Summer is in full gear. It sure took a while for the weather to understand that! We had the worst June on record. It even was raining the day the boys got out of school! But, ah the sun has decided to come out!

I am taking the summer off (sort of) from my business. We are so busy I am not sure how I would be able to do it anyway. Between camps, baseball, camping, bad weather - I have definitely not had the kick back days & bbq's I had envisioned! LOL

We were able to go camping (RV style) the past 3 weekends. All 3 weekends were unique and very FUN! We went to Detroit Lake with some good friends! It was free fishing day on Saturday so Larry & Greg took the boys fishing out in the boats! Unfortunately my camera lens died in mid-picture so it cut my pictures short but I did manage to get a few. It was a great weekend of relaxation with friends. eating. drinking. socializing. smores. fishing. bike riding - just what we needed!

Then we dry camped for Andrew's baseball tournament. We really enjoyed ourselves! The first night we dry camped @ the ball field and the 2nd night at Spirit Mountain Casino. The boys won 2 and lost 2 but they were good games! We got a chance to go to the casino with my parents so it was so fun!

This past weekend we went to Casey's RV park. It was one of the most beautiful RV parks! It had an awesome pool and the park is right a long the river! The boys got a chance to go fly fishing. swimming. games. bike riding. playing pool. potlucks. They loved the soft serve ice cream machine that was there :) Beautiful weather and weekend!

Now we are on to basketball camp (which the boys love) and I am trying to catch up around here. Feels good to be in summer mode! (and in 1 week my baby will be 10!)

4th Grade Rockstars

Wow - its been over a month again! I should have more time soon! As announced on the PersonalScrapper blog, I will be taking 2 months off this summer to spend it with my boys!! I am looking forward to just being able to focus on them and have fun!

I wanted to share this video of my son Andrew and his friend Julian. They are musicians! They wanted to try out for school talent show so they got together to "jam". This video is from their 4th time playing together (now they have done 5). I am so extremely proud of them both! They are driven and passionate about music. I think it is hard to believe that they are just in the 4th grade. Please leave a comment!

Easter & Big 4 year old birthday!

Wow - 3 times in one week!! :) I want to blog a little more instead of once every 2 months.

We had a great weekend. We celebrated Ezra's 4th birthday! He turned 4 on 4/4 which also was Easter. We went to Chuck E Cheese for his birthday with a few friends. He had so much fun!

My favorite photos are the ones of the boys hugging him on his birthday. I love their brotherly bond!!! We are so lucky!
