Summer fun...

Summer is in full force in the van Riessen household. The weather has heated up and we've been finding all kinds of ways to enjoy the sunny weather while trying to stay cool. There's been backyard picnics...


... and playing with the bubble machine.


There's been pool days with friends...


... and backyard play dates at friend's


Needless to say, this Mommy is doing everything she can to wear these kids out so we don't go crazy!


I'm enjoying the kids so much right now. It's been so nice to slow down a little and find more time for fun outings. Garrett and Paige are starting to listen more and more and it's becoming easier to take them places. Something tells me that this is going to be a FUN summer!
