Whoever once said that the days may be long but the years are short, was not kidding! Time is flying by! We've had so many fun days this summer that we'd like summer to just continue all year long but we know it can't. So we packed in what we could before school started and had it continue throughout the whole month! First up, First Friday on the square. Even after driving back all day from MN it didn't stop us from attending!
Ashley loves going to the gym with Mommy on Saturday mornings. Mommy likes having her there too - the time goes way faster with this crazy one!
Bubble gloves!
Why are kids sleeping pics so cute?!?! Love how he cuddles up to 'Bear' with SkipIt in his hand!
Oh you thought Ashley was all smiles all the time? HA!!! Fussy pants wasn't getting her way in having more popcorn!
Ashley's favorite food besides soup? Romaine lettuce with ranch!
Nathan (from Sporting soccer) and his brother Mason's birthday party was a fun time!
Socks to bed?!?!?
Trevor received a bubble making kit a while back and we decided the day before school started would be a good time to break it out and see what could be made. Well, they devised an apparatus similar to what 'The Bubble Guy' in San Diego uses and guess what?!?! After about an hour of trying and trying - IT FINALLY WORKED!!!!!!! We were ecstatic!!!!!!
After school and weekends involve a lot of play dates. Ashley requests them often! Trevor just goes out to find his friends! Thankful for wonderful families right around us with kids that are our kids ages!
Friends' birthday parties fill our time too!
Puzzles with Daddy! One of her favorite activities!
Oh Toby, always right by the oven any time it is on. Such a heat seeker!
Can't wait for football!!! Ashley and the Vikings dog practicing cheer moves!
Love Trevor's teachers!!
One of Ashley's first school projects was to make the cutout person look like her. She picked the hair color (brown with blonde/yellow lines), a bow in the hair, a skirt with pockets and bracelets on her arm. She is a crafty one!
Trevor's friend Kellan spent the night one weekend! Mini Murph pizzas for the win!
Back to the gym! Ashley loves to do the workouts. She even pulled the same weight the adults did! So Bruce called out the people working out, letting them know that a 5 year old was pulling the same weight and told them to step it up. What does Ashley do? Adds a weight and pulls away! Strong, confident girl right there!
Because Ashley made the dance competition team and not wanting to overload activities we decided to take a break from cheer for this year and instead hired a tumble/cheer instructor to come to the house to give a private lesson once a week. So far it's working great! And it's so nice to not have to leave for another activity! Right now Ashley's dance and Trevor's hockey are both Monday and Thursday nights so we divide and conquer and have 3 nights home!
Trevor the engineer. Always helping his friends get home :) Although that day Jack C from his class the past 2 years rode the bus home with Trevor for a play date. So really it was just bringing Kellan home.
The Pinnacle 3rd grade boy crew at our house after school one day. Makes our heart happy that T has boy buddies so close!
ZZZzzzz!
On the Wednesday before Labor Day weekend we headed to Dave and Buster's for family game night. The kids and Mommy would be heading to MN for a quick trip - primarily for Mommy to see Taylor Swift with her cousins and sister-in-law Annie. When Katie asked Mommy back at Christmas we thought it would be fun to go for a long weekend and go to the State Fair and stuff but then Daddy ended up having to work that weekend but the kids and Mommy still went (pics to come in September posts). So fun family night was in order!!!
