Kick Ball and Sprinklers

Dylan got to play kickball this last summer. Our good friend Justin was the coach of his sons team and had extra room for Dylan. I will say it wasn't his favorite but he could kick the ball pretty good and got around the bases a few times during the season. It was good for him to get out and try a field sport. Thanks Justin for being a fantastic coach and Max for teaching Dylan the "ready to field the ball" stance :-)

We don't have a fantastic backyard here but we do have some grass and a tree with a rope tied to it. The following video is long and will probably only be appreciated by Grandparents but I thought why not post some summer sprinkler fun! Ignore the Mom'izums please ;-)

Palmyra Pagent

We decided last minute to jump in the car and go see the Palmyra Pageant, neither Wes nor I had seen it before so we buzzed over to Palmyra. It's about 3 hours from us so and we were excited to take the kids for some culture. We sat in the back on a blanket, sprayed ourselves down with bug spray and spread out the snacks. The kids loved it and Wes and I also though it was pretty cool. During the pageant towards the end Reagan had to go to the bathroom so I took her the short hike up to the flushing potties. I didn't realize that we were so close to the end of the pageant and while we were in the bathroom we heard all the thundering and lightning sounds and the earth quakes from Christ's Death, we started to hustle and then the beginning of His appearance to the people in America and we were scrambling to get out of the bathroom! Reagan started panicking saying "Mom we are missing it! Jesus is coming to American and we are missing it!" She was next to tears and I felt pretty bad, I kept thinking good thing it was only a show otherwise I would have really let her down! We ran out of the restroom in time to see the depiction of the Savior in America and the remnants from the floods and earthquakes. The lesson here was, know how long the show is and make sure you don't miss the important stuff for a potty break.

It was a really nice weekend even missing a bit of the show.

We LOVE Summertime!!!

Schools Out for Summer!!! I don't know who was more excited me or the Kids!

Happy Fathers Day Daddy! You're the BEST!

We had a Really Great 4th of July with Awesome Friends!

We really should have brought our Suits

So every other time Grandma Ewing has been out here it's been frozen, snowy, windy, icy and down right cold! So the kids and I were SUPER excited to take her to our beach, and our walking trails and show her why we love Lake Erie. I thought we were just going to have a picnic and throw rocks the first day out but ....... you can imagine how wrong I was with 3 kids a lake, a sandy beach and a BIG hole to fill up with water. I mean this stuff is important, no sacrifice to great to get that hold filled fast!

The next day Jack and I took her back to Presque Isle again to do some walking, see the bay and enjoy all the green trees. We brought Wally along and were surprised that he didn't scare off the family of geese we could practically reach out and touch! The flagship Niagara was out too so that was fun to see. Glad you could come enjoy a warm season this year Grandma!

Goodbye KindeeeeGoten

Dylan had his big end of the year Kindergarten Field trip to the Zoo! I got to go and help out walking him and a couple of friends around in our group. It was so fun to see him having a great time with his friends and his class. I can't believe he's finishing Kindergarten, WOW that went too fast for me! Way to go Bubba!
