Swimming with Friends -- always a highlight of the summer. Joshua always delighted in being as loud as possible while jumping off the board!
So much fun to see their confidence grow!
There she goes!
Kayla and her friend having a playdate -- with having a neighborhood full of boys, Kayla doesn't have much "girl" time!
Well . . . this was the first picking of cucumbers and zucchini from our garden . . . not sure what I got myself into!
My first try at making dill pickles . . . I guess we'll tell in a few months if they turned out ok or not!
Fourth of July . . . I can't believe this is my only pic involving fire works. Let's just say that our oldest is destined to be a full-fledged PYRO. Seriously.
Our neighborhood had a Fourth of July bike parade . . . Kayla was all smiles now next to our neighbor boy . . . but mid-way through the parade route (with tons of kids behind her) she decided she wanted to ditch the parade . . . it was interesting!
Since we decided at the last minute to do this, our decorations were kept at a minimum!
The best for Tyler? Seeing a fire truck -- he is definitely into fire trucks/sirens right now!
Oh yes, and a Happy 4th of July toast starting everything off!
Checking out the new Discovery Center in Topeka -- great place, just hard to keep track of 3 kids, different ages and interests :)
Loved hanging out in the construction room!
Tyler (yes, he's a "lefty") and Kayla doing some painting . . .
Enjoying the pool we "borrowed" from some friends for the summer -- it has been great!
The first round of homemade ice cream with the NEW ice cream maker -- glad to see Tyler was supervising the whole thing.
