Life lately...

Loving our donuts for breakfast on weekends...



Birthday parties!
Happy birthday River and Lilah!






Squeezing out the last of the pool days... water was a tad chilly!



The slime craze has invaded our household...





Cousin visit #2!



Rea got to use her Christmas present from her G&G W this week when we met our friends for jumping fun!










Rolling into the school year with her friends... $1 skate night!







We've had a great summer!  Looking forward to getting into the school daze groove...

Doing that fair thing...

Where the calories don't count and the people watching never ends!

I headed to the fair for a girls night to reminisce about the 90's at a concert- I love the 90's!

We got there early to do some firsts.... sky ride to the wine hill, wine tasting over looking downtown... and then had to go back to the traditions too with a corn dog and cheese curds.

The concert was a flashback to high school/college years and we had a blast belting out song lyrics and dancing like no one was watching.  Best night with my girls!

Firsts

We took Reagan to her very first drive in movie... and it did not disappoint!

The weather was perfect and we got a great spot right up front.

There is something so calm about watching the sunset, surrounded by corn fields, in the middle of the country....just anticipating a fun movie in the dark with pjs and blankets and popcorn.

The movie was cute and Rea said she loved it....making the most of those summer memories.



Exploring the rock pile...








Until next time...

Making the most of those summer days...

10 days left of summer vacay... I know I say it every year but this summer went by FAST. I blinked and it was gone.

Rea completed Art camp- she did a layered painting, a charcoal drawing and a self portrait. Oh what fun she had.



She has been loving trips to Aland with her daycare squad... oh the smiles!!



Rea and I participated in a 1 mile donut run... funny what I'll do for a glazed donut. We worked up a sweat and then cooled off in the pool.




We did it!

After the race Reagan said, 'Mom my chest hurts from running...oh yeah and I feel skinnier!' Oh the laughs with this one...




We took advantage of a Sunday afternoon without plans and beautiful weather to play at our favorite park...








Cheering on her cousin and friends at the softball fields while hanging with her Papa:




I'm living out my dessert bucket list with two trips to two different cupcake shops!

Molly's:




And Creme'...


Life is short. Eat dessert first...

Hope everyone is enjoying these last few days of summer!

Hello August!

Three weeks until Reagan starts school- where did the summer go?!

We welcomed August with completing golf camp, starting art camp, ice cream play dates and pool play dates...  Sounds like the perfect end of summer days to me!

Last golf camp night:

She got to ride in a golf cart, to which she exclaimed- 'that's the best part of golf camp!' Got to play one entire hole of golf, and earned a golf ball and trophy.  Fun times!








Rea came with me to our first PTA meeting of the new school year and had fun catching up with friends. We just had to celebrate with ice cream afterwards!



She has loved art camp...



And we enjoyed a fun night at the pool!





Soaking up these last few weeks of summer...
