July 20 Photo Update

Summer has continued to fly by and we are down to 13 days until school starts. Our schedule is jam packed until then and after then, so my updates will probably be sporadic here! Sorry!

Here are pics from the past week or so:

Last Friday the boys enjoyed having batting practice over at Grant's house. This was the beginning of a long weekend of baseball.

We spent Friday night, all day Saturday, and until past noon on Sunday at Eagle Creek Little League park playing ball. We enjoyed every hot minute out there :-) the picture above was our setup for Saturday. We enjoyed the shade tents!

Avery took a really fast, but wild pitch to the back. He and Spencer had matching battle scars after that game:

This is how the other kids stayed busy during the long day Saturday:

And here are a few pictures of the kids playing and of the 8u and 9u teams:

This is what Nolan and Chaille enjoyed doing at baseball: climbing poles.

The long weekend wore her out:

Sunday night we went to Montana Mikes. Nolan told the waitress that he wanted a dinner that would come with a "flag" in it. She promised him that whatever he wanted would come with a flag. So, he ordered steak bites. He was DELIGHTED when she brought his order with a flag on each bite!

Chaille dressed herself one morning. She wore her brothers boxers with shorty shorts:

Nolan had his Kindergarten shots this week. I've never seen a kid so excited to have shots! He was ready. He can't wait to go to school ALL day. He is most looking forward to being there long enough to have lunch at school. So, since he didn't even cry after his four shots, we went and purchased his lunch box after.

We spent Tuesday-Friday this week with Trisha and her kids. We had a lot of fun and the kids all got along great. I didn't take many pictures while we were together, but we did take some of the kids painting with our homemade sidewalk paint:

The neighbor gave us a play set for the backyard:

We picked up football equipment today. Avery and Silas are Florida Gators this season, and Nolan is a Pittsburg Steeler!

 And as I type, the kids are enjoying movie night in the bonus room. Steve is working on painting in here too, because we are going to move Avery and Silas in here where they aren't so crammed. Their room is just too small. We will use their room as a den or an office. They will have the biggest bedroom ever! Haha

Photo update

I'm going to catch up here with pictures from my phone. We have been busy, so I won't dare try to tell all. Here's some of it:

Avery at the Indians game.

I love this man so much. This was at the farm, where we love life at a slower pace. We were on the tree swing. :)

Nolan and a bunny from the nest in our yard.

Drive in movies on July 3rd.

4th of July playground trip!

5th of July, trying out the new kayak at the park.

July 6th, walking to watch fireworks!

July 8th, doubleheader baseball. Nolan climbed the fence and made himself at home.

Nap time!

The kids' cousin, Hannah has been staying with us this week. Today we went to the pool and Hannah was excited to be tall enough to go down the slide on her own. She must have went down 30 times! So much fun being BIG! :)
