In the Good Ol' Summer Time..........

Since I didn't want to blog each separate thing we did this summer, I thought I would just make one big entry to show you what we did do. We had a rough start to summer and a rough ending but the middle was great! So here's to summer :)

 

We found out that Christian loves pancakes....so we started most summer mornings with a pancake breakfast......YUMMY!

 

Julia and I went to see Peter Pan at the Jr. High in Alpine. It was a great show and she loved that Peter Pan and all the kids flew all around the stage!

 

 

 

We went to visit daddy at work and went out to  lunch with him.....the kids loved it.

 

I got a new bed spread for my room. Its a much more calmer/cooler color than the red I use to have....and Layne says he really liked it too!

 

 We got out of the heat by going to my sister Kristy's to play in the pool. It was cool and relaxing!

 

 We made up games. I bought nerf dart guns for the kids. Then we made rings worth points so they had a place to shoot the darts. Everyone got in on the action. Christian always wants to get out his "shoot gun" and play.

 

My mom brought back a souvenir shirt from her trip back to Michigan.....they say Lake Michigan, Unsalted.....Thanks Grandma Mott

 

 Christian was a big help this summer. He loved to water the flowers...he even helped at gma Cromwell's house too. Thanks Christian!

 

                                           We went to beach themed birthday parties......

And visited and played with cousins!



 

We spent time outside, hula hooping, playing ball, and playing with turtles.

We also enjoyed nature, saw a beautiful red moon, enjoyed sunsets and playing in the rain.

 

We had a camp out in gma/gpa Mott's backyard. The kids thought it was great. We roasted hot dogs and even made s'mores over the little charcoal grill. We watched a movie to calm everyone down and then hit the hay!

 

We traveled and explored new places.........

We goofed around and had a lot of fun and by the end of summer we were utterly.....................

 

 EXHAUSTED! Thanks summer, we will miss you!
