Fathers Day and more

For Fathers Day we had my parents and brother and sister in law over for lunch.  Here is PJ with his Uncle J and Aunt Ray

 PJ, E and Grammy

 My Daddy and I.

 Papa with P, Papa loves to sing and whistle and do crazy dance moves with Patton- he usually thinks it is pretty funny.

 Not this time though! Look at that lip! I have been trying to catch a picture of  this for 5 months now. So sad, but so cute!

 Uncle J and Aunt Ray got roped into a game of Monopoly Jr with the girls. Then B dragged Aunt Ray upstairs for some more games.  We felt a little bad, but we sacrificed her and enjoyed some time without the kids.

 Chris with his babies. I am so lucky to have an amazing dad and a wonderful dad for my kids.  Its true what they say- you marry someone like your daddy.  I got a good one :-)

 Poor Grammy swimming with all the girls.  Amanda and I looked on and took pictures.

 The girls making 4th of July necklaces

 Patton is cracking me up with his food! He loves his cereal most nights and opens his mouth like a little baby bird.

 We have 3 other families in our neighborhood that we hang out with a lot. We actually have kids every age from 8 to Patton being the youngest, with one more due this November. It is so much fun! We started a dinner exchange a couple months ago. If you have good neighbors I highly recommend it.  We each have a Thursday of the month that it is our turn. Mine is the 3rd Thurs, which means I make dinner for us and all 3 other families and drop it off to them.  Its a bit of work, but well worth it the other 3 Thursdays of the month when a yummy dinner (plus dessert!) gets dropped off at your door. For the summer we're not doing every week because of people out of town and things but we each picked a day to have everyone over to our house for dinner and all be able to hang out together.  Last Thurs we had dinner at Rachel and Adam's it was so fun!

Little Grace was playing peek a boo with Patton. Ellen loves to hold him.

 Tried for a group shot-it was kind of like herding cats.  I was studying it earlier- I love how my kids are looking att the camera- although you an tell elliott wants to see what is going on- she knows she needs to look at all costs. If you click on it to make it bigger you can see Grace is blurry in her haste to escape from the group pic.  Slowly everyone else ran off too.

 I was able to catch most of them on the play set- Grace and Patton are the only ones missing.
