Some more summer FUN!

 We went to the splash pad with the girls. We always had a good time!

 We also went to the water park in Avon Lake with Julie and Tommy. The kids always LOVE this!

 Jenna had a pool party with some friends.

 The Fair. One of our favorite traditions! This year was the first year Jay got to come! This is the first year of our marriage that he hasn't worked weekends,

 We thought this was cool!

 Walking with the Family in our new favorite spot! Thanks Jake for showing it to us!

 Love this chunk a munk!

Swim Team

 The kids were on the Mills Creek Swim Team this year! Jenna has been on the last couple years but this was Samuel's first year. They had sooo much fun and did a great job! They added a bunch of new ribbons to their collection! We are so proud of how hard they worked! Go Mills Creek!

                       The O'neil boys joined this year as well and it was a real treat for Samuel to have his buddies  Mikey and Roger with him!

It's Great To be 8!

 This Was Samuel's Announcement for his baptism day. 
Samuel has been waiting  so long for this day to come! He couldn't wait to be Baptized!

 He has so much faith and always tries hard to choose the right. We are all grateful for his righteous example in our lives!

 I Love this picture of Jay and Samuel because we have a very similar picture of Jay and my dad on the day he was baptized.
