Here is a quick look at how we have been spending and enjoying our summer. The kids love to play outside, especially since we got our new swing set.
Travis, like all boys, loves to dig, play and eat dirt whenever possible.
Hailey is obsessed with the hose, and loves to help water...well anything that she thinks should get wet.
Travis got his first Tonka truck from Grandma and Grandpa Bevans, and has been loving driving and hauling himself around in it.
On the 4Th of July we went to Monmouth and celebrated with the family at my brother Todd's house. We had a BBQ, walked in the kids parade, watched the real parade, then ended by watching a fabulous firework display at a park. The kids had a blast, and the weather was a little hot, but beautiful. We talked cousin Sophia into pushing the stroller...for a little while anyway.
Notice the lovely decorations.
Hailey and her cousin Johanna were so cute waving to all of the parade floats.
Travis sat back and enjoyed the parade from his shaded stroller, while we all died from the heat.
The kids all cooled off in the pool and sprinklers while we waited for it to get dark.
Travis was such a little scaredy cat, and HATED the fireworks. He cried every time he heard a boom.
We were so tired by the end of the day, but it was all worth it when we finally got to sit and enjoy the fireworks.
Last month Kelly's parents and brother Adam came to visit us for about a week and a half. The visit went by so fast, but the kids enjoyed every minute of it. We also appreciated the help with the house.
They were also able to be here to celebrate Hailey and Travis's birthdays a little early, and boy did they love their gifts.
Hailey getting loves from Grandma.
Travis and Hailey wanted to be outdoors at all times while Grandma and Grandpa were here. Travis was really into watching the men work on the house. They were ripping off all of the siding and replacing it with plywood. It was a big job, but it went a lot faster with all the help...thanks guys!
YUCK!!! We ran into some unexpected nasty things along the way, including snakes and ant eggs and colonies in the insulation.
We also found that the windows had never even been so much as tacked in, so they almost fell out, oops. Luckily we got new windows last week, hooray!
And last, back when we were camping Memorial Day weekend, Kelly took our jeep into the sand dunes and crashed into a little 3 ft. dune. This was just enough pressure to release the air bag on him. Luckily it makes a great hat when you cut it out...
And duct tape fixes everything!

I love this post. The 4th of July photos are awesome. It looks like you had a blast. We didn't do much exciting but light of a few fireworks at my parents house. I think next year we're going to come with you. See real fireworks.
Hailey and Travis look so cute in all those photos. I can't believe that they are so grown up. Where does this time go?
Last thing, that picture of the Jeep is priceless. Gotta love DUCT TAPE! ha ha ha. Way to go Kelly, you truly are a man's man.
It looks like you guys had an awesome 4th! Love all the pictures... at least you know that the Jeep's airbags work wonderfully... or did anyway;).
Love the update. You guys have been busy. The house does look great btw and I loved your decorated stroller!
Looks like you are having a great summer! (So how come your blog says "spring"?) LOL
