What else do you do on 7/11, go to 7/11 for a free slurpee…..

Justin’s other top front tooth fell out (7/15/14). It is very exciting as he is a vampire now. He looks adorable. The tooth fairy brought him some glittery money.

Yesterday we ended up at Tewinkle Park with some friends. The kids had fun but it was a little hot and we had some hungry kids. I did bring my camera though and captured a few cute pics:

It was a great park to take pictures and I can’t believe how big my babies are! The kids went swimming for hours then Nikki had her friend Ava sleepover. I think the girls went to bed around 11:00 and were up bright and early around 6:00. Oh well the fun of summer…….

Over Bret’s birthday we had a little camping theme. We planned a little scavenger hunt, slept in the tent (dad slept in the house and snuck into the tent early in the morning). It was his birthday so he got to sleep in the house plus he had to do some work. We ate smores and just had fun together.

Since the tent was set up the kiddos had their friends Matthew, Mason, and Mia over for a sleepover. They all slept in the tent, totally cute. They were up late but so cute to see them together. We got some great laughs at them playing Twister.

Yeah it is finally summer. School got out so late this year. I can’t believe the kids will be third graders. Both had such great years, did well in school, had great teachers, made great friends, etc.

From the pics one kid is happy for summer and the other is not. Nikki loves school so much. We have had 2 days of summer break and she hasn’t mentioned missing school yet…

Kiddos had crazy sock and sun glass day at school. It was cute but there was not a lot of participation. Justin didn’t want to wear sun glasses but we found him some bright socks.

Today Nikki got to go on a trail horse back ride to celebrate summer. She went with her friend, Grace. Nikki was so nervous but ended up having a wonderful time. Here are some pics from the day (the 1st pic shows how nervous Nikki was):

I was babysitting Shelby so she came with us. Justin decided not to do the horse back riding instead he is going to do video game thing. So him and I took Shelby on the train while Nikki rode the horse.

Justin’s bowling league just ended for the summer. Finally I remembered to bring my camera. Justin got a medal at the end. There was also a little pizza party at the end.
