"Summer time, and the livin' is easy..."

It has been exactly one month and six days since we moved to the midwest. It's official here, it's summer time. We have been enjoying the heat, bringing back memories of our beloved southwest (minus the humidity). I was actually surprised to walk out of a building yesterday and have my glasses fog to point where I had to wipe them off with my shirt! WOW! SPICY! So amidst the humid heat we have managed to make the most of it by basking in the sun, half naked, by the pool! Yippie! "Summer time and the livin' is easy...," humming to myself.



Of course grandma and grandpa had to be in on the fun! Really, now what kind of fun could we have without them?! Grandpa took Esau on the slide and boy, he couldn't get enough of it. As soon as they landed in the pool, Esau would turn around and point, "eehhh! eehhh! eehhh!" he would say...implying that going again is really what he was trying to say. I think he was wore out after about ten trips down the slide...what a trooper! (grandpa that is)
Family has been so fun to have around. Esau has just been loving having tons of great cousins, aunts, uncles, great grandmas, great grandpas, grandmas, grandpas, second cousins, the list goes on...


We spent one afternoon celebrating Grandma Barbs 65th birthday! We partied it up at the park! I happily made a gluten free cherry pie, and spicy new mexican salsa (most are used to Picante around here, phewy!)

Potluck parties are so much fun, especially when there's so much good food and family around. Kellie knows all about this! Esau's great uncle, can't get enough of him (well he is such a ham, metaphorically of course). Helping grandma Barb blow out the candles and being thrown into the air was his all time favorite at the party, plus being loved and cuddled by his big cousins, who just absolutely adore him too!



How could you not love such a grin?!
