Date Night

For the first time in many months, Greg and I had a date night!  We went to dinner, a movie (for the 1st time in 10 years) and the highlight of the night...grocery shopping sans kids!  It's amazing how quickly you can shop when you're by yourself!!



Wheels and Weeds

It's become a daily activity ~ riding bikes and scooters in the garage! 

 one word ~ mischevious

after riding bikes, they decided to tend to the yard and pick weeds! 



Pool Park

I joined Reagan on her field trip to a local pool.  We had a great "girls day", but decided that we needed to bring daddy and Cooper next time!

 Reagan got brave and went off the diving board in the 15ft water

Last Lesson

Tonight, the kids had their last swim lesson of the season.  Reagan has really transformed into a swimmer and Cooper has made great strides.  Hopefully, they will be able to take more lessons in the fall/winter so they won't forget everything they've learned!

 she wouldn't put her face in the water at the beginning of the summer

 Cooper can put his face in the water too!

Backpack, Backpack

It's almost time for school to start again ~ hard to believe Reagan will be in the first grade!  We've started shopping for school little by little; our first purchase for the year is a new backpack.  Reagan had originally wanted a pink and black one, then changed to a purple with pink polka dots, but ulitmately decided on this one!  I think she made a very good choice.

Ride On!

It's way too hot to play outside, so we make good use of the garage and let Reagan and Cooper get a little exercise in there.  More riding of bikes and scooters tonight!



The boy needs a bike of his own!
