Summer fun...

... we're having a great summer.

Isabella & Brady celebrated their birthdays together with family & friends in mid-June, they both enjoyed their [parties and got way way too many toys..

During the 4th of July we took the kids & headed to NC to visit Tim, Connie & Brianna. Our kids always have such a great time with them, and it was great to have the entire Simpson clan together. As our kids get older those times are few and far between

here is a picture that Connie took of all of us:



we're anxiously awaiting news on the 22nd to find out whether we will have a new niece or nephew in December.

Then we headed out on vacation.. The boys had such a great time vacationing with my parents, and of course Isabella is "Pop-paw's girl" so she was loving life. The boys went fishing built many many campfires, we visited Bluestone Dam and just spent lots of time relaxing & playing with the kids.

i promise we took Isabella on vacation with us, I'm not sure why but most of the pictures of her you can't see her face (probably b/c she never sits still.)

We're home now and are relaxing for a few weeks then Mom-maw & Pop-paw are coming to take Carson & Brady school shopping and spend a few days spoiling the grand kids.
Hopefully I'll get a break and some time out by myself when they are here. It doesn't seem possible that the summer is half over.

I'll post an update on my garden ASAP.
