Summer To Do List
This is our summer to-do list for this year.
Song of the Week
This is Michael's and my song. It was from the movie Robin Hood: Prince of Thieves, which we saw on our first date.
Baseball Tee
I absolutely love baseball tees. They are probably my favorite kind of clothing. I only own 2-3 of these, but I really love them.
Five On Friday
This was a very busy week. We had something every single day. I am glad that it is over.
O N E:
Cam had an eye appointment. He was excited because his eyes got a little better since the last appointment. He ordered a little different style of glasses this time.
T H R E E:
Cam finished Syllabus and piano. He will no longer take piano lessons. He really had a great teacher the past 5 years.
F O U R:
Jar had testing this week. He is so glad that is done for the year. We always stop for old fashioned milkshakes on the way home. Jar got caramel, and Cam got peanut butter cup.
It was a great week. We look forward to slowing down a little bit starting next week though.

F I V E:
Today we went to the trampoline park with our good friends. The boys have been wanting to do this for a long time. They had so much fun...they were very tired. After the trampoline park, we hung out at McDonald's for a couple of hours. We all had a great time.
Friday's Letters
Dear Jesus: Thank you for the nice weather this week. I have loved it.

Boys Special Treats
I had to pick up bananas, eggs, and a few other groceries at Target today (we were out because of Cam's Orthodontist Appointment). Cam wanted cupcakes... so this is what the boys got.
Jar's choice - vanilla bean |
Cam's choice - red velvet |
Mother-in-law Suite
We have tried to figure out a way to get both of our mom's to be able to have a place to stay. This weekend we got it all worked out...it only took us about 4-6 hours to build. We got you both covered, Moms. There are two beds, a kitchen (grill), closet shelving, and a sitting area. (with mini fridge and TV available)
Jar is modeling the sitting area |
Memorial Day Weekend
We had a great Memorial Day weekend. It was relaxing, but we also got a lot done.
The boys first worked to get the shelving done in the shed.
Here is the finished shelving:
The boys worked a lot on the car and really got a lot done. I took some photos throughout their work time.

While the boys were working on the shelving, I cut Lily's hair...not my favorite thing to do.

Saturday, Sunday, and Monday was spent working on the shelving and the car. In between this work, we also rested and watched TV, read, or played games.
On Monday (Memorial Day) I made sandwiches that were incredible...truly restaurant worthy.
Lily wanted some |
