{Summer Sunday's}

I love summer and especially Summer Sundays spent at my parents house (I love them at Jareds parents house as well...that is for another post)! Some of my favorite childhood memories were spent at my grandparents home playing with cousins! I feel so blessed that my kids are getting those same memories! A typical Sunday afternoon usually starts out with dinner and yes I know that we are spoiled! Every Sunday is either my Moms or Jareds Moms or both!! So a quick thank you to the moms for providing Sunday dinner!! :) I did not get pics of us eating dinner but here is an idea of how the rest of the night goes!

Usually after dinner most of us will do this...ya know just to let it digest a bit!



While others play on the Mac or in Jared's case feed Pax!
A lot of teasing from the Grandpa!
The kids would die without these!!!! I swear my Mom keeps Macey's in business!

The newest addition to the family that the kids love is Pepper Shepherd De La Rue!

Ashlie is always cold so you can usually find her doing this ha ha don't kill me sister

okay or this....
Great Grandma Shepherd only comes to see the babies! She loves all of them and believe me we have plenty for her to kiss on!!!

Grandpa comes for the treats and always take a little snooze!

The gang talking it up!
We usually have some awesome treats...for example tonight was Homemade Oreo's courtesy of Tracie!

Here is the parking lot out front!

More visitors come....Auntie Di and Gavin! We love when they come to visit!

This is Boston and Brit's favorite new friend!!! Preston ha ha ok Weston!! Weston bought my grandpas house and we love him! The boys love to go play basketball with him! So thanks to Weston for entertaining them! We love when you come to visit on Sundays too!

Oh and did I mention we take naps! ~sigh~ Johnny loves when anyone will take a nap with him! His kids are too big now!

We always have firsts...tonight it was Brynlie going down the fire pole! She's 2 and oh so cute!

Last but not least...do I not have the cutest parents in the world!? I just love you both so much! It is their 40 yr. anniversary this summer!! Ahh...40!! They are just too cute. My mom showed me today a love letter that my dad wrote her last week! They are such good examples to all of us kids! I feel so blessed to have them as parents!


So thanks Mom and Dad for letting us come every Sunday and trash your house!! At least now it is summer and your house stays clean! We will keep coming every week if you let us! Please just have popsicles for the kids and some shade for the adults!!

Ashlie coud not put it any better.........

So long story short! If you are ever bored on a Sunday come on over...we will save a spot for you in the shade and a popsicle for your kids! :P

So many posts, I am behind! I love this one because it reminds me so much of my house. I love hanging out with the family too, especially when it is warm enough to hang out outside!!

I love the blessing pictures too. I can't believe it. He is getting so old, so fast!

You officially made me homesick! I would love to be able to have Sunday dinner cooked for me every week. Instead I have to slave over the stove :) Your mom and dad are so cute!

I love this Sunday post. It is just like our Sundays. Man, we have some good mom's and mom-in-laws! Your family is so cute. We definitely need to get together soon. It might have to be next week, because this week is Jord's birthday week and it's a little crazy around here. But let's plan for next week for sure!
