Enjoying Summer

We have been enjoying the summer and taking advantage of doing 'nothing' most days!

I am proud to report that I did not leave the house this past weekend and it was GREAT!

We spent most of the time in the pool....enjoying every second!

Summer has also been full of 'being silly' and dressing up in costumes bought in the Halloween clearance last year

Swimming, swimming, and more swimming!
Enjoying new goggles!

Eating SWEET cherries and learning how to eat them without choking on the pit!

Lots and Lots and Lots of sunscreen!

Messy faces and blue mouths from popsicles!

Haboobs!

And making up fun games like this one...

The countdown to school is on.....2 weeks from Wednesday, but we have ALOT more summer to enjoy before that day!!!

Pink Eye

Saturday morning, Ella awoke with a crusty 'pink' left eye...

I was SO happy to learn that my pediatrician didn't need to see her for it, they would just call in a prescription....

She was NOT a fan of the drops the first couple of times, but now is a champion at them...

Monday morning brought 2 slightly pink eyes for Logan and a slightly pink right eye for Ella...

Logan was REALLY not a fan of the drops and I had to wrap him in a blanket to do them...and then he decided he would be a 'big boy' and accept it...

Below are their 'post-drop' pics as they sit with their eyes closed for the 2 minutes....

Can't wait for Friday when we are done!!!

B-day parties...

We had a b-day party both Thursday and Friday....

So much fun for the kiddos!

Happy 4th Birthday Owen!

We had a great time at Pump it Up!!!

And loved the visits from the super heros!

Friday, we had Addy's b-day part....

It was a cupcake party and the girls had SO much fun!

It was adorable!

They got to decorate baker's hats...

So adorable!

Modeling her hat and apron...

And then they decorated yummy cupcakes...

such concentration...

Ella's finished products....I loved the tri-colored one :0)

They each ate one of the 5 they decorated and took the other 4 home (which made for a very happy little brother since Ella shared )

The birthday girl watching her cupcake sparkler!

So lucky to have such great friends!

Logan LOVES corn!

Nothing better than corn 'on the bone'

Fabulous 4th

Enjoyed our 4th of July with some great friends....

spent the afternoon in the pool, bbq, and then watched fireworks!!!

Love these patriotic kiddos!
Nothing cuter!

Mom

Last week was the one year anniversary since my mom's surgery....she is doing great and got some fabulous news. No more chemo and a follow-up scan in September.

So much to be thankful for!

We love you Mom/Grams!!!
