Here is what we have been doing this summer so far.
We went to the drive-in and saw Monsters U, loved it! Ash and Kaite watched from out the sunroof, silly girls.

reading, we have been to the library tons! The girls have ready so many books it's awesome!
We
had a nasty hail storm that wiped out a bunch of our garden, it also
rained so much it leaked into Ash's room (good thing the carpet wasn't
down yet!)
We had tons of laundry to wash with everything in the basement, this is how Lyvi helps with the clean laundry!
Love these pics!
The girls have played with their cats. Unfortunately, we lost this one and Kami's within like 3 days.
We met a new cousin, and got to spend some time with Chelsea, there was a party going on that night!
We finished our first round of swimming lessons (we have gone through 3 or 4 swim suits so far this year).
Kami floating and looking for her ring, ready for level 2.
Kaite doing her awesome backstroke and diving (passed off level 4).
Ash swimming in her clothes and swimming a 500. She had to swim the 500, tread for 10 min (2 with out hands), and bring up a brick from the bottom of the pool. Ash will continue with level 6 until she is 15 and can take the lifeguard class.
Lyvi decided last Monday that she can walk! Now she is terrorizing the house, still won't wear shoes much though.
We
went swimming with the city last Thursday and had a fun night! It was
good to spend some time together, Ky finished up finals the night
before.
And of course the basement. the before when everything was tore up.
And the after, everyone is back in their rooms and mostly moved in (Kami's books still need to be put away). And we finally got carpet at the bottom of the stairs, everyone loves the new better carpet! trim next.
Ky
got the gutters up, this should eliminate any leaking into Ash's room
from any big storms we get. They will have to come off every winter
though.
My girls in their pretty white dresses.
We
have been so busy with everything that I feel like most of the summer
is gone. It has been so hot that we haven't spent much time outside. We
did find some time to go see Red 2, can't wait to watch it again.
Ky
finished up this semester with 4 A's and 1 B, but he had a 91.88%- I
thought that was an A.....different grading scale. With the end of this
semester he has everything for his Architecture degree, only one more
semester to go and he will also have his Construction Management degree!
We are all so excited!
Kami said the funniest thing to me one night. She asked me "mom does your hair really turn brown when you cut it?" It all clicked at that moment, that is why she was so terrified to have me even trim it! She said she does not want brown hair! haha Ky said everyone does say she has hair like Tangled maybe we have watched that movie too many times.
So there is our catch up for the first half of the summer.
