Cheers. To Summer!

To all of my family members and to the few “loyal readers” that I still might have…I’m sorry for the lapse of time between my last post and this one. Our family sure has been staying active. But…I’m BACK!

Today is the first official day of summer; yet, we’ve already experienced 95-100 degree temps, stormy nights, softball diamonds, abnormally large but ever-so-pesky junebugs, out of control grass (I said grass…NOT gas), sleepless nights in a camper followed by awesome days spent with family, large hats and swimsuits, sunscreen and mosquito wipes, water parks…

And we still have so much to look forward to!

Just a few weeks ago, we spent a weekend at the Great Wolf Lodge and had a blast! I can honestly see us taking our kid(s) there every 1-2 years. It was seriously that great of a time. Rylie was a bit nervous about the water. But after a full day of her being tightly wrapped around my neck, she learned to relax and enjoy the pool. And the mini frog slide. And the fountains of water sprouting from the ankle deep water. And the music. And the tipping buckets. And the...you get the picture.

She ended up loving it!

We spent this past weekend with my dad’s family at “the puddle” (pictures coming soon!). We just booked a trip to Orlando, Florida, where we will celebrate the 4th of July. We would like to spend an afternoon at the zoo. Hope to have family down for a few visits. We have a new niece who will be making her appearance basically, any day now; which means…another quick trip to Kansas. My birthday is in August. Followed by our 4th wedding anniversary. And we also put our house back on the market. I think we outgrew our current home the day we brought Rylie home from the hospital. :)

Needless to say, our lives have been…will be…and will continue to be…BUSY! But honestly, does life ever settle down?! And if so…what would be the fun in that?!

Cheers. To summer!
