Meanwhile..

While Douglas was at D-day, we were spending time in Oklahoma at Aunt Maria and Uncle Chucks house and in Kansas at Grandma and Grandpa Sessions house and Uncle Dan and Aunt Celeste's house. It was great to see so many family members!

I didn't take very many pictures while we were in Oklahoma and I think it's because we were so busy trying to keep up with the kids. We had a great time with the Edgingtons and the kids loved swimming and playing in the back yard on the trampoline. Gracie had a scary close call in the pool but luckily some little girls saved her and helped her to the edge. She got back in the pool and has been able to overcome her fears again.

My sister Maria and I had such a great visit and got to talk during our time in the car. It's so nice to catch up on sister time!

We had such a fun visit and here are a few highlights from our trip:

Lydia and Marley (Partners in crime) If they were born as twins my life would be insane. They just knew how to push each others buttons and make everyone crazy! Hope fully they'll learn to love each other when they get older:)

Fun in the pool

Grandma has the coolest dolls!

Grandpa has the coolest lawnmower!

But Marley wasn't such a fan.

Time to take a break. It's nice to be spoiled at the Grandparents house!

D-Day Paintball week

Back in June Douglas attended his annual Oklahoma D-Day Paintball week. He had an amazing time and said this was his favorite year so far. He has so many friends that come from all over and He loves catching up with them and having time with the guys. It also helps that they get to strategize each battle and shoot thousands of paintballs. He always comes home with plenty of great stories and wounds to back them up. It's a good way to refresh and get away from all the stresses of daily life. So glad you got to go Babe! I know you're allready planning next year:)

Catch up should be my new blog title

This whole summer has flown by and I haven't blogged one bit about it. I'm not a great scrapbooker and this blog will be turned into a book for our memories, so please forgive me as I catch up on the last 3 months. If you can't stand a zillion pictures of other people's vacations you better hold of for a weeks until I catch up:)
