SUMMER

Well summer came and went and it was full. We have just started our school routine for the year and are having a great time, but before summer becomes to distant of a memory, I thought I'd give it one more post!



4th of July at the O'Neal's new house



Sarah is out-pacing Amelia

A visit from Cathy

We celebrate Amelia and Judah's birthdays together every year because their birthdays are only 8 days apart. This year we had a 2 day celebration which included a pool party at our Y and a party at home with family and out of town friends.
Can you see Judah smiling? If not, just know-this is a picture of Judah with a big grin as he comes down the water slide on daddy's lap!

Pull apart mermaid cake-I get a little bolder every year
Annalise had a blast at the party.

6 year old Amelia-with pierced ears


Patience


So many friends that we love
Two parties means two cakes-mermaid for the pool, mini-excavator for home


Homemade pizza is a birthday tradition



What to get a boy who is turning 4-aquatic frogs of course! Meet Dump Truck and Thomas.

After all those parties it was time for VBS-this year's theme was "The King is Coming."

Our castle room

Lady Kathleen spent her week with us helping out with VBS
 Summer in the South always means more wildlife.

Cool spider that lives on our back deck-we specifically asked the bug man not to spray him. This guy is big and he eats bees-he's the Mr. T of spiders.
Summer is not complete without a trip to Myrtle Beach

Amelia wanted to dye her hair purple-we thought that would be a fun beach look!

Judah rarely poses for the camera anymore, but he couldn't resist pointing out the cow poop!


While at the beach we visited a very neat Gardens area that had some awesome aviaries and natural zoo.


Judah was loving the camera that day!



We also took in a show at Medieval Times and the kids (and David and I) loved it!

Well, this concludes our summer blog post, but just a few pictures of the youngest, who is changing by the minute:

Yes this is a picture of water bottles in our fridge. I took it because I asked Annalise to put the water bottles in the fridge and she neatly arranged them all-I was impressed with my little 18 month old!

Yum-blackberries

The kids were playing firefighters-I think Annalise was the dalmatian since she has the firefighter hat and the dog headband!


Hi-yo
