Summer's never over....

misc goofing around and what looks to be loving one another

Happy Birthday to our favorite Olympic hopeful

We were all pretty obsessed with the Summer Olympics here chez Heit.. so Campbell thought an after school 'lympic theme would be apropos for his big 5th. Lots of games were planned and even Jadyn's big kid neighborhood friends donned their leotards and did some gymnastic exhibitions.. everyone came in patriotic / athletic garb and was ready to play... however, after one relay race, all jumped in the pool to beat the heat and that's where all the partying went down..

Jbird researched and baked/ decorated this cake for her brother single-handedly!!! Huge hit!

Summer beach days

Eating sand, surfing, swimming, splashing, tea partying, laughing, napping.. we have spent some quality time soaking up summer days on the shore this summer..

Summertime, and the livin' is easy

PS, We love you!

Even in the summer.. Always a fun time and nice little escape!

Always a photo shoot when you travel with an art director...great to have the polariods back in action!

Man of leisure...

sure, have a red popsicle on the white carpet...

The 4th now

My excitement about the neighborhood parade probably outweighed the kids', as I stayed up late finishing touches after "they" decorated bikes and wagons... but! When the day came, it was so much fun and chaos, even though the sun didn't really come out..

Finn happened to be cruising by the hood just in time to hop in for a festive ride in the parade

Campbell shares my joy of the streamers and flair

Jack Kirby is a force to be reckoned with on a trike

Never. getting off. the trike... this is after approx. 3 wipeouts on the 2-block parade route.

1-11

Leo's first and Jbird's 11th are only 2 weeks apart (with Easter sandwiched in between this year) so we celebrated together! Kicking off the carnival theme party year! Never enough pictures to capture all of the memories made at the birthdays...

The honorees!
