Grant reading through his program!

I am so happy with how today turned out!  I am So grateful for the love and support Grant received from family and friends today as they came and supported him in this decision.

Grant is an amazing kid and has set an example to those around him by the step he made today!  I am so proud of him and that he took the time to think and pray about this decision before committing to it.

More from our list....

This summer seems a bit more crazy, but isn't any less fun!

We are continuing to cross things off of our list and loving it!!!

Pajama Day!

This is always a family favorite!  Who doesn't love just lounging in their jammies!!

We finished a puzzle......

The kids all got into this and it was fun!

I love puzzles and I love that my kids do too!

We hung out as a family and did our best at working on this crazy 3D puzzle!!

Getting closer......

And we finished.....

Except there are 6 stinkin' pieces missing!  That is so frustrating to me!!!!!

I've decided that we need to get another puzzle and do this again!

Star Wars Marathon Day brought on a Girls Day with Delaney!

The boys had a blast though and got through 5 out of 6 of the movies!

Delaney and I started the day with swimming with Kristin, Lorey and Sierra (and of course Konner joined us)

Then we went for pedicures!

Delaney picked the colors for her and my toes!

 

Look close....

She is SLEEPING while getting her toes painted!!  I think she was just a bit relaxed :)

 

Sierra and Delaney drying their fingers!

Our matching toes!

We made it out to Bass Pro Shops!

I love how much our kids love going here!

Testing out some of the 'toys'

They had fun!

 

Watching the fish tank, this sting ray came and swam up the glass a couple of times!

 

And just our luck we timed it right and got to watch them feed the sting rays!  That was cool to watch!!!

A couple more items knocked off our list!

We are having a blast!!!

Swimming with Cousins!

What do you do in 100+ degrees weather with cousins?

You go swimming!!

Dana and her family are in town and the kids are enjoying the extra time with cousins!  

The pool is always a nice to place to hang out in this hot, yucky weather!!

Haden enjoys jumping in!

Grant enjoying some relaxing swim time!

This kid has turned into a fish!

Kelly and Delaney enjoying time together!

These little girls are a lot alike from their imaginations to being the only little girls in their families!

 

Kahle is loving his ride!

He had hated the water for a little while, but has gotten back to loving it and being all over the water!

 

1 Week Down....

We've gotten some things done on our Bucket List, and it's been fun!!

We stopped by the Purple Penguin for THE best snow cones we have ever had!  They were seriously super yummy!!!

 

Everyone picked their flavors and everyone loved what they got!!

 

Frozen Hot Chocolate made our list again, and once again it was delicious!

I think they like it :)

Ryan got to join us for this, and he said he liked them too!

Playing around at Targets Dollar Spot!  Everyone got to pick out stuff, and it was funny to watch them each make decisions and change their minds a million times :)

We ended up picking up some seeds to plant while we were there, and we are all excited to see these grow!

Sonic Happy Hour for slushies was a huge hit!!!

 

And made everyone smile :)

I am focusing more time this summer on being together as a family!

We are looking forward to marking more things off of our list as well :)
