It has been quite a crazy, busy summer!!! I seems like we're constantly on the go!! We have been to 4 VBS's this summer!! That has kept us on our toes, but it is so good for the kids. They have friends at all the area churches and it is so good for them to see that their friends go to church and love God, too!!
Lily started Cheerleading in June. She has practice 2 days a week! It's hard work, but she loves it! There was a cheer camp that was 2 FULL days a few weeks ago. It was VERY hot, and exhausting, but she learned alot, and had alot of fun!! As crazy as it has been this summer, I'm afraid it isn't going to slow down any when school starts. Lily will have dance and cheer, plus she is starting Kindergarten. I was a little worried about her taking on so much her first year of school, but she is so ahead of the game as far as school stuff goes, that I'm not really all that concerned about it. We will have something going almost every weeknight. Monday is dance. Tuesday and Thursday is Cheer, and Wednesday is church. Thankfully, none of these things are longer than an hour or so, so it really shouldn't be that bad!!
I have included some pictures of some of the things we have been up to this summer. My external drive that I keep most of my pictures on is not working properly right now, so I will have to post the older pictures some other time!!
We went to Rusty Wheels with Nana and Pa (Ken and Ginny) a few weeks ago. Avery was in Tractor and Train heaven. They had a ton of old tractors (that looked alot like trains). Then they had a little train that the kids could ride. It was so cute and they both had a blast!!!
My cutie pies!!!
This is a picture of Poppy Bobs (Ginny's Dad) Model A. The kids loved climbing in it!!
Pa (Ken) helping the kids get in!!!

Such a little sweetie!!!!
Yeah, we had to wait quite a while for them to get the train going!!!!!
Nana (Ginny) with Lily and Kendra!!!
Nana, Lily, Kendra, Zane, Avery, some kids I don't know and Aunt Cindy in the back!! All FINALLY riding the train!!!
Zane helping Avery with this sand digger!!!
We have also had a lot of fun swimming the pool!!! It has been a great summer for it!! REALLY REALLY HOT!!!!
Lily playing on the ladder, one of her favorite places in the pool.
Kendra swimming around, and having fun!!!
Avery LOVES the water, and he is fearless!!!
Zane helping lift Lily up to look over the side, though I'm not real sure why she wanted him to, cause she can do it herself!!!!
Kendra is so proud to have taken off her life jacket and be swimming without it!!! Such a cutie pie!!!!
Zane helping Avery swim!!
Four very cute, happy kids!!
We got the kids some new goggles and they had to show them off for the camera!!!!
Silly faces!!!
We had lots of fun (as usual) at the fourth. Ken and Ginny always have a big blow out with good food, friends, and fireworks!!!! The kids looked super cute (as usual!!)!!!!!
Lily found a robin's egg and was pointing it out to the others!! They were all in awe!!!
Avery was throwing rocks up the tree!! I have no idea why!!!
She's so beautiful!!!!
Lily loves to dress Avery up in her dress up clothes!! The thing is that Avery loves it too. I might be a little concerned about that if he wasn't ALL BOY!! I think that there is no reason to worry about it!!!! To be honest, he just LOVES his sister and wants to play with her.
I do plan on trying to keep this updated a little more often. I know I keep saying that, but I really do want to stay on top of it!!! I need to just keep it on my "to do" list, for every day!! You all might get tired of me!!!! Love ya!!!!!
This is the way the room looked before we started. It is the only room in the house that we hadn't done anything to, since we bought the house. Well, we did replace the carpet!!
So we painted her room this beautiful, cheery yellow!! We also went ahead and painted her ceiling (white) since it is the only ceiling we hadn't painted!!
We are all SOOO excited about her closet. I now dont know what to do with my wardrobe!!
Finally finished painting it!! Lily wanted to sleep down there Friday night, so we went ahead and moved a few pieced of furniture down there, so it would be a little more comfy!! She was so thrilled about sleeping in her new room. I thought she might get a little scared since she is downstairs by herself, but she isn't!!! Right now she is just SOOOO excited about it!!!!
First night in the new room!!! Can you tell she super excited!!!
What a little cutie pie!!!
Silly smile!!!
Finished product!!! We finally got it all done!!
Already looking cluttered!! She says she can't sleep if she doesn't have all her stuff on her bed!!
Still LOVING the closet!!!
