Summer Update

We’ve had a very low key summer which I have absolutely LOVED!  But it doesn’t make for very exciting blog posts, so give me a break!  I included some cute pics of Ella to make up for it :)

The past couple weeks the kids took swimming lessons.  I put Josh and Andrew in semi-private lessons together and the learned SO much!  Josh is very good at freestyle with breathing to the side and backstroke.  He can swim the whole length of the pool and back (25 meters each way).  Andrew improved in his freestyle and got really good at diving.

We’ve swam in the backyard a couple times.  Luke especially loves that and would stay back there all day if I let him.  We’ve spent a lot of time at the park outside, riding bikes, and playing with friends.  On Saturday we bought a basketball hoop so we can shoot hoops in the street.  We’re just waiting for Darrin to find time to put it together!

Ella is as cute as ever!  Especially when she sleeps well at night!  Last night she slept from 9:30-6:30 and then went back to bed and slept until 9:30am.  It was so nice!  During the day she eats every 3 hours which is so strange, because the boys all ate every 2.  Her life doesn’t revolve around food like theirs did.

We’ve hung out with cousins!  Saturday night we played Frisbee golf and played at the park.

Monday we went to the fountain park for FHE and got shakes for dessert.  Gotta love half price shakes at Sonic after 8pm!

We’re now thinking about school.  It starts 3 weeks from today!  We’ve bought our school supplies, but haven’t shopped for clothes or shoes yet.  That’s on our to do list for this week and next! 

Yay for summer!

Ella has those kissable-cheeks! I want to go to the fountain park with the boys! Almost a year ago now that we did!
