Summer!

Summer is in full-swing around here. And we are loving every minute of it!
Troy has been teaching summer school but it is really not that bad. He leaves the house around 7am and gets home around noon-ish. So we have all afternoon to hang out as a family and enjoy the summer! Plus...he only has 1 more week and then has all of August off!
We have been busy! Here are some photos of what we have been up to lately!

We have organic produce delivered every other Thursday from Klesick Family Farm. It is so fun to see what we get and make yummy food from the plentiful bounty


Kaden LOVES water. He is a splashing fool! We put the "kiddie" pool up in our backyard almost every day for the boys to play in


The "summer deck" Troy built this deck 3 years ago and we are really enjoying it. I love the pots that I made in the spring. Troy power washed and stained the deck a few weeks ago and it looks brand new!


Troy and Kyle brought these home for me to enjoy (Kyle's favorite color--pink)


Troy doing what he loves....spraying the shore line
He is SO CUTE when he water skis


We went to Biringer farm and picked 17 pounds of strawberries and almost as many raspberries. We made 43 jars of jam....and still have MORE to make! That should last us through December...maybe


Kaden playing in the rocks at Lake Cavanaugh


Kaden riding "a big boy truck" on the beach


Kyle enjoyed being the "flagger" when daddy was water skiing....but daddy never fell in so he did not have a job to do


Kaden floating in his flotilla


Kyle is really into "combat play" So squirt guns are right up his alley


purple lips....time to snuggle in a towel
