Summer is Flying By!

Wow! I have not blogged in forever and I wanted to say hello to everyone! I have not forgot about this blog but I have been so busy this summer I have not had enough time to blog about all the fun things we have done! Besides our normal summer life in Bemidji we have of course been to my parents cabin multiple times since our official return to MN this spring. The kids love the cabin and just never want to leave once we have arrived! I have two little fish for children and they can't stay out of the lake! Maverik also loves to jump off the dock and swimming platform! Rowynn likes to follow Maverik and Bodie around the cabin copying whatever they decide to do!

We put in a new hardwood floor this summer in our living room off the kitchen, well Andrew put it in I was the supervisor! It turned out amazing! What else? Well Andrew had a birthday and the kids loved celebrating the fourth at the lake. My parents have been finishing a few projects to the big build at the lake cabin and Andrew has been helping with that! We also celebrated 5 years of marriage this July!

Maverik is unfortunately to young for t-ball and soccer here in Bemidji so we signed him up for Summer Preschool......sounds mean but he loves it! It is just 2 weeks out of every month and each 2 week sessions focuses on a different theme! The first was Farm/Barnyard Animals and the session we are currently in is Ocean Life! Maverik loves his friends and his routine of learning and playtime.......We hope to sign up for swimming lessons in August again if time permits.....it not then we will just hit them up this fall. Summer is for playing outside and having fun when the kids are this little!

Rowynn is saying a lot of words but her favorite is NO! She says puppy, baby, Mama, Dada, Papa, BaBa (brother), This and lots of point and expressing.......and a few other words thrown in mix! Its something new everyday!

I will try to be more frequent with a blog post, sorry for the brief synopsis!......Here are just a few pictures!

Pool Time, we can't keep them out!

Our kids love any form of water especially the pool! They were really into the pool this time, especially Maverik! He loves to swim all around the pool and has a blast. He loves the hot tub and walking along the edge, usually when its off! Leo the puppy always seems to get invited in when we are having a swim in the pool!


Rowynn wearing Maverik's sunglasses....she thinks she is really something!



 The whole gang....Rowynn is always lifting her shirt up....I don't know why she does this! I am hoping she grows out of it soon, LOL!




Even the neighbor dog was over......Cali!
Rowynn likes to touch her face and laugh, its her latest expression!




 Rowynn loves to get up on the top step, just take a look:



Just chill on her top step.....adorable!


 Maverik loves his squirt gun he found in Gabrielle's toys! He thinks he is really something!



 Showing everyone how it works!

Saturday Sunshine and Bare Naked Beach!

Since we traveled directly from the chilly weather of MN......the kids have been swimming everyday and the whole family went to the Ocean on Saturday in Galveston! It was a blast.....Maverik LOVED jumping over the waves as they came in swimming and floating on an inter tube.....He actually LOVES the ocean and would love to live close someday.....I believe he is a California Surfer at heart due to his two years of living in the California sun, sand and heat.....he loves HOT WEATHER and water!

Andrew built Rowynn and Maverik a sandcastle....it was so much fun! Rowynn loved the water and sand! Everyone had a great time and even Leo the puppy made the trip. We also had a flashing incident....Maverik wanted to be naked at the end.....everyone had a good chuckle.....here are some great pictures of the day!

Maverik took this picture, he is getting pretty good! A budding photographer!
