Life lately

Life lately has been busy! 

We did the walking bridge over to Indiana 

And got ice cream on the other side!

Ava's super pumped about her ice cream

We actually got two more tball games in despite the rain 

And had a cute little cheerleader at one!! 

(Then we went for pizza with the Dews) 

We attended a fundraiser for a new playground at our local park one hot Saturday. 

We also went to Ms. Bryleighs birthday party but I didn't take any pictures! 

We had our last swim team practice (still continuing private lessons)

We went to time out a few times for biting 

Celebrated nanny's bday at science hill 

And had lunch with this sweet girl and her momma! 

Pool time 

And then we were just being cute! 

Aiden had been in bible school all last week from 5:30-8:30 so Ava was  like an only child at night. I had forgot how much you have to entertain one child. For the most part they both play together and I do very little entertaining. Needless to say we are all ready for NaNa (Aiden) to be home with us at night. 

So that's been our life lately!!! 

4th of July weekend

We had an amazing forth! Maybe my favorite to date!  Friday Ryan and I were both off so we sent the kids to Kami's and cleaned out our garage. (Don't be jealous)! Friday night the country club had their big 4th of July event so we went back and forth from the club and my nanny's for dinner and watched the fireworks from her deck. While waiting the kids played golf and caught lightening bugs!

Ava wasn't sure what to do with the pop it's 

 

 

Aiden cried at first when the fireworks started but was fine soon after. It was late and Ava fell asleep about 5 min before and slept during the entire show. This was the latest they had ever stayed up and finally Aiden asked to go home. Ha he was tired to say the least.

 

 

Saturday we pooled it all day. The kids were exhausted from the night before so naps were defenently in their future! Both napped for 3 hours. Later that night we went to a cookout and came home in time to watch the fireworks in our neighborhood. Lindsay Alex and Hudson joined us and the kids had fun eating ice cream and watching the fireworks.

 

 Fun times had by all! 

Goodbye June!

Wow June has come and gone I can't believe it. I heard today that school starts in 6 weeks. Ugh! I love summer and don't want it to end.....EVER!

I normally take pics with my phone but every once in a while I'll remember my nice camera! Here is a look at some of our fun times from the month of June from my camera.


Popsicle days after nap! This girl has to have one every day when she gets up! I guess it could be worse.
