Summer!

It's been a wetter and chillier start to our summer than in year's past

but we have enjoyed a change of pace greatly!

Jen still is doing summer tutoring 4 days a week in the morning

and Steve is busy with "speed and aglility" and working at the farm!

A nice day for a family bike ride 

Avery's 1st time to "rickety bridge" with her bigger bike and training wheels 

We got the pool set up in June, but only have been in it about 5 times so far 

 due to the cooler weather. 

My roses all came back beautifully even though I was worried

after a harsh winter. 

One afternoon Aubrey floated for 30 minutes straight!

Unbelievable - she was getting chilly and even got a little sunburn

on her stomach where we forgot to sunscreen :)

Avery started gymnastics up again for 6 times this summer 

She was the only one on time when it started - a few more did join her later. 

The girls enjoyed the Kaisand cousins campout the weeked of Father's Day!

We celebrated Steve's birthday a few days early out there, too. 

Grandpa and Grandma's nice new camper! 

The girls LOVED their time camping for a few days this year!

We decided to make cupcakes for Steve's birthday 

The girls planned a little "surprise party" for Steve -

those girls LOVE birthdays! 

Happy 36th, Steve!
