"Therefore we do not lose heart. Though outwardly we are wasting away, yet inwardly we are being renewed day by day. For our light and momentary troubles are achieving for us an eternal glory that far outweighs them all. So we fix our eyes not on what is seen, but on what is unseen, since what is seen is temporary, but what is unseen is eternal." 2 Corinthians 4:16-18

loving the summer!!!

We are loving this hot weather! We have gotten out the little pools, and Kaine and Halle are just loving it. (they are enjoying our little pools so much that so far, one of our little pools and also the cool elephant slide on the other pool have both popped! after only 2 or 3 days of use! bummer.)

Anyway, here are some pictures of the kiddos enjoying the weather. Plus a couple of indoor shots that are just super cute so I am including them:)


Our sweet little Layla is growing up so fast! I can't believe she is already 6 months. She is such a joy, to all of us!

This is a classic silly dance that Kaine does:) He is such a funny kid!

And speaking of funny, I caught Halle in this pose! She looks like she is modeling...yikes!

Halle sliding into the really cool pool that we don't have anymore:)

...and Kaine riding on the whale of this really cool pool that is no more. Seriously, though, doesn't this pool look like so much fun? And even better, we got it for $2 at a garage sale! So sad that it didn't last:(

This is very classic. I say, "okay, guys, say 'cheeeeeeese'...and Kaine, put your arm around Halle!" And this is what I get. They are saying "cheeeeeese", but it also looks like Kaine is choking Halle...so she ends up with this expression on her face. Happens quite a bit!

Another classic Halle face:)

Finally a good picture! (and by the way, this is the cool elephant slide that popped...blah)

Flexing for the camera:)

Halle has been enjoying the outdoors so much lately, this is where I randomly found her one morning last week. Not during her nap time! She was so tired:)

We were so excited when Amy called to see if we could watch Hudson one day! Kaine and Hudson had a blast. Turns out they share a love for swords, playing "soldier", etc....they had lots of fun together:) Herre they are pretending they are soldiers in the Israelite army:) So cute!

My beautiful Halle:) She is such a sweet, fun girl!!

Layla also loves this weather. She loves the swing! She is content to just sit in it.

We are hoping this wonderful weather lasts! It is so great to get out of the house:) Have a great week, everyone!!

These kids are at about the perfect age. I'm glad they like the water. We will soon find out if Layla likes it as well.
