Summer Adventures - Jer's Wedding

A good friend who found his best friend - enough said! Congrats Jer and Adrienne! So excited to hang out and get to know this girl of yours, Jer.

Summer Adventures - The Aquarium

The first of many Aquarium trips, I'm sure - Ben was in love with all the fish but possibly equally as enamored by the guy making balloon animals as we left :)

Summer Time

One thing I will tell you that is a constant frustration for me is Ben's 'helmet hair' - he comes by it naturally with Jon and I both having super thick hair and one of Jon's nicknames as a child being 'red helmet.' Either way, each little hair seems to have a mind of it's own and I am constantly wondering how to tame it but, every now and then, I have pictures like these where the sun catches each individual hair in just the right light and you can see the helmet in all its' glory. I hope Ben understands that, if it was just up to his dad, he'd have a buzzed hair cut all year long as a way of dealing with it, but hopefully he'll thank me one day for trying multiple different things to try to tame this beast!

 

Summer Time - Hanging around the house :)

Just a few of my boys!

Summer Camping Adventures - McCarthy Siblings!

We had such a wonderful time with Jon's brother, Greg, sister, Jenn and their families on this second annual sibling camping trip. Here's hoping we can make it a yearly tradition! It was pouring rain the whole weekend but the kids didn't mind at all and we all had a great time hanging out together around the fire under the fantastic tarp built by Dave, Greg and Jon. Thanks McCarthy's/Baergs for an awesome weekend and many great memories for the kids and us adults. Love you guys!

 

First foods for Jacob ;)

Not a lot of time to write about each of these pics but wanted to post them nonetheless as I think they speak for themselves :)

Summer Adventures....they just keep coming!

A few more of my favs from the summer! I love these boys :)
