant was so patient and wonderful with the kids. Colin definitely loved hanging out with his cousins. All the boys had fun together.


We never managed to get ALL the cousins together for a picture but here is the closest we got while the cousins were hanging out. Andrea, Chase, Dylan, Renee and Grant.


Colin certainly looks guilty but he was not the sole one responsible for burying his cousins. Tyler and Grant were good sports about it!


Chris and Chase ready to go for a boat ride.


Grant (in the blue) and his friend, Dylan, Colin and Blake. Look how Colin is holding Blake's hand. Colin wanted nothing to do with anyone except Blake. Blake was Number One! Blake was so sweet with Colin. They are all wonderful boys.


Dylan definitely had a crush on Aunt Vicki and Aunt Sandie! He just wanted to hang out and talk to them. Such a Ladies Man.
