First Day of School

Erik started first grade. On the first morning I woke him up and he said, "Thank you Mommy for waking me up....I can't WAIT to wear my uniform." And after the first day he said, "On Wed the 24th we have school pictures and we can wear whatever we want. But I still want to wear my uniform that day." I wonder when the novelty will wear off?

Kyle started K4. He loves going to school all day! He came home after the second day and called me "honey" all day long. "Honey, no." "Honey, we can do that tomorrow." "Honey, maybe later."

Ohio (post #2)

Our second part of the trip to Ohio was spent with the Rarey side of the family. My brother Chip got married! My pictures are pretty terrible, but I had to share them anyway. The cousins all had a great time together. Congrats to Chip and Meredith!

We took at trip to Ohio the first week of August. We tried to keep the boys busy. We went miniature golfing, visited a couple playgrounds, took a few hikes, & went bowling. But mostly it was fun to spend time with Gramma & Papa!

Beach and Pool season

We've spent lots of time at the swimming pool this summer. Greg is teaching Erik and his friend Preston how to swim. Kyle is also swimming underwater very well. He enjoys diving for rings at the bottom of the shallow end.

We have also had many opportunities to go the beach this summer as well. The waves have been rough this year. But it doesn't stop the boys from jumping in!

Cousins!

We had a busy week! Gramma Carolyn & Papa Rusty came and so did Rachel (10) and Cassie (7). The kids kept themselves entertained with legos, water balloons, swimming, beach, playgrounds, Geotrax, movies, and books. We can't wait to see them all again in August.
