Gotta Love Them

Any chance Jake gets to jump in the pool he does! Lindsey does like it but also loves to roam around and explore in the garage. Recently she can be seen wearing a fire hat. Whether around the house, on a walk, or in the pool--she loves it! Silly kids!

A BIG Thanks!

A BIG thanks goes out to my sister, who volunteered to watch Lindsey for me for 2 days while I fed my brain with some OT! I wasn't looking forward to sitting in class or missing out on our friends at the Lake, but I couldn't be more thankful to my sister for watching her so I didn't have to worry! The class turned out to be great and I knew Lindsey was well cared for! The weather was sweltering but they made it through the weekend! Thanks to my sister for being an awesome Auntie!

The Next Mary Lou!

Could she really be on her way to winning a Gold Medal? Absolutely---NOT! While I will say, she doesn't have much fear and is willing to try anything, she has no concept of sitting on the floor and stretching for 5 mins or waiting her turn in line. In between the beam or doing a somersault, she wants to run or cry. She loves to jump on the tumble track but hates waiting her turn. She does well at the tasks she is given but I don't see her having the discipline to practice anytime soon! I think hockey may be in her future! Love you Linds!

H2O

Last week it was so hot and we needed to beat the heat. One day the kids played with anything water related. The pool, sprinkler, slip-n-slide, water table, water guns, etc. I even took the time to fill up about 30 water balloons. Jake and I had a great water balloon fight, Lindsey just wanted to carry hers around.

Fire up the Grill

I love grilling veggies and I am so thrilled that we planted a garden this year. Our tomatoes are now turning red too!

National Ice Cream Day

I read somewhere that yesterday was National Ice Cream Day...well..even if it wasn't, it was a great excuse to walk to the little gas station near our house and get ice cream. We were pleasantly surprised, the ice cream was really good at Fast Eddy's! :)

A night on the water!

This past Saturday our wonderful friends invited us to their boat! We were sooo excited to see it and even more so, get in the water because it was so hot outside! We ordered pizza, and I brought fruit, dips, etc and we had a great time. To top it off, the boys camped out in the Charltons backyard while the girls camped in for the night! We had a campfire, smores, and lots of laughter! Thanks for a great night!
