Wow....less than one month until school starts. How did that happen?? We have had such a busy summer and let me tell you, it has just flown by! I'm going to try to basically sum up our summer in one big post. :)
My baby girl is getting big. Turning 4 this week. Crazy. She got a new dress for the summer and she loves being all dolled up with her hair curled. She was showing off at church for me.
We took a trip to OMSI last month when we dropped Matthew at the Greyhound station after the 4th of July weekend. Zachary spent quite a bit of time working on these circuits and trying to make the fans blow. He got all 3 fans working on one closed circuit. As you can see, he was so excited!
One morning I went in to see if the boys were up for the day. This is how I found Tyler: he pulled his hamper over to their dresser and was sitting on it while he played his Kindle. Silly boy!
Our dear friends Sandi and Irvin have an amazing house and pool with an incredible deck. We took advantage one hot summer day and took some friends with us to enjoy some swim time.
Lunch time!
We got another surprise 2 weeks ago....Matthew came home for his dead week! We didn't think we'd be seeing him again for at least a few months so it was wonderful to have him home! And he was able to stay for a few weeks and be here for Kylie's birthday party too. He headed back two days ago and today was his 1st official college football practice. He now officially also lives in a dorm.
Kylie went and had a few nights with Grandma and Grandpa all by herself, which she absolutely loves. I decided to take advantage of that and took the boys and 4 friends to the movies. It was great!
Last weekend, Ace Hardware in West Salem had pony rides and snow cones. Random, right? But it was fun! The boys each rode the pony, but Kylie opted to just pet one and eat her snow cone.
Last Saturday we had Mike's work picnic at the park. They had some great games and prizes for kids, and yummy food.
This last weekend we celebrated Kylie! She is turning 4 years old on August 8th. We had a Dora the Explorer birthday party this year, complete with huge princess castle bouncy house. It was a hot day, but it was very fun!
And now.....the boys are at church camp this week. They have to be to church by 7am (OMG) and don't get back until 4:30pm. They are having so much fun! Kathryn is there as a Junior Counselor and she is having a blast too. She snapped these pictures for me of Zachary in the canoe. So cute!
And that, my friends, is why I have not posted in awhile! Happy Summer!
