Hi! The Gates family has been busy the month of June! Here is a little look at what has been going on!

Loved this picture because Hamilton already loves drumsticks! He is following after his brother, but seriously- he loves drumsticks!

Playing outside one afternoon!

Our first swimming outing of the year.  The boys loved it!

Ok- all you Harding friends- no I did not buy this shirt, Harding sent it to me when Hamilton was born, and it was the only t-shirt I could find the day we went swimming! :)

Fathers day weekend, we loaded up and drove down to Nashville to hang out with Beth and Kyle and their new addition Adley, and Ryan and Sarah! Talk about a blast! We had such a great time getting to spend some time with these folks!

So mommy decided to buy the boys some little swimming pools! They have been such a blast already! I must admit to you that today we had to add some hot water from the bathtub to them so that the boys could enjoy them, otherwise the water would've been too cold! Crazy, huh?

Hamilton splashing! 

Gotta love that "Hudson smile!"

The boys splashing together! 

Hope everyone is doing well and enjoying summer!

Our 8 Year Anniversary!!!

On our way to eat a fabulous dinner!

Juston and I celebrated our 8 year anniversary yesterday! Crazy to think that it has already been 8 years since we said "I do!" These last 8 years have been a blast, and I am so thankful to not only be married to the love of my life but to be married to my best friend! We have such a great time together, and I am so glad that I am on this life journey with him! 

What's new with the Gates?!

The boys in their only matching outfits! This was the best picture I could capture- they weren't being too cooperative!

Our new family summer activity! Juston and I got bikes and also the "cart" as Hudson likes to call it so we can go on family bike rides this summer! We did our first ride on Saturday and the boys loved it!

The set-up!

They both wear helmets, and here is Hamilton with his on!

At the LR Zoo! We spent an afternoon at the zoo with Papa J, Nan, Anna Grace, Joseph, and Bethany while we were in LR. It was such a fun time!

One of the boys traditions when we stay with Papa J and Nan- get in their bed first thing in the morning and watch Little Einsteins! 

Me and Gracie at Graduation!

Abby and me

The siblings at graduation! We are so proud of Anna Grace and her accomplishments! She is going to go Harding in the fall where she will be playing soccer and studying to be a substance abuse counselor!
