Summer

I started school again to get my administrative credential so the first three weeks of my summer was spent in classes. I enjoyed the classes, but it was a lot of work.  We were able to spend the 4th of July with Nates family. It was very low key, but we had a good time.  Reese went to Vacation Bible School for a week and Avery went to a ballet dance camp.  They had a great time.

Reese had her first sleepover with her friend Harper...they had a blast =)

Exhausted from her sleepover...Reese never falls asleep in the car

4th of July

 

The girls and I left for the West Side and were there for a week before Nate and the Gleason's met us in Seattle for a little mini vacation.  Visiting family and friends was so much fun, but so busy. It was great to get back home.

Summer fun at a local water park...the girls had a blast

n August we had a great time with friends, and Nate surprised me with a trip to Chicago to celebrate our 9 year anniversary....to say I was shocked was an understatement. We had a blast, ate lots of good food, acted like we were 21 again, went to a cubs game in Wrigley field and did the tourist thing with some of Chicago's attractions. Nate's cousin lives in Chicago so it was fun to see him and hang out with him too =).
