The last few months...

We're back!  I am so sad that I slacked over the past few months and didn't get my daily/weekly posts done.  For a while I was doing really well, having a picture of every day.  Then we got into the routine of summer.  I figured we only needed so many pictures from the pool or park :)
So here's a summary of May, June and July...

May:

May started out with a visit from Nana and Papa for Mother's day.  We all had a great time playing until Peyton came down with his first ear infection :(  But we still managed to have Grandma Sheryl over for a nice Mother's Day dinner.

The end of May brought the end of the school year.  It was fun for me because I got to sub for the last 2 weeks.  The kids are great and I'm so excited to be their "real" teacher this coming fall!

June:
The beginning of June brought a trip down to IL to meet Baby Bryce and see Peyton's Godparents Tyler & Lorrie.  We had a fun time just hanging out and playing.  We found this really fun bouncy house place too.  Peyton had a blast there!

Ah, he's crying!  What do I do??!

We spent Father's Day weekend in Hudson.  Luke, Sarah & Cru (our cousins) were in Wisconsin from California for the Dash for Dads 5k.  Peyton and Cru had so much fun together!  We hope to see them again soon... maybe we'll come to Cali :)
Uncle Dave took Peyton fishing.

July:
We were back in Hudson for 4th of July weekend.  Jake and Jamie were home for the weekend too.  We watched Jake and his friends play Matilla Ball (2-on-2 baseball that they've been playing for years!), participated in a fishing contest and did fireworks.  It was a great start to July.

Later in July we went to Chris and Aleisha's cottage.  We spent the entire weekend on the water and it was wonderful!  We skied, tubed (tried), and swam.  Thanks Chris and Aleisha for a fun time!

  That pretty much sums up our summer so far.  We've had lots of fun and there's still more to come :)
