Well, we will try to capture our summer and the past few months with everything I happened to document....
First, Aaron graduated from Kindergarden and had a great year. We were very proud of his performance, his behavior, and his character this past year.
Aaron and his friend, Carson....
Aaron loved his teacher, Ms. Cartmell....
Papa Ken had a major heart surgery in May and has spent most of summer in rehab and recovery.... We have been blessed by the extra time spent with him as he pulled through a pretty major medical issue.
Aaron had a great end to his soccer season and closed it off scoring a total of 26 goals in 6 games.
He got to be on a team with several friends from church - Aiden, Keaton, Caleb, and Kyler...
And Noel had their little siblings to keep her company at practices and games ;)
Aaron got to be on swim team this summer. It started out a bit rough as he was intimidated and insecure, but he got into it and had a great coach. We were very proud that he overcame his fears and timidity and worked hard....
He was coached by our friend, Patrick, and we loved how great he did with Aaron - he was so encouraging and Aaron learned a lot from him.
Aaron learned the breast stroke and it was by far his best! We were so proud and excited at his last meet when he placed first in his division.
Noel got to enjoy a princess party with some of her friends from church... She is blessed to be so loved and have so many fun friends close to her age.
As Saturday night services continue, we got to enjoy "Food Truck Frenzy" every Saturday night. It was a lot of fun and everyone loved hanging out and eating together.
We of course went swimming as often as possible....
And enjoyed a bargain from Kohls to help us on those hot boring days...
We got to go camping up in the mountains with my side of the family...
The cousins had a blast all together...
And we got used to constant dirty faces...
Uncle Keith's quad was always a highlight to ride...
Here is Noel popping out one of her verses she learned at church...
We also took a road trip to California to have some time away from the heat and hit the beach... Here is some entertainment we had on the drive...
I got to meet up one day with some of my old college buddies, Jen and Laura... Was so fun to catch up and see them.
The kids loved playing in the waves and learning to boogie board.
Papa Bob and Grammy joined us for a few days to play also....
Aaron also turned 7! His choice instead of a birthday party was to take Uncle Keith's boat out on the lake. He chose to take his friends from our neighborhood, Trey and Grady... They had a lot of fun!
Most of the summer, Aaron and Noel had fun playing together...
At the end of July, Aaron started 1st grade!
There is the summer in a nutshell. Thanks for sticking with us and checking in!
