We went and cheered on our Arizona Soccer team with our cousins :)!  Asher was glued to the game…minus about 30 minutes where he played soccer with some other kids.  Such a great night!

Just a couple of Star War fans :).

Asher waited for a very long time to babysit our friends baby.  The day he was finally going to come over was all the buzz for weeks.  Asher was so thrilled that his little friend fell asleep on him :).

Beck enjoyed his time as well…but he definitely did not know what to do with the crying, ha!  After our little friend left, he made a sign for his bedroom door and told us that it said, “no babies allowed”.  He’s four.  LOL!

Beck has a lot to say here about Goosebumps and zombies. And, he’s serious about it. “Boom, he’s the boss.” Ha!

Beck keeps progressing in swimming!  He loves being in the water!

We are so blessed to be able to enjoy summers at the Lake with Grandma and Grandpa Necas!  Our list of memories made is uncountable. The boys are already talking about next Summer!

Helping Grandpa tune up his go-kart!

Fishermen.  It was a big year for Asher.  He baited his hook, and held on to the fish he caught.  He keeps honing his skill every year.  He’s completely in love with fishing.  Beck…well, this year he didn’t throw his fishing pole into the lake, so that’s progress, ha!  He also named the nightcrawlers, “Moving Night Noodles” so that was cute as can be!

First Big Catch 2016

Touching a fish is a big deal.

Pontooning.

Just a couple of the beautiful sunsets we were blessed to see!

We got to celebrate Grandpa Necas’ 60th Birthday together!

Both of the boys got to have Corvette rides!

We found a turtle at the lake for Asher to race in the Turtle Races this year!  He took care of the turtle for a whole week, changing out his water, cleaning his tub, feeding it, letting it stretch it’s legs.  It ran a good, hard race, but it didn’t win.  Asher was pretty sad about it, but he did donate it to some other kids, and we’re certain he trained the turtle up for them to win :).

Beck named his turtle “Naked Bob”.  We still talk about Naked Bob, ha!

The boys and I took several rides on the golf cart…several times a day.  So fun to pop on and go for a ride down our roads, or through the trail in the woods, and the nearby field.  The new big thing that happened this year, was that Asher was given the privilege to drive him and Punkie around on the roads by our lake.  They were so cute traveling around together.

Punkie had his turn at the wheel this Summer, and was quite thrilled about being a big boy :).

Grandma and Grandpa took us to a little fair in town, and we had all a great time!  Beck was finally tall enough to ride some bigger rides, so here he is on the ferris wheel for the first time!

This ride was hilarious, and the best one they had by far!

Not a great picture, because I had to grab a shot quick before he noticed.  He said, “Mama, look!  I’m doing it for my first time!”  He just jabbed the fork in, and then used his hand to hold the chicken in place, ha!  Too cute!

His favorite.

He loved kicking the ball into the lake.  And, Beck loved retrieving it for him :).

Throwing the boys in, and getting thrown in!

Daddy love.

We also got some Auntie Dana time.

So many fun memories to record, I need another post to do it :).
