Ride 'Em Cowboy!!
Photos taken in late May - Daddy and Andrew horsing around...
(Please ignore the unfolded laundry in the foreground. I try, but it doesn't always get taken care of in a timely manner! And then it has to go show up in cute pictures).
Watching the Big Brothers Go To School
A little brother watches his big brothers get on the bus out the front window...at least now Andrew has his big brothers home all day! (Photos taken in early May)
Out With the Old...In With the New
"Old"
"New"
After not quite 8 years, our refrigerator started dying. We called in a repair service to diagnose the problem, and it was their recommendation that we replace the unit. It was the very first refrigerator that we owned in conjunction with our first house. It was sad to have to get rid of it, but get rid of it we did. We purchased a larger side-by-side unit to go with our growing family. So far, I love it. I was nervous about getting a side-by-side, because I've heard that you either love them or hate them - there's no middle ground. We shopped around for a while and finally decided to go for it.
"A silly picture for good measure."

Soccer Camp #3
Today was Ryan's last day of soccer camp. He seemed to enjoy the whole week and all of its activities. His team's country was Ireland, and they were encouraged to wear their country's color each day. Any time the coaches said "World Cup" the kids were all supposed to scream really loud. Today they had a chance to soak the coaches - water balloons, water guns - you name it! We also played a parents/siblings vs campers game. We were trying to win 100 bonus points for Ireland with the biggest flag, but we didn't beat the flag made out of a tarp. Ours was pretty big, though!

Soccer Camp
Ryan is participating in soccer camp this week - here's some pictures...more to follow soon.
In case you're looking for him in the third picture - he's not there. I just posted that one, because it shows 3 of the 4 camp instructors.
All three of these photos were taken by Deb Lawson, the camp coordinator.
