LAZY DAYS OF SUMMER

Who ever said that summer was lazy and boring, not me! Seems like it is never ending at our house, from swim meets to the pool, night games, jeep rides and just playing with friends and cousins. Our days of summer have been full and fun. The kids in our neighborhood have discovered night games and the best one of all kick the can, you can't tell me that the best sound on a warm dark night is not the sound of a tin can being kicked and kids laughing and screaming. Love summer and our great friends.

Another favorite of mine is making cookies and cake, now the best part of that is licking the beaters when you are done. Kenzie and Eli discovered that just the other day and I was loving it to death!!

Playing catch in the backyard has become a new found fun for Riley and Coy, they have enjoyed the shade and the cooler nights to practice their throws, even if a few tend to get away and roll down the street.

By the end of the day we are just beat, just take a look at Eli on the couch. Nothing on but his diaper, don't you wish we could all do that and be able to pull it off as cute.

WE HAVE A FISH ON OUR HANDS!!

We have a fish on our hands and no it doesn't live in a bowl, it sleeps in my basement and her name is KENZIE!!

Kenzie has always loved to swim, even from when she was a baby. She would jump in the water with out a care in the world. My Mom told me last year that I need to get Kenzie on a swim team, so I heeded her advice and signed her up at our gym. She first started out in the winter do swim a couple days a week, and Coy and I still had not witnessed her swim the length of the pool. So the team had a mock swim meet, and to our amazement she swam the length of the pool and was pretty good.

So summer swim team rolls around and her coaches keep telling us that she is really good, so her first "real" swim meet comes up and low and behold she takes first and second in all her heats!!

We are so proud of Kenzie and are truly amazed at her swimming talent, watch out Michael Phelps.
