Miscellaneous summer fun

The first boat ride.

Hanging out with Poppy.

Ryder is thinking and being super cute at the same time.

It's really hard to get a good picture of Reese's real smile; he's usually being goofy.

Ryder is thinking and sleeping at the same time.

Bonnie and Clyde:
you don't need to know how they got their new names, but that they definitely earned their new names (Reese and his girlfriend Annaliese).

Brothers

I don't have any comments for this section, I just pray that they will cultivate a strong and loving relationship with each other that will last a lifetime and will always look like it does here in the beginning (except for the picture in the grocery cart). Thank you Lord for two precious boys.

The Yates Staycation for some and vacation for others

The first day of our stay/vacation we picked up the cousins (Evi, Zoe, Emet, Grace, Madeline - Reese goes through their names at least once a day) and Smed and Janet and went to Pappasitos of course.

Ryan and Reese saying goodbye to me and Ryder for the day as they head off to Six Flags.

Gracie, Madeline, Evi, Zoe, Reese, and Emet (left to right).

I think the story is that they liked the "tea cups" but their faces said otherwise.

Emet and Reese have to stick together, so far they're outnumbered.

I don't know what's going on here, but I love this picture of Reese and uncle Smedly.

Reese's favorite ride...the old fashion cars.

Aunt Janet and Baby Ryder.

Uncle Ryno with the two babies, Madeline and Ryder.

Fireworks Night on the boat.

Great Grandmom and Grandpop with all the Yates' Grandkids.

I know we are behind on a few events from the summer as far as posts go, but I thought an update on our new addition would be appreciated.
