Summer Fun & Accomplishments

So with tomorrow being my last official day of summer, I figured I should post a variety of pictures from all of the fun we had the second half of summer!


Backyard pool fun-Payton, Chase, Hope & Pike
Casey & Chase crashed on the couch

At the Kane County Cougars game during the National Anthem, what patriotic little boys we have! We had a great time with the neighborhood crew as well as the Dolans.



On the field

Petting Jake the Wonder Dog!

Chase running around the bases (in the Bears jersey)

Luke & Blake

Rain Forest Cafe with all of our friends from Cathy's house




Another big rain storm left our backyard flooded for hours. The boys had a FANTASTIC time playing in the rain water although afterward they went straight to the tub! It still amazes me how deep the water gets in our backyards.

"Surfing" on our sandbox cover

Lukie

Blake & Luke fell asleep one night before bed time on the couch together

Another successful garden, our zucchini's were enormous!

Chase attended a summer "Sports Camp" for one week from 9-12 each day. The kids learned all about baseball, soccer and basketball. Chase and Payton had a great time together.






Our kitchen cabinets before...

And after...Blake and his mom surprised me by painting our cabinets for my birthday while we were away on vacation. I love the new look, it was just the update the kitchen needed without breaking the bank. We can't wait to put knobs on the doors!

My project over the summer was to turn Luke's room into a "big boy bedroom". In the end, this is how it ended up. I think that he really likes his Toy Story room.
