Summer fun

I finally uploaded a bunch of pictures from our various cameras (I've noticed now that we have smartphones we don't upload pics to the computer nearly as often, therefore I am blogging a whole lot less) and found a bunch of randoms . . .

S'mores night at our house!

Braden took round 2 of swimming lessons in July.  We got into the "habit" of getting donuts for breakfast and eating them in the park prior to his 9:00 lessons.  Then Addie and Elise played with I took B to the pool.

Learning to dive!

B passed level 3!  Dillon was his teacher.


Speaking of diving, little miss has been asking to go off the board!  So one evening when Daddy was able to join us at the pool we let her.  She was very excited to climb up the ladder, but once out on the board she was very hesitant.  Her little legs were shaking!  But - she did it!

We looooooove our afternoons at the pool. (You can find the kids and I there almost daily.) :)  Cousin Alex joined us one day and the kids loved playing with her.

Braden had another loose tooth that finally got super wiggly and was ready to come out. He requested that we take him to Aunt Amy again . . . but just like last time HE was actually the one to pull it out.

Last weekend my high school class reunited for our 20 year reunion (yes, we are old. . . but we decided we neither look nor feel that way!).  It was so fun to reconnect with everyone.  Here's the Friday night group at the Kalona Brewery . . .

 . . . and the Saturday night crowd at Anna's for Geyer's Pizza.

Elise is our outdoor girl - she loves to play outside!



We've spent a lot of time playing on the driveway this summer - riding bikes and bouncing balls.
