Dog Days!

With temperature has being over 100, we've spent a lot of time at the pool lately! Both kids have become great swimmers! Riley is now swimming the length of the pool and she has decided to join the swim team next year! (if next summer is this hot, Eric and I are going to be miserable at the meets!!) Kyle is officially swimming - last week he rescued a toy dinosaur, tread water to give the toy to a friend, and then swam back to the wall. The first time he lifted his head for a breath and swam a substantial distance, he exclaimed, "Am I FIVE now??!!" As it turns out, only 5 year olds can swim on their own!

We had a great visit with the Grinnells last week as well - however I remembered to bring my camera down stairs but forgot to take an pix! Drew and Kyle got along great and Sam is such a cutie!!

The kids have loved growing our 1st garden ever and can get enough of our fresh cucumbers!! (they still won't eat the squash or tomatoes but we have hope!) The corn turned our pretty good too and are cantaloupe are coming along nicely!

Riley and Kyle also enjoyed a great week of Backyard Bible Camp (Kids Give Back)! I'm going to attempt to upload a video:-) We have tons of beach pix to come soon!!
