9 kids and Hoyt pool for the day.
Ben
Reunited with our favorite Milwaukee friends!
Ben spent the day with Gram while we took the big kids on an adventure.
Look at us. We had “real” pictures taken!
Venture River with the cousins.
Ben may love cars almost as much as Teague.
Ben was quite positive this car was made for him.
Bonding over cars.
I took the kids for a last good-bye with Judy and Jerry and to see Aunt Sara, Lori, and Jay.
Pool time with Gram.
Ben and I are on our way to KY to meet up with the big kids.
Ben’s in charge or he thinks he is.
Puppy love.
I’m painting this weekend and Ben and Wade are helping me with some projects too.
I asked Ben to pick up his puzzle. I was in the other room so I was curious what he would do without any help. I was rather impressed.
First child that is messing with the stove. This one is T-R-O-U-B-L-E.
Hi you.
Today we took our monkeys to the zoo.
This child rarely eats in his high chair. Today under the table seemed like a good spot.
Ben loves his new chair. Now he feels like a big kid at the beach.
Wade and I got 6 kids dressed and to church on time. We are superheroes.
Testing out the bouncy house.
My two nieces are visiting for the weekend. I definitely have everything under control….
Books with puppy.
These two boxes at the backdoor provided an entire morning of fun.
A little water play, a little sidewalk chalk.
Sand, sand, everywhere.
Living that lake life.
The youngest two looking all cute.
Brothers with matching yogurt mustaches.
Silver Lake
(We discovered elephant ears at the snack bar. They know they get one as soon as I get my picture.)
Silver lake – again.
Ben was here.
This slide session lasted less 5 minutes. You win some. You lose some.
Summer sunday.
(Kaitlyn is in a dress made by Granny and originally worn by Aunt Emmy.)
Brothers.
This rice box has been going strong since Alex was the only kid in Milwaukee. One of my best $6 investments.
My favorite little guy.
Concert on the Common to celebrate the Fourth.
Happy Birthday to Kaitlyn!!
Cruising’ in the driveway.
Everyone had a good time at the splash pad/pool. Not everyone was excited about the picture.
Three generations of Burch males eating onion rings at Art Bradish.
Ben just swinging away with Granny and Pop.
Mud Day at the Ecotarium.
He’s into everything!!
Back to Silver Lake.
I think his favorite part of the beach was the snacks.
Soccer Sunday was HOT!
We took a road trip to Vermont and visited Ben & Jerry’s.
