Lazy Summer Days

If for no other reason you have to love July for the flowers!! The funny hats are cool too!!

Maggie update: She has finished all of her "assigned" reading for the summer as well, so she is free to play for the rest of her break ( which is only another month!). She wants desperately to learn to ride her bike without training wheels, which is great in theory, but not so easy in practice when your choices are grass and gravel. Both of the boys learned on Mom's blacktopped driveway.
Sam, fresh home from a bike ride.

Sam update: Still in tournaments...play again tomorrow night at 6:30pm. They won their game Tuesday 12-2...Sam had a really up and down game. He had at least one error (if not 2) defensively, but he also batted 1000...and got a homerun, who cares if it was because the other teams right fielder was S-L-O-W!! We'll take it anyway!! From here on out, wins are iffy...the rest of the teams they will play are in the top 4 and at least one of them has beaten them before this season, so we'll let you know! He starts football on the 3rd.

Liam fresh back from a bike ride...

Liam update: Liam has a game tonight and one Saturday, then he starts tournaments on Sunday. He also is very close to his birthday and in extremely high spirits about it!! Plus, he's in love!! Please see : Best Friends (in sidebar), lol

Last night we went to the drive in to see the new Harry Potter, I was quite impressed with it, but I think it really helped that it's been years since I read the book. They tend to change things which always irks me...but if they changed stuff this time, I don't remember!! I kinda like it better that way! For the first time I can remember, Maggie stayed awake for the entire movie!

Jon still hasn't passed his stone...he sleeps a lot. I'll keep you posted on that too ~ maybe I'll post a pic of it when it passes (LOL)...then again, maybe I won't (eeew) !

So, from our house to yours,

have a glass of mint tea...

...and some chips and dip. summer style!

And always remember WE LOVE YOU!!!!
