The Bladen Bunch

Summer is in full swing around our place.
 Photo documentation of what we've been up to:  (sorry for the instagram repeats)

 Asher got to swing for the first time.  He's a fan.

 We've been doing curlers and loving the results.

 Savanna spoke in Sacrament.  She did FABULOUS!  I was way more scared than she was.

 We built ourselves a little fire pit in our back yard and have been roasting away....

 Poor carter got two teeth pulled, a retainer, and surgery all within a 2 week span.  It wasn't his favorite.  Here he is ready to go get his tonsils and adenoids removed.  He was so brave.  The surgery took 14 minutes and he's recovering nicely.

 All the kids graduated.

 Carter turned 8 and invited all the neighborhood boys over for some fun in the sun.
