Hello friends! Sorry for the unplanned hiatus. We've just been busy having a fun summer and then getting the boys back to school was a hectic process. But they've been back for a little over a week now and we've settled into a normal routine again...well, as normal as you can be with 3 kids! So I figured it was time to get back to the blog. We seriously had the most awesomest summer! Besides the normal kids-are-out-of-school-and-driving-me-nuts moments, and there were plenty, I have to say it's been one of my favorite summers ever! It could be because I wasn't pregnant or just had a baby, like I had been for the past 5 years. But I think it's mainly because the kids are a little older and easier to manage. And they are getting to the point where they really appreciate doing fun things and I know that Jack and Gavin will start remembering all of these good times. I feel like I am experiencing childhood again through their eyes.
Since this was Jack's last summer before he started the long journey of grade school, I really wanted to make it special for him. I just wanted him to be lazy, care free and have a blast. So I tried to do something fun with the kiddos every day. We really had a great time together. And then the last week before school started we did a little staycation and enjoyed some of the great things that Orange County has to offer. Those pictures are coming in the next blog. I have taken a lot of great pictures over the last few months so it was tough to narrow them down. But here's a snapshot of our totally awesome summer of 2014...
We spent most of our summer outside enjoying the California sunshine...
I taught the boys how to roll down grassy hills...
We went to our pool a LOT! And these two little people finally started enjoying the water as much as their big bro...
We also found other ways to beat the heat...
There were the usual toddler shenanigans while big bro was off at summer camp at his new school...
And lots of saving the world one super hero at a time...
We ate a pretty good amount of ice cream...
And had lots of play dates with friends...
And after all this fun, we slept...
The boys said goodbye to Tutor Time and some of their favorite teachers ever...
And then this happened....they grew up right before my eyes. I am so blessed to be able to spend this precious time with these 3 sweet little faces. They are my heart and soul and there is nobody else I would rather spend my summers with...
