June was a fun month for us! Stu had to travel for some training in Ohio, so Suzy brought Carson & Taylor to visit for a couple of weeks. While they were here, Great Grandpa Jay came down to see the babies for a week, and Michael & Caitlin also came to visit for the weekend. They hadn't seen Carson & Taylor yet, so we had a lot of fun hanging out together!
We took the kids berry picking for the first time & it was a blast! A nearby berry farm has fresh, pick-your-own blackberries & blueberries that are fabulous!

Our little berry pickers - strapped in & ready to go!
It didn't take them long to figure out the perks of picking your own berries... free samples!
In fact, Collins spent the majority of the trip in the wagon (with the berry pail) stuffing her face with blueberries :)
Casen really got the hang of picking berries
... and eating them - check out that berry-stained face!
He loved roaming up & down the rows of berry bushes
Lainey exploring the berry patch
... and doing a little picking of her own
It was a lot of fun to see Casen & Collins interact with Carson & Taylor now that they're a little older & more mobile. Even though they're 10 months apart, Carson & Taylor are almost the same size as Case & Lainey! Carson loved to watch Casen (& probably gave him some ideas that Aunt Suzy could do without!)
Casen is not the best at sharing - his expression says it all! Poor Carson thinks they're having a fun game of tug-a-war, but Case is NOT amused!

All 4 cousins - how sweet!

Case & Lainey (17 months) with Great Grandpa Jay. He celebrated his 96th birthday while he was visiting with us, & he was excited to get home so he could use his new weed-eater that my aunt bought him! WOW!

With all of the HOT weather lately, we've been able to let the kids play on their splash pad & pool - they love it! We even have them enrolled for baby swim classes in a couple of weeks. If Casen sees his swimsuit in the closet, he'll grab it & bring it to me - he LOVES swimming!
Case loves to lie back in the pool (or bathtub) now. He'll even stick his face in the water!

Mike & Caitlin bought some bubbles for the kids - they had a blast chasing them around the yard!
