Where did the last month go!?

Ive been so busy these last several weeks getting caught up on photo books from all the kids pictures since January that I got behind on blogging. Both of which are simply for me so that I can remember what life was like back in the day! Because believe it or not I will forget how hard and how fun these days were. Going through life you think you will never forget but we certainly do, but I'm hoping by writing every now and again and keeping up on all my favorite pics I will have a lot of memories.
This last month we have been busy with several important Dr appointments and just having fun enjoying the healthy season of the year! Although it has been extremely hot we have had fun outdoors and indoors. We have spent so much time swimming in the neighbors pool this year it has been great fun and a life saver with this heat. Ryan was a little fish this year, Bekah was always ready to leave as soon as we got in (she quickly figured out that if she said she had to go poop then we would quickly take her home and she would sit for a really long time on the potty so as not to have to go back!), and Caleb well he loved having all 20lbs of himself held in my arms the entire time we were there (at least an hour, talk about heavy!!). We spent a lot of time in our backyard on the swing set, in the playhouse, and in the sandbox. Caleb has mastered climbing all 6 steps up to the top of the swing set slide and climbing all the way up the very large slide then joyfully sliding back down on his belly! Ive never had a 10 month old who could climb so well! He has manged a lot of bloody lips this last month as well! Shocking I know. The girls spend their entire time pretending to go places like Fortwayne, the zoo, museum, preschool speech, and church with their imaginary friends Lucas (which Ryan informed me is a girl. who knew?) and Abby (Bekah's friend). It is to the point that they aren't wanting to play with Scott and I much anymore. Strange, but nice! So glad we had them so close together!! We have also spent a lot of time out front playing as well. The girls love to ride their bikes on the driveway and in the street (don't worry only with us!). They also love playing with all of Scott's wonderful treasures throughout the entire garage! You would be impressed with the imaginations these girls have in order to have so much fun with such weird items. Caleb's favorite thing out front is the mulch and Scott's small water fountain in the garden!! Annoying!! But he is also in love with riding in the wagon! He points at everything as we walk and makes lots of noise. Too cute! We have also gone to many of the parks around Greenwood, one day a week at Grandma Moon's house, 2 mornings of 45 min of school, the museum of course, the zoo, the local pool once, the library just to play in the play area and on the computers, and many trips to the grocery store with all 3 (what an adventure that always turns out to be!) As always it turned out to be one great, fun summer!! However, I'm looking forward to the next season and all the exciting fun that fall brings in Indiana!! Even among the colds that will inevitably invade our home!!
