Fun at Home

 Payton learned how to curl his tongue, he was pretty excited about that.

 He also attempted to fly with a grocery bag.  Thankfully he only tried this jumping from the bed. He even had great sound effects to go with it!

 Emma is sporting some hand-me-downs from her mommy! That's right, that nightgown and "baby" used to be Megan's.  Emma LOVES them!

 Megan straightened Emma's hair one day for fun.  It was really weird for all of us to see her with straight hair.  Definitely prefer the curly hair!

We kept finding Payton and Emma in the same bed at night.  They would fall asleep together at least twice a week for a month or so.  It was very precious!

Lake Powell

 We had our annual Witkamp family Lake Powell trip. 

 The kids outnumber the adults, but they sure love being with all their cousins!

We had lots of fun tubing time, even the little ones wanted to go for a ride!

 Payton had lots of fun on the beach and in the water and back on the beach.  He was in heaven and spent all day out there!

 We had a "ski trainer" for the kids to try out water skiing.  Payton was one of the first and youngest to volunteer, he was actually able to get up for about 10 seconds, then realized he was alone (Marcus was in the water helping him get up), so he let go to swim back to dad.  He was so awesome!

 Here are the 4 "babies" who just keep getting bigger!

 It was really cool watching the moon rise at night.

 Sleeping under the stars is a favorite for us all.  Here we are all set up for bed.

Another brave thing Payton did was jumping off the top of the houseboat!  He jumped with Megan two times, he is such a brave little boy!

July Festivities

Oh how we love the 4th of July, definitely one of our favorite holidays!

  We met up with the neighbors in Megan's parents circle and had our own annual firework show.  Such a fun tradition for us!

Emma was not too fond of being close to the fireworks, so Megan had to move way back.  Silly girl!

 But, she was not afraid of holding a sparkler, Payton was more timid than she was.  We are so grateful to live in America!
