Summer Fun- Part One

You may have noticed a lack in my posting over the summer! These 4 kiddos and keeping them anxiously engaged this summer preoccupied most of my time. But now that school is back in session and I'm down to one during the day, you should hopefully hear a little more from me!

One of our favorite activities this summer was attending all the fun events at our tiny little library. The kids were able to meet Ronald McDonald, see animals from the zoo, and learn how to make pizzas all this summer at our local library.

Our neighbors and good friends, the Deggingers, moved to Alabama this summer. We have been taking care of their pool since they moved and have had lots of fun this summer swimming. It's been fun to see how much my kids swimming abilities have improved this summer.


I implemented Julie Mills' kids list this summer including chores and fun things. Liz was my multi-tasker! Here you see her playing Suduko and hula hooping for exercise all at the same time. What a woman!


Then there were the 3 birthdays blogged about below. Devan had a fun water party! He was so excited to have all his friends together. I was pretty happy about all the Lego toys he received as well.

We were also able to attend so many wonderful baptisms this summer. Danielle Westra, Donna Capman's daughter, was baptized in June. We enjoyed attending both her baptism and the celebration at Donna's. We were so happy for her.

Once I download the rest of our summer pictures, I'll post some more!
