We are continuing to have a wonderful summer of fun! We stay pretty busy but also stay inside a lot. So every single toy has been touched this summer. A favorite right now is the mega blocks because Ashley and Trevor can play with them together! Trevor enjoys making robots...and gets really sad when Ashley knocks them down or they just fall down on their own!
Ashley definitely loves getting her hair done and having her picture taken. We had just talked with Uncle Jim on the phone and Mommy said should we send him a picture. Ashley nodded her head and gave a big ole' cheese to the camera. She loves her Uncles!
We attended a Frozen party at Claire's house and boy was that a hit. The funny thing is that when it came time for pictures the little ones and the boys couldn't be found...but the girls...well they were all glued to Anna and Elsa!
Gracie (who wore Ashley's old Cinderella outfit!) and Ashley much preferred to just play in one of the play rooms!
Our friends Sharon, Connor and Kennedy got back from their 3 week summer trip (!!) so we of course had to have a play date right away. We went to AZ Air Time and had a blast. Ashley went everywhere the big kids did!
One day Trevor requested that we make a gingerbread man and fortunately we had all of the ingredients. Ashley got in on the fun too. Probably the two most decorated gingerbread men you have ever seen! They like sprinkles and other toppings!
Trevor had one of his first playdates where the Mommy doesn't come too and it went really well. A few little tiffs on Trevor's part but Jack is pretty easy going. He turned 6 in June and will be going to Kindergarten soon! We made cookies, jumped on the trampoline, played playdough and played a really long time building Legos in Trevor's room. We'd say it was a success!
We also are finishing up swimming lessons. When he finishes 8/14 he will have had 8 weeks of lessons going every day Monday through Thursday. He really improved a ton having lessons so consistently. He ended up having 6 weeks of private lessons (part by plan, part because the other person didn't show up) and 2 weeks of group lessons. He definitely got more out of the private lesson and will see if it will work to do that again next summer with Miss Emily because Trevor's goal is to be on the Fireside swim team! He should be able to! He has a great dive, front stroke with side breathing and back stroke. We are so glad to not have to be so worried about having him in the water!
