Family Picture

Heading to Chelsea's wedding - we're all dressed up so we must take a picture!  Jake stayed home with Grammie and Pop Pop - but they had fun at an old car show too. The wedding was very pretty and the outdoor reception was along the bay - gorgeous view of sailboats and the water.

I love how Jake has his arm around Noah, Ella has her Magic Tree House book and Zach is wearing Brian's clothes because I discovered a little too late that he had nothing to wear that fit him!

Evening walks = Love

There is something about a nice evening walk...I just love them. They are so peaceful!  The ultimate is when the weather starts to get a little chilly and you need a sweater or sweatshirt - weeshy please! After dinner is all cleaned up one of my favorite things to do is go on a walk with Brian, we push Jake and the kids usually ride their bikes.      

 Weeds growing in our neighbors yard - gorgeous aren't they?

 Our street sign:)

 Two cuties holding hands - melt my heart!

 Shadows in the setting sun.

 Need to remember this - always!  Why the hurry, why the rush. Your only a child once.

 Someone wanted to get out and push the stroller.

 Beautiful pink sky as the sun sets.

 We have three tomatoes!!!  

They won't turn red but at least we have tomatoes.

Looking up through our basketball net - just playing.

Mission to Maine

Zachary went with Grammie and Pop Pop on a mission trip to Maine.  He left on July 31 and returned on the 12th of August.  They stayed in a college dorm, Grammie made most of the meals and Zach was on the job with Pop Pop.  Zach had his eyes open to how others lived and the great needs that exist even here in our county.  Zach learned a lot and had lots of fun too!

An evening outside with J

Jake and I were outside one evening as the sun was setting.  He was so content to play with tiny pebbles and his fly bike and I was trying to capture the moment with little light.

* Fly bike might be the best use of our money ever.

Around our house

Random pictures from our days...

All five kids in these pictures - can you find Zach?  

The sunflower (left over from Chelsea's bridal shower) was just gorgeous I had to photograph it - a lot! 

We have had some very heavy rain so I decided to take a picture since I left the umbrella up. Last night we had very heavy rain with hail!

Bethany Beach - 2015

My parents blessed us in a special way this year - they took us to THE BEACH!  The beach is definitely a happy place for the Reardon bunch.  Everyone loves sand between their toes - including Jake. This was his first beach experience and he was a trooper.  His favorite part was the tram ride to and from the beach. The beach house was just beautiful and so big!  Brian and I felt like we had our own private retreat in our bedroom/sitting room.

On our way to the beach...car travels with 5 kids:)

In the family room of the beach house - taken by our friends Randy and Sue Huber - really nice to catch up and visit with them!

Wearing his sisters sunglasses and his little face looking SO chubby!

Walking around Rehoboth - on our old street - by Penny Lane.

Everything is better at the beach! XOXO

Lake House

We went to the Lake House again this summer - a lakefront property in Lake Meade, PA.  Another really fun time for us as a family - and we got to spend time with grandparents and Brandon too.  The boating is a hoot.  The boys (including Brian) love the tubing - maybe a little too much.  My most favorite memory was getting up early and kayaking on the lake with Brian.  No one was around and it was just so peaceful.

I'm so sorry this picture is blurry:( But you get the point.
