The end of June?

I can't believe we are at the end of June? Where has the summer gone? We've been enjoying summer, so maybe that is what has made the time fly so fast...

Sunday was haircut day at the Cornett house...it was Emmersyn's 1st haircut and by the end we ended up cutting off about 15 or 16 inches...both her and Avynne donated to "Locks of Love"...Benton and Daddy also both got "crew cuts"... The sassy new dames....it compliments the moxy that both of these young ladies have!!

Emmersyn's measurement...we donated about a foot of hair and then in the shaping of her hair, I took off another 3 or 4 inches...she loved getting her haircut!!





Miss Mazlyn playing on the floor...she's been attempting some crawling maneuveres--that is when her sisters allow her to just be...normally they are moving her around pretending that she is their "dolly baby"..



The pyramid of Cornett Men!! This was so funny to watch...my tummy hurt from laughing...at one point Bent was standing on their backs....the pain showed in their faces!!!





This summer has been filled with all sorts of creatures...here is a baby bunny that the kids found with their friends at a fellow resident's house this last weekend...




This is by far the biggest wagon I've seen...the man gives rides to kids in the area...we just saw him when we were putting gas in the car and got a pic...but we all thought it was pretty cool--hopefully we'll see him at some fair before we leave...notice Avynne's new "supermodel" pose she's been trying out...oh dear:)







Benton and Chris went late night fishing at Lake Mendota last week and Benton caught this 18 inch large mouth bass...needless to say, he was stoked!!








Yet another of the many creatures we've had around...Benton caught this at the creek...and yes, it's in our pool...we've had numerous wildlife stay in our pool throughout the summer...all have been returned safely to their homes and the pool gets thoroughly cleaned before the kids swim in it:)










The proud catch!!







Avynne with her longer hair...the kids have came up with many outdoor games again this summer...I think this one was Army something or another...




























Avynne and Benton with the "Italian Sausage"...don't ask me...he was a mascot that came to Benton's tournament...I believe he is often seen at the Madison Mallards games...????












Ah, the soldiers...















The girls watching Benton's game...they thought it was cold...it was 85 degrees at 9 in the morning with high humidity...it wasn't cold...











Grandpa Cornett watching the game....we were so happy that he was able to stay for 5 days after he had watched the kids for a week...let me rephrase that...we were happy that he wanted to stay after he watched the kids for the week:)



















Little Miss Sunshine!!

















Mazlyn rehydrating!!



















Miss Emmersyn


















They took 4th place in the tournament out of 18 teams...they did a wonderful job!!

















Scoring a run!!






















Little ball player!!























A fun photo of the team afterward...they took serious photos with the coaches, but I like the silly pose!!





Hope this finds you all well and enjoying your summers!!
Love and hugs
Chris, Sheryl, Benton, Avynne, Emmersyn, Mazlyn & Jack

  1. Cornett family -- I wanted to first thank you for your prayers for Jenny's healing. I really appreciate them.

    I also wanted to compliment you on your blog. It's wonderful to see the photos of your super little family!! Blogging has been a great way for family and friends who can't be close by to "see" us more often... I love it!! Keep up the good work!!

    Take care -- hug the kiddos, and we hope to see you all soon!!
