Happy Birthday, Jadyn!

I'm sure that you will tell me tomorrow that you now have 364 days until you are a teenager!

Relaxing...

We have literally spent the week at home just relaxing. It's been extremely hot and leaving the air conditioning just doesn't seem very smart, especially with a wee little person.

I know the girls are having an amazing time at camp. I miss them, but really really wanted them to have this opportunity. Brennan is already chomping at the bit to go next year. I think the hardest part is that Jadyn's birthday is tomorrow and she won't be home to celebrate. I'm hoping the camp will do something for her to help her celebrate her big day.

Ryanne is showing more signs that she's ready to get rid of her diapers. She starts preschool in September and we'd like her to at least be partially trained. Due to her birthday I think she'll be the youngest one in her class. She'll be going Tues/Thurs mornings. She is so ready and so stinking excited to be a "big girl."

Camp Benson here they come!

Bags are all packed and the girls are ready to go! I'm nervous for both of them, but no without a shadow of a doubt that they are going to have an amazing time at camp. It'll be good for all of us, but we sure will miss them.



After check-in we got a guided tour to both of the girls cabins. Without it I think we would have gotten lost.

Taryn's bed is all set up and ready for her to dive-in tonight


One last quick cuddle before we leave.


And we're outta here! It' was about 117* with the heat index when we dropped them off. Thank goodness they have air conditioned cabins to sleep in. We couldn't wait to get back to the car and turn the a/c on full blast!

Cars 2 & Transformers 3

We told Brennan that once Cars 2 made it to the drive-in that we would go check it out. Last night was our night to go! As always the kids played on the playground equipment before the movies started and we all had a wonderful time. We are so lucky to have a drive-in close to us.

Summer Variety Show

The last 2 weeks the older 3 have been really busy. They've been working on a summer variety show that is doing songs and dances from a bunch of Disney movies. I drop them off at 1pm and then pick them up at 5pm.

Tonight was the actual performance and the entire cast did an amazing job!

I have better videos (that doesn't have my arm jerking around from a certain little boy) but they are too long and they didn't want to upload. =(

YIKES!

This was just 2 streets over.
Another couple of blocks over the road is blocked as well due to another tree.

Oops!

We've obviously been eating later than I realized.

Brennan: Mama, why are we eating dinner when the sun is still in the sky?

Bad Storms & Corn



We had a bad storm come through this morning.
From this viewpoint yesterday, you couldn't see the top of the out building. This morning you definitely can.

A Happy Birthday Swim Night




We enjoyed some pool time tonight once Kolin got home from work.
Happy Birthday to the best daddy and husband we could ask for!
