I am having a hard time understanding how this summer is flying by so fast! We've been having a fast and furious time! On the one hand, I'll be happy to have the kids back in school and be on a regular routine again when school starts. But on the other hand, I'm trying to soak in every last bit of the summer sun and laid-back schedule. Here are some miscellanous pics from our summer so far.
 |
| First WAC of the summer. |
 |
| The annual pool jump photo, this time at the new Courtright pool! |
 |
| Date night selfie! |
 |
| Our date nights are FAR too few these days but we sure love 'em! |
 |
| This pic isn't really from summer, but I wanted to make sure I shared Kaitlynn's official soccer photo. She had such a fun spring season of soccer! |
 |
| And here's the team photo. We ended up winning the spring championship, woohoo! |
 |
| Kaitlynn's outfit of the summer. If you run into us out and about, chances are she is wearing this! |
 |
| We were all very sad when Connor's friends Brady and Tanner lost their grandpa suddenly this summer. This card he made for them touched me so much. |
 |
| The Aasmyrs hosted another WAC day for the 4th of July. |
 |
| Happy 4th! |
 |
| Our little firecracker! |
 |
| Jeff is no stranger to pooltime relaxation. |
 |
| Tent-building is an art form in our house. |
 |
| How fun is that for a kid? |
 |
| The most successful tent ever -- she crawled in there and napped all by herself! |
 |
| These 3 love riding their bikes -- all the way up to McDonalds! |
 |
| Summertime tea parties with Sweet Daddy. |
 |
| Love the outfits! |
 |
| Cool pic of a typical summer night at the Courtright house. Love those poolside sunsets! |
On one random summer day, I saw an easy recipe for making your own ice cream using ziploc bags. I thought to myself, "Yes! I will be an awesome summertime Mom and do this fun crafty thing with my kids!" I gathered the kids and the easy ingredients and we all worked our way through the recipe and instructions. I was so proud when we actually ended up with REAL ice cream at the end.

| Shaking our bags to freeze the ice cream mixture. |
 |
| Here's Kaitlynn's ice cream. |
 |
| And now Connor's. |
The kids took one bite -- ONE -- and decided to throw theirs away, leaving me with countertops full of melted ice and salt granules to clean up. I ended up finding salt all over my kitchen for days to come. I think the preparation and cleanup lasted about 2 hours while their enjoyment of the homemade ziploc ice cream lasted all of 30 seconds. People, THIS is why I don't do projects with my kids!!
Busy, busy, busy. Soak in those last few days, girl. I know I am! I love the Pine Cove Camp post. I can't wait until my boys are old enough to do that kind of thing. AWESOME!! I loved catching up. I'll be expecting lots of photos from the upcoming reunion. ;-)
ReplyDeleteLooks like a fun start to the summer. The date night pics are awesome! I totally get ya on the projects with the kids. I really do feel the same. Sometimes the amount of work it takes is just not worth the result! I already miss you and your family. I absolutely LOVED our visit and sure do wish we could have weekly lunches! Love you!
