I decided to take the afternoon off earlier this week as the weather looked to be picture perfect... that was earlier in the week. Today, woke up to clouds, MORE RAIN... and not so warm. But the sun decided to come out briefly and it was quite nice out. I hung out my by best bud Jes while the girls swam. (It's her pool)
A little snack and sun time! Natalie & Olivia Freundl, Ella & Caroline Murphy
Good friends and lots of giggles.
We swam for about 2 hours until the distant thunder could be heard... then came the storm but we made it home in plenty of time!
Ella and Caroline are moving at the end of the summer to Michigan, so getting some play time in this summer.
Elise wrote me a wonderful letter and wrapped it up at school... this is what it said...
I got these beautiful roses from my dad.. so sweet!!
This is from Lauren
We didn't do a whole bunch today.. just a nice day with the kids. We all went on a bike ride and Eric took them on a dirt trail and they loved it.. so we just kept on going. He was so excited to find an off road trail that the girls can do. It was a lot of fun!
We went down to see Mollie and her family for the weekend. So glad we did, the weather was actually nice in Kansas City.. in Iowa.. it was cold and rainy! Elise and Charlie snuggling on the couch.
A break from bike riding for a quick snack.
We went to a local park for a while.. it was a beautiful day!!
For Lauren's birthday we went to the Urbandale Dance Studio and Gymnastics Club. This place was great!! We had the place to ourselves for 2 hours. The first hour the girls did gymnastic activities, then a craft for 30 minutes.. then it was cake and present time!!
Dad took a turn in the foam pit... he lost his socks in there too!
The girls (and Dad) got to jump down the trampoline lane too.. this was really fun.. even I tried this one!
This is hilarious because you can hear Elise laughing at Eric as he jumps down the lane
Elise, Raegan, Lizzie, Katelyn, Lauren Giada, Faith and Halle
Elise's first and last day of Second Grade.... I can't believe she is a 3rd Grader now...
My baby is officially a second grader... I am amazed at how much they can change is 9 short months... I feel like it won't be long until I am posting junior high photos...
