Erik spent three weeks of the summer with the army in June. It was a LONG three weeks! While he was gone, we tried to make lots of good summer memories. July came quickly and brought Erik home to us!
 |
| Summer homeschool! |
 |
| It was fun to set aside time each day to learn! I realized that I'm not a very good teacher, though, and having a toddler, too, makes it so so so so hard. I can't figure out how homeschool moms do it. |
 |
| Garden blessings |
 |
| We spent four nights a week at either soccer or baseball! Dinner was almost always ate on this blanket while we watched his brothers play. |
 |
| We got a great deal on a big blow up pool! |
 |
| We put the pool on our deck and it was a great place for the kids to play! |
 |
| After church one Sunday, we were running some errands and Maida saw this random rock structure on the side of a building. She yelled, 'It's Africa!!!" And ironically, the white and black circle is right on Zimbabwe! |
 |
| Our little baseball player! |
 |
| He got a the chance to play every position over the summer. His favorite was pitcher and 1st base. |
 |
| Yum! Fresh green beans! |
 |
| Someone had a timeout at the baseball field. |
 |
| I got stung by a bee for the first time EVER! |
 |
| It got really infected, so I had to go on an antibiotic. |
 |
| These three spend at least two hours on the trampoline a day, if not more! This particular night, they also had the squirt guns on the trampoline. Neighbors within a half mile radius had the privilege of hearing, "Ah! He squirted my private parts!" over and over and over. |
 |
| Family date night at Osaka! |
 |
| And a movie in the theater, too! |
 |
| Sunday afternoon, "Good Neighbor Parade," with church friends! |
 |
| Weed cleaning on the side of the house and other house projects galore! |
 |
| 5k training together. This was our after run picture. |
 |
| My little guy up to bat! |
 |
| A late baseball game = bedtime happened at the field. |
 |
| Erik played softball two nights a week all summer! We didn't get to go watch because most of his games conflicted with Skogen's games, but he liked to send us pictures of his attire! |
 |
| I love our house. |
 |
| Packing for a week of church camp = my least favorite summer activity to do! |
 |
| Happy birthday, Klaasen Burke!!!! |
 |
| Klaasen's birthday dinner at Hu Hot! |
 |
| Birthday s'mores! |
