Jess's Birthday! 21!
Shannell, Sarah and I had a Costco adventure! We learned some valuable lessons that day! After ringing up $350 worth of groceries up, we had decided I would just put it on my credit card and they would give me cash....Costco only accepts American Express credit cards.... I have a Visa! There was a long line of impatient customers while we were putting stuff back and seeing how much money we had all together! It was a pretty funny site to see us counting cash and putting a bunch of stuff back.
One of our favorite things to do during the summer is to hang out by the pool!

I have been cooking up a storm! Adam is loving it and it has been pretty fun for me, especially when it turns out and tastes good.
Addy boo is such a cute dramatic princess! We love her!
The Hanna girls!
We have had lots of fun this summer already. Crazy to think that we have already been here almost three months. It has been so much fun having my whole family out here.

~Bike rides and NBA playoffs~





Summer time is here! We have already had so much fun here in Rockville, Maryland despite the last few weeks of RAINING!! Our laptop has been acting all crazy, working sometimes and then not working.....
We live in a town square that has lots to do and see. The summer's here are great because there are alway concerts, movies, food, and exciting things to do and we just have to walk out our apartments. One of the things I love to do is to ride my bike!! There are so many cool things to see around here, that I talked Jess into getting a bike as well! We love to ride around while listening to music looking at all the old houses and enjoying the weather. Our husbands also love the bikes! They have not yet ventured out of the apartment halls with the pink bikes but they do love to knock on peoples door and ride off. Mike and Adam have so much fun together, they are like little boys when they get together. Jessica and I feel so blessed that they are such great friends with each other and the rest of the boys in our crazy family! AND then there is the NBA play-offs and finals and whatever but it has been a nightly thing for Adam and Mike to chill in the work out room, eating and watching the games.....definantly not working out! We are having tons of fun and hopefully my computer will keep working so I can update all the great things that we get to do!

Mckinley, Baseball, and Old Churches

I love her smile!

Look at those big blue eyes!



Here she was just staring up at Adam!






Yankee's vs. Orioles



Old churches

We live in such an awesome area with tons of old buildings and cool things to see! I love going on bike rides on the cobble stone sidewalks and seeing houses from the 1800's. We have been busy doing nothing! But it has been great. We went to a baseball game- Orioles vs. Yankees. The Yankees won. There were more Yankee fans than Oriole fans. It was fun. I got to babysit Mckinley and so I got my camera out and put her tutu on and took some pics. She is such a cute baby and Braxton is such a good and hilarious helper. I love having all my neices and nephews out here!

Between birthdays, and cupcakes; circuses, and water fountains; parks and swings; church and new callings; babies and family we have been busy! Enjoying the SUNSHINE and the RAIN! Loving almost every second of it!

Fun Fun and more FUN!









"borrowing" a grocery cart for the summer! We walked the five blocks from the grocery store back to the apartments with our cart full of groceries! Each time a cop passed I would get so nervous but it has definantly been nice not having to haul all our groceries to our apartments! Now I have two sweet sets of wheels! My bike and my cart!
I have had so much fun with my family! The kids keep my busy and laughing! We have had a blast playing in parks, going to the movies, watching Dancing with the Stars and just being together.
