sum sum summertime!!!!

i sat poolside for quite some time this afternoon. it's a rough life. :-)

Naomi likes to make sure Levi's hands are full of toys.

He just kinda goes with the flow. You reading that look..."whatever big sister."

Naomi wanted to me to "take a picture of us!!" while she was holding Levi today. Everyone was pretty cooperative, which is quite amazing.

birthday & dedication weekend

The last weekend in May we had a birthday party for Naomi (june 7) & cousin Luker (june 10).  And Levi was dedicated on May 31. Much of the family was here so we just had a big party! Aunt Deb supplied the perfect cakes and cookies. Rick & Craig led the crew in building a new swing set for Naomi which was also a big hit. We had a great weekend and could not have asked for better weather!!

Naomi had to wear her boots "just like Craig" (and aunt Deb has bed head.)

Levi's dedication

Peter sang to Levi, and of course Levi looked up at the perfect moment.

Levi and the grandpas...

Naomi is a bit obsessed with Craig and insisted he comb her hair before church.

obsession continued... she has the attention of two of her favorite boys.

sooo......

it's a good thing i'm no longer selling websites and trying to convince people that they need to buy a blog and keep it up to date! cause wowy i am doing a bad job at that!! in any case, we are well. Naomi turned 2 on Sunday. how crazy is that! i will try to get some recent photos up of Naomi & Levi, but for the moment I'll let you enjoy this video of Naomi on her new swing set that she got for her birthday!!
