Summer 2012

WOW! What a busy summer it has been! I have taken a 3 month break from blogging and it is going to be a nightmare trying to catch up with 3 months worth of pictures and stories to update. I have not had much of a break this summer at all. This next week pre-pre school starts for the kiddo's and I am FINALLY going to get a few hours in the week to MYSELF!!! WOOOHOOO!!! I'm so excited I can't even stand it. It's going to be busy though because in just a few weeks we are moving into a house that we finally bought here in Louisville that we can finally call OUR HOME! Taylor has already memorized the address :-) We are all just so elated to move in and have more room to run around in and have some extra space. I'm hoping this will be a good breather for all of us :)
Well, so here it goes... on to posting the pictures and updates from this Summer (June, July, August)...


JUNE:

6/1/12

Taylor's first baseball game, and probably last. She thought it was quite borring :-)

the boys watch TV (video's) way better in the car, strapped in, rather than at home. They can never sit down and just watch a show for more than 5 minutes.

6/2/12
We had a big lightening storm and it struck our neighbors tree. She had to get a company to come and remove the tree from her backyard.

Trevor bites Triston

Told them they had to make up and give each other loves :-)

Cohen Mortenson was over one day playing in the backyard, getting all wet and muddy, so they all jumped in the bath to wash off. Got a cute picture of all three splashing in the bath :-)

8/24/12 Taylor loves her princess puzzle and everytime she finished it, she traditionally took a picture like this :-)

8/24/12 Triston randomly got a bloody nose in the bathtub today. First time I realized that I think my boys get bloody noses pretty easily.

The drive to Great Wolf Lodge is only 2, 1/2 hours if that. Totally worth it! Its just outside of Cincinnati Ohio.
