Summer Update

Now that summer is almost over here (3 weeks until school starts) I guess I should update a little of what we have done this summer.

Charlie finished up baseball mid June. His team came in 2nd in the playoffs and we was selected to play on the Optimist all star team. We are so proud of what a good sport he is.


(Charlie & Astro Coach Scott)

The day after the all star game we headed to Wisconsin to visit John's parents for 10 days. It was a great visit. The kids loved spending time with Nan & Pop and Uncle Brett. They fished and then fished some more - needless to say Charlie was in heaven the whole visit. The last day we went to the Mall of America and once there I took the girls to the American Girl Store for a Mommy Daughter lunch. (I have about a million pictures but I just realized they are on John's Computer all i have on our computer is the last day! Will upload some of the rest soon)














We celebrated the 4th of July here at home in our favorite way! We got up and went to the parade in our community, then we came home played and my parents came over for a bbq, followed by swimming at the neighbors, fireworks in the street, sitting on the golf course watching fireworks over the lake followed by lots more fireworks in the street.








At the dinner & Auction I Co-Chaired last spring a group of mom's bought a mommy & daughter tea hosted by the school secretary and the principal. It was over the top and such a fun day. We played a game - how well do you know your mom/daughter and I got all of the question right about Annie! She did the same for me!









Emily has starting talking all the time, a lot of it gibberish but sometimes she does make sense. right now she is like the family guy commercial on tv "mom mom mom mom mom mom mom mom mom mom" one day I said what she said "Pop" for Popsicle - her new favorite thing!



As for the rest we have had a great time at home just having fun and enjoying summer. There have been lots of playdates, sleepovers, and days at the lake.
