Summer Recap

OoooooHooooo Myyyyyy Gggoooddness!!!! Easter! Seriously?! That was the last blog entry! Time to jump back in and keep everyone updated! As you will see from the over abundance of photos and choppy recaps, our spring and summer were crazy busy!!!!!!!!!!!!! Kynzley was involved in every activity imaginable, Benton started walking, turned one, we fit in ONE camping trip, spent pretty much any free moment at the pool and occasionally took a couple deep breaths and recharged. Kynzley has started school -- KINDERGARTEN -- and we tried not to over load her schedule too much, so hopefully blog updates will be a little more frequent (fingers crossed!)! **Not pictured: Kynzley attended a week long bible camp where she surprised us with a solo on the night of the performance! She attended a week long drama camp where she was a munchkin in the Wizard of Oz, and she gained more soccer skills in a week long soccer camp hosted by a British team. She also got to play with bugs for a week at Nature camp as well as participated in gymnastics.**

Girls Weekend!

Kynzley and I took a trip to Chicago to visit Micki and McKenna for the weekend! We had beautiful weather to enjoy the zoo!

Race Day!

Kynzley and her friend Giana participated in a fun run through the YMCA. 

Tap Dance!

Kynzley was in tap dance this past spring through the YMCA. They were so cute, they performed to the Lion King "I just can't wait to be king!"

Soccer!

Kynzley was in a couple of soccer clubs this past spring and summer. This one was for our local park and rec :) 

Last Days of 4K!

June Dairy Days!

Our town festival and parade! While daddy drove one of the fire trucks for the fire dept, Kynzley walked the parade route (in horrible heat) and passed out fruit snacks!

Happy FIRST Birthday, Benton!

The past year went so fast, it was crazy! We cannot believe that Benton is one already. Most think he is older because of how independent he is. He's been walking since 9 months so you can imagine by his first birthday he was full out running, lol! He is such a special little boy. Definitely keeps us on our toes!!!! His birthday party theme was 'Ahoy! Celebrate the birthday boy!'

Family Weekend!

It was nice to have all the kids in one location during the summer so they could run around outside! Everyone even got to enjoy some time at the aquatic center :)

First Day of Summer School!

Kindergarten Camp 2015

Kynzley and her friend and classmate Asher

T-Ball

Stoney Creek, Osseo, WI 2015

We were, sadly, only able to get out camping once again this year. As you can see from pictures our summer gets packed full of activities. But the time we did have camping was fun like usual! The only downfall were the mosquitos! They were HORRIBLE! Both kids got eaten alive, Kynzley's eye swelled because of it :( 

Spa Party!

Kynzley hosted her first sleepover this summer that did not consist of relatives! She had her great friends spend the night, our neighbors! She chose to have a spa theme, which was so much fun. I made the girls sleep masks and then the girls made their own lip stick and flip flops and followed the fun craft activities with manis and pedis and blueberry facials!

First Day of KINDERGARTEN!

Yes, you read that correct! I know, it can't be! Kynzley is officially in school! She started Kindergarten last week and is absolutely loving it!!!! She has a great teacher and a couple good friends in her class that she knew before the year started. She loves feeling like a big girl! First day we waited with her, second day she wanted me to walk her as far as the fence and then she was good to go, third day "mom just drop me off, but don't get out of the car!"

Labor Day Weekend

Last official days of summer :(

We spent Saturday on the river with some friends! It was a great time and the kids had a blast! Kynzley got to tube for the first time. She was hesitant at first but LOVED it!!!!!! Benton enjoyed eating the sand, splashing in the water and doing whatever the girls were doing :)
