Visitors!!

Vick and Jeppe came to visit with their adorable children this week.  I have not seen my dear friend, Vick since October 2011.  However, it seemed like we had not missed a beat!  

It was hot during their visit so we were in the water A LOT!!!  

The first day we took them to Brenta River.

Vick and Marie

Showing off their muscles!! lol!

Getting ready to ride on the current.  It's a natural water park here!

Whitney and Timothy

Even Kayla loves it here!

Jumping off the bridge (kind of)

So graceful!!

For dinner we had pizza and bowling on base.
Since they live in Denmark we thought we would show them a little bit of America.

That night we made a fire and they all had their first S'more!

Sirmione

The next day we went to Lake Garda for more swimming

It was just a little bit more crowded than the river was!

Jeppe and Marie

This is my beautiful friend... all animals love her!

She taught Connor and Whitney her tricks

Walking through Sirmione

 Alta Villa Aquapark

Day 3 we opted for a water park

There was hardly anyone there, besides us, all day!!

Taking a break from swimming to play some volley ball!

 La Pignole

On their last night here we left all the kids with Connor and enjoyed a wonderful dinner with a beautiful view of Italy.

Lots of goodbyes!! :(

After saying good bye to Vick's family we had a lot more goodbyes to have.  

So many dear friends are leaving to go back to the US this summer.  

It was an emotional week!

Turning 41!

My birthday didn't go quite as planned.  We had a trip planned to Serbia but, for many reasons, decided we should cancel.  

So, instead we stayed home and I didn't have to cook dinner!! :)  

The best part was spending it with those I love MOST!!

These guys surprised me with a cake they made all by themselves while I was at work!  *LOVE*

Flag Football 

I finally got some pics of the boys game this week.  

It's so fun to watch both of them play on the same team!

Summer Fun!!

The long, summer days of 90+ degree heat - every day- with no rain - but LOTS of mosquitos...

 are here!!! :(

It may be small but it's a life saver right now!!

WRR (Whitney's Room Rules)

I had to include the new sign Whitney put up on her door.

Rules include: 1. Don't look inside my secret place 2. Have fun  3. Do not be polite  

4.  Be yourself  5. Remember to pray  6.  You can be whatever you want to be

Pokemon Go!

No one in our family has ever been into Pokemon before, so I was surprised when the boys wanted to get this game on their phones.  Now that I know what it is - I have to say I really like it!!  It is something fun we can all do together and it forces you to get out of the house and move around... 

A LOT!!
