We have a very busy summer this year. It started with the boys turning 2 in May. We had a bbq and they got way too many things.

We have also been going to the pools, beach, parks, and out on the lake quite a bit. We spent a day at Adventureland and the boys enjoyed it so much we cant even drive thru Altoona without hearing they want to go on the boats and cycles :). I have been super busy with my daycare. I have 3 fulltime little girls and one parttime little girl now so it is pretty busy everyday. Luckily one of my daycare moms is home often and she goes with us to the library program and beach and things.

The kids have been involved in the library reading program this summer and its a blast for them. We go to Mighty minnows on Wednesday mornings and sing and dance and read stories. The boys just love it. We also pick out our prizes for the week and new books which they very much enjoy! Im glad my kids are so interested in reading!

The girls have both been playing softball this summer with Norwalk parks and rec. Isabelle has turned out to be quite the pitcher! Isabelles program is over for the summer but Olivias games are just starting, so that is keeping us busy also!

We just had Olivia's 6th birthday with Ry's parents last night and we plan to celebrate with my family on vacation. We had pizza and cupcakes and she got a new swimsuit, which she told me she needs to pack right away for vacation...lol!

Ryan has been super busy with work this summer. He is still the Assistant Chief of the Norwalk Fire Department but continues to fly as a flight paramedic on Mercy One, Mercy Hospitals helicopter. He also works part-time at Clark co. on the ambulance and emergency room crew. Most recently we was accepted into the DMACCs Mortuary Science program. The program begins in August and will keep him extra busy thru the winter and for the next year.

He also continues to enjoy his hunting and fishing of course! He shot a buck this last winter and I still have deer heads in my garage, which are disgusting by the way! We go to Branson and he does some fly fishing there also.

Speaking of Branson, we are headed for our family vacation this Friday the 23rd for 8 days and we can't wait! We plan on enjoying it as much as possible. The girls are super pumped and cant wait, they even have me packing already. Just hoping the drive works out with all the kids, wish us luck :)!
