Summer please don't end!

 Oh glorious summer! How are there only 2 weeks left? We have had such a great summer this year, and I really am sad to see it come to an end. I have loved the beach trips, lazy mornings, late nights, swimming, and just playing. Jackson has started doing golf on Saturday mornings which has been so much fun! They had a chipping contest and guess who won? Jackson got to pick out anything he wanted in the pro shop and he picked out a camo country club hat. :)
4!! Jackson went with his buddy Christopher.










Jackson had his first "real"sleep over at our house with his buddy Jack. They had the best time! Our Friday night routine has been to head to Marietta Pizza Company with friends after boot camp. They have a great little play area with games that the kids can run and back and forth to. The kids play and the adults have an enjoyable dinner :)
 After pizza, we headed home for a little night swimming! This was always one of my favorite things to do with my dad growing up. Beckett loves to show off his floating skills!
 Where did our puppies go? The dogs are gettting huge and super sweet! Here if Fireball keeping an eye on the boys.
I wonder if they found anything?

 After swimming, the boys headed right up to bed. We must have worn them out because they were sound asleep at 10 pm!






Sweet friends :)
 Guess who got his very own bike and rides like a champ!! Daddy accidentally ran over Beckett's hand me down bike, so Beckett got to go to the store and pick his own bike out. He was SO excited!
 Jackson has been into Spy Gear this summer. He has an alarm on his door and now has these binoculars that amplify sound. Greg was all the way by the garage and whispering for him to squat down. He could hear us!
 Jackson still loves his LavaBall!



 This past weekend we hosted Angie's baby shower. I still can't believe she is having a sweet little boy in just a few weeks!
 We can't wait to love on the newest baby Konop!!
 We haven't done brunch after church in a while so this past Sunday we decided to revisit. It is always very good but the boys can be a little loud. They did great this visit and we only had one chocolate milk disaster :)
 Attempting to get these 2 to take a photo is nearly impossible!
 One afternoon, we decided to brave the heat and head to Six Flags! This is Jackson right before his first roller coaster of the day. He said he wanted to go on the big roller coasters, but I thought it was wise to try the little wooden one first. Good thing I did because Jackson thought that was as much thrill as he needed!
This was much more his pace :) Daddy's too...

 Surprisingly, Beckett is big enough to go down Splash Water Falls, so we decided to give it a family try. They loved it! I thought for sure Beckett was going to scream but he went down like it was no big deal.
 Oh Six Flags, thank you so much for introducing my children to the slurpee...
 Beckett will never be the same...
After some rides, we tried our luck on some games. Here is Beckett throwing darts. He won......after about 10 trys. In the words of Lego Batman...."First try!" We have 2 more weeks of summer to live it up and we plan to make the most of it!! Jackson found out that his teacher this year with be Mrs. Woods and he is SO excited. This is the teacher he wanted. He is also super excited because for the first time his buddy Thomas will be in his class. We have been doing a lot of reading this summer with visits to the library weekly, so I'm confident Jackson is ready to tackle first grade!!
