Summer Lovin

Love summer time.

Lazy mornings.
Long summer nights.
Little adventures.

This summer we tried to cram it all in...to the very last day (at the zoo).

23

Days until 4th grade.

Typing that makes me need to take deep breathes...really. deep. breathes.

Cuz that means...a whole lot of changes around these parts.

I'm about to give you all the mother load of blog post! And by mother load I mean, a lot of catching up to do!

Out of a Storybook

My aspiring little actress went to drama camp last week.

She nailed her role as Emily, the big sister.

So confident.

Bravo, Lu!

Her littlest fans. Briggs and Cole.

Today

Was a lot productive and we even managed to squeeze some pool time in.

I love hanging with this little guy and listening to his sister and her friends conversations, when they think I'm not listening.

Briggs has like 20 aunties. This kid is never alone, will never have to cry more than 3 mins before someone says, I got him Meghan.

UW Volleyball Camp!

"we don't coach boys and girls differently, tall or short people. we coach everyone the same"
- head uw vball coach, jim  mclaughlin

Ari started UW Volleyball camp last night.

And I think we found her sport! She talked about it until 10pm and told me she couldn't sleep because she was soooo excited. A very different response than her Spencer Howes Bball camp.

She went on and on about it and then was showing me her serve motion......killin me.

I love it! And lucky Ari...she gets Tui as one of her coaches!!!

summa summa summa time

that pretty much sums up the last couple days at our house...

but add another 9 year old that we've been watching and probably ten more scoops of ice cream/brownies/sugar cereal and I'd say that about covers it.

Yes, I just # hashtagged on my blog.

June Bug

I'm kind of torn on the turning of June!
Because:

1. June means time is going way to fast and Aug 23rd is coming....
2. But it also means SCHOOLS OUT! Summer is here!

Lots going on this month.

• 3 months
• Lulu Concert
• Lulu Play
• A wedding
• Father's Day!
• School's OUT
• Coaster Boy is 33!!

June, we welcome you! Please bring lots of sunshine and open air.

xoxo

Countdown

Here we go.

21 days until SCHOOLS OUT FOR SUMMER!

Adios Summer

It was real.

Camp Harconbla

6 - adults
1 - 8 year old
1 - (almost 2 year old)
1 - mastiff
3 - tents
1 - fireplace
15 - bags of chips
3 - hours of sleep

I'd do it again.

We crossed  camping off our summer list.

Zoo 2011

Notice, there isn't one animal in our photos.

I don't think we will head back to the zoo until 2015...

I love the zoo. Ari is over it, she's more into the info walls than the animals, and that is saying a lot coming from our little animal lover. She brought her twin to come along with her, maybe they are too cool for the zoo?

Cole, he just wanted to climb the rocks and run, run, run. 

We knocked that off our summer bucket list in a jiffy.

looking forward

To summer....for this very reason.

I heart you Coaster Boy. Skinny chicken legs and all.

9 days

Until 2nd grade.

Why?

Summer, we aren't done with you yet.

Lulu

This is your first official week of summer.

You are at camp this week...and tonight you have a sleep over with Nonnie.

Your summer is so jammed packed.

Things I hope we accomplish:

Camping, painting, smores in Nonnie's backyard, bike rides, jumping off the dock, reading, reading, reading, late night movies, ice cream and lots of it, paint your room, visit the zoo, write in your journal, go to wild waves, go to ocean shores!

I love you mucho.

Last Day of Summer Break

Happy Monday!
Hope the weekend was fabulous.

Today is our last official day of Summer Break. Arianna is at work with me....she is SOOO lucky!
Coaster Boy doesn't have practice today! AND it's supposed to be 80. What better way to end the summer?!?!?

We are really super excited for 1st grade tomorrow. EEEEEEEEEEk.

PS. No Cole yet....I was hoping he would make it way into the canal last night.
