Saturday was Brynne's 3rd birthday! I can't believe how fast she has grown up! She was a little camera shy, but I finally got a picture of her with her cupcake!
Playin' at the park... (Austin playing catcher and Garrett at bat and Jason playing catcher and Wes at bat.)
Ashlyn loves to be outside!

Austin and Jessica playing in the pool.
We had so much fun! After we left the park, we went to my mom's house to swim and barbecue. The kids cracked open a pinata and ate cupcakes, while the adults relaxed by the pool.
After we ate, I looked over and saw the boys playing with the VERY hot barbecue. They wanted to see how fast it could make the ice melt! Somehow, I always find myself telling them to be careful or not to do this or that. So, I resisted the urge and picked up my camera. I was sure they were going to burn one of their little fingers, but I figured this time I would be the one who got the picture of how they got their really cool scar instead of the one who spoiled their fun again. Luckily, no one was hurt and my dad made them stop just after I took this picture.
It made me think though. I think boys are just wired different than girls. Could you imagine this same picture with 4 pigtailed girls in their swim suits? It is so crazy how fast our boys are growing up. (I say ours, but I mean mine and Jen's. They act like they are brothers since Austin is the only boy in our family.) They just seem like little guys. I'm sure they are going to have all sorts of "great" ideas before they are off on their missions and out of the house. I've got to learn to not worry so much!
