A Heated Summer Recap

In a nut shell, this is what our summer recap looked like:
  • Melissa & Michaela moved out into their new home.
  • Took girlfriends to Hawaii on a surprise trip!
  • Watched Melissa kiss a frog in attempts of a prince.
  • Charlie suffered his first dog bite and has overcome his fear of dogs! Helps to have gifts too.
  • Grandpa Doug's dog had puppies and Addi pet sat for many hours/days which allowed her to fall in love with puppies. Nope. Not going to happen.
  • Bought a $60 swimming pool. Killed the grass in the process of cooling off.
  • Spent endless hours splashing in the new pool.
  • Started our foster license. 
  • Considering ending the process after heart breaking decisions were made.
  • Charlie, after a dog bite and allergy attack, created a snorkel. Hilarious.
  • Went camping at Bridal Falls in the rain and thoroughly enjoyed ourselves.
  • Myriam had her second seizure.
  • Myriam was mellow for a few days that followed. Refreshing, but in the wrong way.
  • Addi had her last swimming lesson from Teacher Shannon.
  • Enjoyed many fresh blueberries from Uncle Bob's farm
  • Ate far too many calories from S'mores intake.
  • Made progress in the Windmill project.
  • Survived melting heat conditions with sweet watermelons and dips in lakes and pools.
  • Moved the older two kids downstairs to their "big kid" bedrooms. Adjustments still in place.
  • Went on many dinner dates with My Love and friends.
  • Had a garage sale at Cookie Grandma's.
  • Sold lots of junk on craigslist too.
  • Kids spent a week on the boat with Papa & Nana.
  • Mom got lots done when they were gone!
  • Killed most of my potted plants. My Green thumb forgot to make an appearance this summer. 
  • Took in local activities: The Fair, Farmer's Market, Parade's & Festival's, Lynde' 500 and more
  • Charlie attended and loved his basketball camp.
  • Kids had many sleepovers.
  • Participated in 2 road races. (3rd by the end of the month)
  • Enjoyed picnics, hikes and trips to local parks and beach areas
  • Created so many memories that will last a lifetime just being with the kids. 
And now can safely say, Mommy is ready for Fall!
