Happy Birthday, Erin & Mom!

Happy Birthday, Becca!

Pool Day!

We went to Amazon Pool for the first time this summer with Becca & her kids on August 2nd.  Memaw & Papa kept Tate for us so that we could swim with the big boys a little easier. (:  We had a great time!   
We had the underwater camera with us:
Ronan & Sadie
Griffin getting ready to jump in:
Griffin is swimming so well this summer!!  He is comfortable getting his face wet and going underwater now. (:
Josh took the afternoon off work so he could swim with us!

Family Party

After the friend party, all of the family came over for dessert & to celebrate with Ronan!  It was such a fun day!
Ronan & Memaw posing with the baseball pinata that they made together!
Aunt Amy, Grandpa, and Great Grandpa & Grammie Lermo enjoying the fountain area!
Almost time for the pinata...
...all the cousins lined up youngest to oldest to wait for their turn.
 
The pinata was so strong it was almost indestructible!  Everyone got lots of turns hitting it, which made it so much fun!
We got out the metal bat for Ronan to finish it off, but he still couldn't break through it!  Josh ended up taking a few whacks at it and broke it open.  A lot of the candy was crushed and some of the plastic army guys had missing limbs...it was a pinata experience we will never forget. (: (:
What a big seven-year-old!!
(:
Money from the great-grandparents!
This boy has such great facial expressions (:
He's lovin' the skater & rocker clothes these days.
M&P got him a cool dude shirt like Uncle Erik wears. (:
A bow & arrow set from Papa!
Make a wish, birthday boy!
We love you so much, Ronan, and we are so very proud of you!
