Oops...we missed some photos!

I was going through our photos tonight and realized that we never finished uploading the photos from the middle of the summer. We don't have any more recent photos, because our children have decided to no longer look at the camera! That, and we haven't been doing anything exciting lately! We have company coming at the end of the month, so we'll have some great photos then.

The boys are both growing so fast. I feel like all I ever do now is continually buy them clothing, especially Ryan. I can't believe Ryan will be 10 months in just a few weeks! This year has flown! Zach starts year two of preschool on Sept. 8th. That means less than a year until Kindergarden. Can you believe it???

The photos below are a collection of a few things we have done this summer. More to follow...I promise. We have day trips planned for this fall when it cools down a bit. Ryan doesn't do well in the heat, so we have been staying indoors as much as possible.

Zach playing Guitar Hero with his cousin, Kevin. Zach's guitar is broken,

but he insists it is fine. He just wants to be like Kevin! Very cute!

Ryan trying to get to his puffies. He knows what's in this container and is taking matters into his own hands. We were on the blanket waiting for the 4th of July fireworks.
All of us before the fireworks. Ryan loved the fireworks and was trying to talk back to them. Zach spent the rest of the night on Grandpa's lap asking him all about the fireworks and what makes them work. "How does that work?" is a normal conversation for Zach these days.
Bowling!! Zach was thrilled to go bowling and to wear the cool shoes. (If he only knew someone else has already worn them, I know he would have protested.)
STRIKE!! Apparently, making a strike in the Moore family means you get a dollar! Woo Hoo! Zach likes to bowl with Grandpa, especially when it fills his piggy bank!

At the mall, Zach got Dippin' Dots. Doesn't everyone get a load of gummy bears on top? I'm certain there are more gummy bears than dots.
Grandpa's little Cardinal Fans. I love when the boys wear matching shirts!! Go Cardinals...Boo Dodgers!! (Daddy is a Dodgers Fan!)
Zach's First time fishing. Grandpa and Grandma both went along for this trip. This is the same place that I used to go fishing as a little girl. It's not often that Zach gets to spend time with both Grandma and Grandpa together and this was such a special afternoon for Zach! Ryan even stayed back with Aunt Lori, so he had them all to himself!
Such a hard job reeling those fish in!! Zach caught three fish that afternoon and Mommy even caught one! Daddy elected to go with Uncle Grant to the golf course during our fishing event! Daddy isn't a big fishing fan!!
Zach is so proud of his fish. Don't ask him to touch it though!! HA!!
