More summertime fun!

 We had a lot of fun this summer and much of that fun involved water. In August, we headed up to Magna for Mike's work party. It was fun! They had big blow up water slides all over. Little Man was anxious at first about getting on them. I hadn't prepared to get wet and with Baby K, I didn't really want to get wet. Mike was still not feeling too good from his accident at work the end of July so he didn't want to get wet either. Mike works with awesome people though and his co-workers went down the slides with Little Man. He ended up having a blast!

Little Man hung out here as people ran up and slid to see who could get down the fastest. It was crazy!

He loved playing and loved all of Mike's co-workers.

Hey mom! Don't take pictures!

Little Man and Uncle John. He LOVES his Uncle John.

 A few days ago, I saw Little Man run from our kitchen to his bedroom. Curious, I decided to follow. At first I didn't see him. Upon further investigation, I found him hiding under Baby K's crib with the marshmallows for our hot chocolate. The little stinker hasn't figured out how to be sneaky without being obvious. Hiding under his blanket or running really fast to his room are sure signs he is doing something he isn't supposed to be doing!

Don't look at me and don't notice I have the marshmallows!

 On Labor Day we went up to our family cabin to meet all the family for a bbq. It is a tradition that we get together during the summer and at Christmas time. A few years ago, we changed the summer venue to the cabin and we totally love it! There is a hill that all the kids love climbing up. Little Man spent the day climbing up and then called and said, "Mom, take picture me now!" He then sat down to play in the dirt, ready for the picture to be taken!

The picture Little Man wanted. {grin}

We can't go to the mountains without bringing home a boy covered in dirt. You can always tell how much fun he had.

I love this boy!

 While we were there, I wanted to take a picture of all the babies born this year. Jack and Hazel Lewis have had quite the jump in their descendant count this year. First we had Baby K who was born the beginning of April, then Anna had twins on Memorial Day. Bret had a little girl the beginning of June followed by Alicia's little girl the end of June. Valerie brought up the rear with a little boy mid-July. We thought about doing the picture with them arranged by their birth dates, but Baby K kept rolling out of the picture. We had to surround him by babies. Also, having the twins right next to Baby K would have made him look even more giant than he already is! I know 2 months is a big difference, but man, Baby K looked to be more than 2 months older than the next in age!

Jack & Hazel Lewis' 2012 Grand-babies. We need a picture of all the great grandchildren!
