so i have been terrible this summer about taking pictures and keeping up with the blog, SOOO i am going to post some pretty terrible iPhone pics and try to do a quick recap to "catch up" on the blog. here we go...
after VBS in early june and our trip to north carolina the rest of the summer went a little somethin' like this...
olivia went to art camp and cheer camp with kingsley. she loved them both!!
o at art camp. terrible pic, i know.
(long story about why i don't have cheer camp pics, but it involves traffic and jack throwing up everywhere in the car!!! my sweet sis-in-law took pics for me, but i don't have those on my computer yet. :))
we spent fourth of july at the lake with the bowlins, but one of the highlights for the weekend was we all (blanchettes, bowlins, and fifers) met to see cars 2.
my dad and rara really wanted to see the movie with jack, so the only logical solution was to all go together. jack LOVED the movie and i think the rest of enjoyed it as well. it was a fun afternoon.
the other BIG news of the weekend was olivia trying to do the kneeboard and being super brave!! she is still working on it, but i am so proud that she keeps trying!!
we spent time with b and pop at their house and had a few bubble baths in their "jet tub."
we started updating our kitchen. that was a large part of my july. (more on that later) i spent lots of time looking at paint, tile, and granite.
i was able to use my creative side and make a few decorations for a special baby shower.
there were a few pedicures scattered in as well. olivia might love a pedicure as much as her mommy. :0) kk loves them too!
and of course we swam a ton! it seemed like the only thing to do to beat the heat and the kids LOVE it!!
so that about sums up the summer. it has been fun, hot, at times frustrating, but overall it been a good summer. we have been able to spend time with friends, have lazy days at home, time where the o and j play together or fight together, and special days filled with laughter and memories. yay for summer 2011! can't believe it is about to be over. :(
