Finishing Up a Busy Summer

I have been really lax on keeping up on the blog....I am hoping to remedy that since school is starting and life is (hopefully) slowing down a bit. We have had a great, very busy summer. We didn't get back to Leesburg as much as we did last summer, but we were able to make it last week for a long visit. We finally had the opportunity to take advantage of Jeff & Christy's new pool...such fun! We celebrated Presley's birthday and surprised my mom for her 60th. We got to catch up with family, hold baby piggies, play in the fields, but somehow there is still never enough time to catch up with everyone or do all that you want! Seems that as the boys get older, conversations will be easier and I can actually sit and chat instead of chase!

A few weeks ago we took the boys to a Cubs game. The fun thing about Sundays at the ball park is that you can get a wrist band if you have kiddos and they get the opportunity to run the bases after the game is over!

And they're off!

 Here's Dane between 2nd & 3rd...

And Kale between 2nd & 3rd, kind of lost in the kid shuffle...

Here's a video clip:

Next up...our trip to Leesburg. We had the opportunity to spend some time at the lake with Grandpa and Pam. The boys got to go tubing for the first time! Dane loved it, Kale lasted about 5 minutes!

Cameron with Kale & Dane, Andon & Presley on the other side.

 Kale opted out pretty quickly!

Bouncing along in the tube!

We celebrated Presley's birthday....

 We got to hold baby piggies, thanks to Aunt Kay!

And we swam!

A lot!

It's amazing how fearless the boys became in 2 short days! They've always loved the water, but usually they wanted someone to catch them if they were going to jump in. Not anymore!

No fear!

We've had an amazing summer...I am sorry to see it coming to an end, but we have a lot to look forward to this fall! We will soon be heading to Disney World with Jeff, Christy and Barrett! And I will actually be in Florida 3 times in a month...our Disney trip, celebrating Cameron's cousin's engagement and her mom's 60th birthday and also to attend a wedding!
