Small Group Cookout & part of the week

We had some of our not-so-small group (we have 7 couples and 13 kids, all 4 & under) over for a cookout on Sunday, June 22, and also invited the Depler family and Debbie, Grace & Maddie to join us. We had a good time, even though we were brought together under scary circumstances (one from our group got some test resutls back that might have meant cancer, but things seem to be fine for now and they'll retest in 3 months). Some inquired about my picture shrine and they got more then they bargined for, upon learning about our 2 weddings and 24 flower girls! I think they're starting to wonder about us, if they hadn't already! Hehe...always good to keep people guessing... just not gossiping! So fun!

Just some of the kids from our group! Those that braved the heat outside (all the guys gathered around the grill, to support David, but as soon as the food was cooked, they were back in the AC! Paul, Michelle & Baby Eva Diaz and Drew & Jennifer Depler Kerstin Gould and Laura Hirsch and gang Daniel Gould and Cherie, Robby & Liane Robinson

My posts are dated and this is from last week and I don't want to get too far behind...so here are some pics from the beginning of the week. On Mondays we have Sawyer and Maggie over and we really enjoy playing with them. We walked to the library and had fun...
I had to include this pic of Daniel wearing Ashley's new headband...he looks like he's about to go running (back to the 70s)! Whatever will wear him out!

We had 7 kids over here on Tuesday AND Wednesday...FUN! We did bubbles on Tuesday-- always a big hit...

On Wednesday, we were entertained by the guys in our backyard who were pouring cement for our new back porch. Ashley & Daniel got to put their hands in it, before it dried...great memories.
This was a big deal to the Ashley & Daniel...they found a rollie-pollie...you can see him crawling and then POP, he's in a ball...Daniel was SO tickled by it and Ashley kept saying, "Do you see him Daniel?" and he kept saying, "Yes!"
Ashley got her 1st stamp for the summer reading program at the library...it's a bronze...we're going for the gold!
