These are just a bunch of fun summer pics! This is the first time we've been out to the farm this summer and the kids had sooo much fun! It was close to 100 degrees that day so me and the kids spent most of the time in the pond. Nathan even got in for a while with us! Alex could spend the whole time in there!

We used the sprinklers that Alex got as a bday present for the first time on memorial day. Nathan cooked up some hot dogs on the grill and we ate outside. It's fun doing family things together. Nathan taught Alex how to spray people with the sprinklers and that's what Alex spent the whole rest of the time doing. LOL!

We also got a new pet. Our house is really turning into a zoo! I never thought I would want a snake but seeing how fascinated Alex was with our friends snake made me decide to go ahead with it. Nathan had snakes back before we meat. We named him Red John after a tv show that we like and he's the bad guy/murderer. We thought it was fitting because of what he'd do to all of the mice we feed him:) Alex was pretty nervous about holding him whenever we would ask him. We kind of surprised him one night when he wasn't looking and put red john on him and after that time he's always asking if he can hold him. Alex never wants to try new things!

Cute kids :-) Creepy snake lol! I wondered if the red happy face had anything to do with Red John.

Still getting adjusted to the fact that you guys have a snake now :) . I think all you need now is a cat! And fish. So, "before we meat", I thought that was funny in the snake convo. Hopefully not prophetic though. So that was the swimming suit you were talking about, cool! And the last picture is my favorite, with the kids with their floats ready to hit the water, and the cows in the background. Perfect shot right there.
