This is pretty much just an i-phone picture dump.
We have had a lot of fun this summer so far! The first half of the summer has just flown by! We have been pretty busy with vacation, birthdays, swimming, and Wesley has spent a week with my Dad, and is now at church camp!
We spend a good bit of our time at my Aunt Merrily’s pool in the summer. This is Emma with Aunt Merrily.
Sweet Ava. She has really gotten a lot more brave about getting in the water!
Wesley and Ava.
Cute girls.
We have had fun playing in the backyard with friends.
Riding bikes and going on walks in the evenings.
Having lunch with friends. (I think we have kept Chick-fil-a in business!)
Going to the movies with friends. ( obviously not an iphone picture, but I had to add it because it’s so cute!)

Doing science experiments with neighbors. ( We have some really cool neighbors.)
Eating popsicles and playing with Olivia.
Going to the splash pad.
Wesley going to Signal mountain youth camp for the first time!
I also painted out kitchen cabinets and I LOVE how they turned out! It was a pretty big job and it really wore me out because I worked on them at night when the kids were in bed.

I’ll share some better pictures later. I’m going to try and make a curtain for the kitchen window. (yikes)
We have had to slow things down a bit because Ava hasn’t been feeling well. We were supposed to have family over last night for a 4th of July cookout, but we had to cancel it. She seems to be doing better today.
It was so hard sending Wesley off to camp this morning. He teared up a little when he was telling me bye and that just tore my heart out! I know he is going to have a blast and I’m excited for him to go, but we will miss him and I really hope he doesn’t get too homesick.

The cabinets look great! I’ve done that before and know it is a HUGE chore. Can’t imagine trying to do it with little people in the house (which, I guess, is why you had to do it after they went to bed).
Thanks Darsi! It was a chore! The good thing is that we have a pretty small kitchen.
And summer isn’t even halfway over!! Wow! You have been busy.
