Swim Lessons and VBS

Annie started swim lessons this week. She has been asking to do them for a little while now and I thought that it would be better to do them the start of the summertime so she could use her skills she learned throughout the Summer 😀

She had a fun time and was very impressed that she had a boy teacher. I told Matt good thing that it was Annie stuck with a boy teacher because Ellie would have straight up declined swimming lessons at that age if she knew she was going to have a boy teach her. 

Ellie started VBS this week too and was very excited about going and seeing some of her friends from her kindergarten class. 💗

Happy Summer ☀️⛱🏊🏻

Sell, sell, sell

Last Saturday we had a yard sell and a lemonade sale 😀

The girls had a big time selling lemonade and making some money. Now they are dying to spend it.

We had our first and probably last... Yard sale. It was worth it and we made a good bit of money but it was so stinkin HOT! And just the idea of it leading up to it stressed me out. 

We did get rid of ALOT of stuff and had Lovelady pick up the remainder of it so that was great!!

Summer Reading, sisters and strawberries

Last Wednesday we went to the Civic Center to help kick off the Summer Reading Program. It was a juggling/ magic show. Ellie loved it. Annie hated it 😀 You win some you loose some.

Since summer has started these two sisters have been fighting like cats and dogs. I blame it on the heat 😀 and spending too much time together...

So after all the fighting I have been hearing lately it sure did melt my heart to see this the other night after we sat down to watch a movie 💗💗

The girls love to pick things. We have already been once this spring to pick strawberries but got rained out so we made one more trip to pick.

I knew it would be very hot so we left early and were able to pick 2 gallons🍓

A day at Lets Play

We spent one day last week at Lets Play

It has been a while since we had been there and it took the girls a little while to warm up to all the fun out they ended up playing for over 2 hours and still were not ready to leave. 

Anna was even there to dance with the girls 😀

Getting ready for Henry

Since I knew that we would have a whole summer of playing I figured I better get on it before school let out and get ready for baby Henry.

I finished up his room the week before school let out. We love going in there and looking at his room and talking about all the things he will do in there 😀

Now I have to move on to finishing up the girls play room and boy are they pushing me to get it done so they can starting playing aka destroying it

Summertime

We have had our last day of school. 

I have been overly sentimental about my baby's first and last day ever at the wee center.... And have shed a few tears. 

We have celebrated Ellie's last day in the pre 3

And taken lots of pictures to remember the school year by...

 And we have had kindergarten graduation...

And now school is out and we are ready to play and soak up all the summertime that we can. 

And we did a pretty good job at kicking off summer this weekend but we still have a long bucket list of things we want to do 

Around here

We have been hustling and bustling around here trying younger some things wrapped up with this crazy long addition. As far as the addition goes... We are about two projects shy of being done on the outside. Which is very nice considering we have been spending much much time outside lately. Our big things inside are finishing the hardwood floors and doing the opening in the living room. It doesn't really sounds like too much. We are ready to be finished with this thing and just enjoy it :)

Also, in addition to ALL of our many projects we have been trying to spend as much time with these sweet little girls. 

Annie and in went to the library and got a few books. She found these little books and just could not stand to leave them behind so we came home with all 12 of them.

We met Nolan and Whitney at the botanical gardens. The weather was warm and perfect and we had fun visiting with them.

Ellie was mad scientist at school and did a density project. Matt helped her 😍

Matt went to Texas this past weekend for work and so we did a few things on our own. Sunday lunch we are outside at a bbq restaurant. The girls loved it out there and we all sat at our very own table.

We have spent lots of time outside in the afternoon. We have laid lots of Sid so we have spent lots of time running the sprinkler... Sunday the girls decided the sprinkler should multitask 😊

The heart leaves... As Ellie calls them have finally come out so they had to be like Adam and Eve and make their own clothes.

Annie had been drawing and coloring a lot lately. She has finally started making things that somewhat resemble people. The other day she drew me 🙂 she laughed while she drew my hair and after I saw the drawing I understood why 😌
