Happy 4th of July!

Happy 4th!
Sometimes the best plans are no real plans... the sun was shining and it was the perfect day to spend in the pool!

We ended the night with driveway sparklers with neighbor friends!

And watching fireworks from our driveway!

Hope everyone had a wonderful 4th of July!

Goodbye June, Hello July!

We finished off June having fun at our friends, the Snelson's! Swimming and grilling out- Rea loved playing with their kitty!

Hello July!

We watched an amazing fireworks show at the local casino- we kept saying, 'is this the finale?'
Best I've ever seen.  Lots of fun with friends! And the bonus- Rea loved riding the shuttle from the outlet mall and dancing on stage with friends!

Hope everyone has a safe and relaxing 4th of July!

VBS 2018

This is one of Reagan's favorite weeks during summer- Vacation Bible School!

This year she said was one of her favorites!  Shipwrecked VBS was the theme- lots of fun with games, bible adventures, imagination station and singing songs! 

The coolest part was watching the kids reach their goal for kid to kid operation!  Over $2,000 raised in 5 days to feed hungry children in Haiti.  What an accomplishment!

God is good!

Summer Art Camp 2018

Reagan had fun at art camp this year- drawing and painting were the styles she chose. Some days I thought more paint got on her instead of the canvas, but I guess that's part of fun when you're a kiddo. A fun summer camp that's affordable... can't beat that!

Under the sea, flower expression and a self portrait!

Father's Day Weekend

Friday night Reagan and I met her friends for dinner and then to watch a children's theater production of Peter Pan. It was our first time watching a play at the local theater. 

We really enjoyed it and loved cheering on Rea's friends!

Saturday was the annual donut run & pool dip and this time, Andy and Rea ran while I walked and chatted with my friend Jen.  It was hot but we had fun despite the heat.  And Rea loved eating a donut and then swimming!

We then celebrated Father's Day with Andy's family- ate lots of good food... a great time celebrating the wonderful dads in our life!  Happy father's day Steve, Andy and Scotty!

Hope everyone had a relaxing weekend!

This is how we summer!

Now that dance is over, Rea loves spending time at her favorite parks-

Field trips with daycare buddies!

Adventureland!!

Play dates!

Rea is loving summer!

Brownies- 1st year

Reagan completed her first year of Brownies and celebrated with an end of the year party where the girls got to learn sign language.  Rea loved it and has been practicing her signing ever since.  Huge thanks to her leaders for planning all the service projects and activities all year long.

Rea's troop applied for and won a grant to build and stock a free food pantry in our area.  The girls also donated cookies and cookie $ to the local kids summer program for under privileged kiddos.  They definitely learned the lesson of giving back and helping others in need. I love the scouts program and Rea is excited for next year!

Showing off a few badges she earned!
