Summertime...Summertime...

Sum...Sum...Summertime!

My posts have been fewer and farther between...but it's only because we are enjoying Summer Break!  We are loving not having an agenda, going to bed later, and sleeping in just as late...usually around 8:30 or 9am!  Except last Friday morning...as Alex made sure to absolutely not miss Justin Bieber on the Today show concert series! Ha!  {I admit...I like him too!  He's a cute kid and his music is fun to listen to!} 
Later Friday evening we went to the movies to see Marmaduke.  It was a cute movie...Emily thinks any movie where a cat talks is great!  And it's not a good time if you don't eat tons of buttery, salty popcorn until you're sick to your stomach!  {so delicious...I love eating movie popcorn...my thighs do not!}
So...once again...here is what we've been up to lately...

{more cannonballs!}

{creating a slip 'n slide and splash zone with the rafts...no wonder they're always deflated!}

{getting Summer haircuts... Buzz Alex Lightyear}

{enjoying slushies...}

{...lots and lots of swimming!}

Emily also finished her last baseball game on Saturday {she has two more, but we will miss them because of her ballet recital next weekend and vacation coming up} and she did great!  She made two hits and made it home both times!  Way to go slugger!

We're so happy when Grandma and Grandpa can come cheer Alex and Emily on too!  We appreciate them taking time to support them...we're so lucky!

{next up at bat...}

{Run!}

She had a really good time playing this year...worked hard...tried her best...

...and made some good friends too!

Alex will finish up his games this week {although he's missed three because of rain...we still have those to make up} and Emily is already asking when she can start gymnastics again...she surely did not get the memo that we're trying to slow down!  Where does she keep all that energy in that tiny body?

I hope you're all enjoying these Summer days too...and they continue to be fun and relaxing...but ask me how we're doing in a few weeks...and the story could change!  Ha!
