Summer is a flyin!!!

We wrapped up t-ball for Kylie the end of June. She loved playing and did great, her favorite position was first base. Usually kids are ready to be done with t-ball by the end of the season, not Kylie. She wished t-ball was longer. We have now started golf lessons instead and she is really liking those too.


Karinda has been loving swim team. She goes to practice everyday and never complains. Before the season started I thought I would be happy if she finished her races. She has been doing way better than that, she has gotten first a few times in the butterfly! We have "Championships" this weekend and she qualified for the 25 butterfly and 200 freestyle relay! We are so proud of our little swimmer!


Kylie usually enjoys going to the swim meats too because she can play with some of her friends there and eat all kinds of fun snacks! She usually can't get in the pool though, but the Thursday of the fourth of July weekend we had a "fun meet" in Arapahoe where Kylie got to play in the spray ground they have.


She also had fun at the playground.


We got a new boat just in time for the Fourth of July weekend. A small open bow and the girls love it. Karinda enjoys her little perch right in the front.


The first night they were a little nervous to go tubing behind the new boat. Kylie only wanted to go on her own and Karinda would only go with someone else. Kylie did good and Karinda goes for just a little bit and then signals to stop. She doesn't always want to stop, just to tell us stuff sometimes. We went out on Sunday night with some friends and they loved going on their friend Breelle's tube, looks like we need to upgrade to the flat kind of tubes.


Eric and I both got up and skied. It took me quite a few tries but I did it!




The morning of the Fourth of July we headed to Arapahoe to the parade with our friends Brylyn, Mallory, and Macy and their moms. After the parade there was food in the park and some fun stuff for the kids. I think that is one of the reasons I like it here so well, there are plenty of other moms whose husbands are busy working while mine is busy too.




At night we went out on the boat with the Springer's and had a great time. Karinda loves playing with and taking care of Kenley.

We invited our friends Autumn and Brenna out to go tubing. The girls took turns going with their friends and their friends were way more brave than Karinda and Kylie and loved it. rSunday afternoon we went tubing down the Republican River with our friends Mallory and Brylyn. It took about four hours and it was super fun and relaxing. Eric even left his phone in the truck, the first time he has officailly checked out in FOREVER! The girls can't wait to go again but the river is not very high so I am not so sure if we will make it this summer.

























Our little swimmer, Karinda!
