Having fun

The picture speaks for itself

Our "sassy" new do's

This is right after Em's haircut.....so cute!The next morning....

We both got haircuts this week....something new and different for the upcoming school year.

Remodel

I was trying anything to get the paper and glue up. I'm so glad that we are finished with that part of the remodel.

After the wood was gone, before we started working on the paper.

As I was looking through pictures, I almost forgot the hardest thing we did this summer. We, mostly Greg, ripped up the hardwood floors and the linoleum, in the kitchen and laundry room. Then we had to scrape up the paper and glue that was stuck to the cement. It was hard work and took lots of time. Now we must decide what color of tile we want and wait on help to install it.

Summer Update

As you can see, we have been very busy this summer. Here are some things are have done, accomplished, or will be doing for the rest of the summer.

1. Cole is potty trained...yea!!!
2. We have done a lot of swimming, hence Cole (not even 3 years old) is swimming and going to the bottom of the pool....awesome!!
3. We went to Schlitterbahn as a family and had a blast. Greg's mom and sister went with us and we all had a great time.
4. I have actually cleaned out some closets and rooms. It feels great, but I still need to do more before the summer is over.
5. Emily has moved herself into the front room.
6. Grant lost two teeth.
7. Emily just got home last night from the 6th grade church trip and will leave in a week to attend her last pre-teen camp, ever! :(
8. Alyssa is in a wedding in a couple of weeks in Dallas and has a very pretty dress.

That has been and will be our summer in a nut shell. I can not believe it has gone by sooo fast. I still have way too much stuff to do.

Fishing

Look at Cole's face. He was priceless last night. He caught a "Cole" size fish. By the end of the night he did actually touch a fish... First time fishing!!!

Grant was not far behind!! Good job Grant!!

Alyssa caught the first fish! Way to go Alyssa!!

Cole waiting for Daddy to put a hook and float on his new Lightening McQueen fishing pole.

The crew waiting for the fish to bite....who will be the next one to catch a fish?

Monkey see....monkey do....

"Look Mommy, we're getting wet!"

We were watering the yard the other night and this is what I came out and found....Cole doing exactly what Grant was doing...if Grant would move closer, so would Cole....it was sooo much fun watching them play :)
