Em had her first day of kindergarten! She did great. Didn't cry and loved it! Can't wait to see what this year brings! 

 Em thinks she is a model..cracks me up!

 She needed to take a picture with Jesus...

First in line! (and yes, she is a head taller than all of the kids)

 Lunch with Mom and Barbie

 Showing Daddy her "mad" face since he could not join us (he was teaching)

She found a caterpillar and was very excited.

So, this weekend we got a swing set...Someone posted it for free on the Medina Mom Discuss it page on Facebook, only catch is we had to haul it away. Chris agreed to go take a look, and immediately called his brother to come help pick it up! The kiddos are loving it-we have swings, monkey bars, climbing wall, picnic table, slide, you name it! Yes, it was a pain to move, but they did a great job! It is 90% put back together, but we're getting there! Oh, and Em starts kindergarten tomorrow, WHAT?!!

Picture dump! Yes, school starts in 3 weeks, I cannot believe it! We are having a ton of fun this summer, just hanging out! 

 Legos and Mom;s work

 Breakfast with Nana

 That face :) 

 Em found a rock

Best friends 

Chris finished the barn door!  

Yikes, 3 weeks until school starts? I don't even know where these last few weeks have gone! Kiddos are doing great. Jordan is getting so strong, he just got fitted for leg braces which should help him with walking soon. He's not traditionally crawling, but scooting and arming crawling so gets where he needs to go. Em is just getting more and more of a personality (if that is even possible!) and is super excited to start school. Chris and I are just trying to keep up with house projects, cleaning and working...while spending lots of family time together...always a struggle!

ok, gotta get my butt in gear and go school supply shopping. Enjoy the pics!

Wow, fun weekend! Celebrated Ella's second birthday, hung out with friends-did no house work and pretty much just played. But really, isn't that what the weekends are for! This summer is flying buy! I just ordered Em's school uniforms today (yikes!). Jordan is still so close to crawling...it will happen....

The boy loves the water! 

 haha Em, trying to get Ella and Jordan to look at the camera at the same time

Happy boy! 

Chris' latest project-reclaimed wood wall! 

Ok, so I'm the worst at taking pictures this past week! We had a fun 4th of July, celebrated Lindsay's Wedding shower and lots of family time. But, so few pictures, sorry! We were busying clearing up the inside and outside of our house for hosing Lindsay's shower-mulch, paint, you name it. Shower went off without a hitch and now our house looks on point! Em got to swim and play with kittens and dance. Jordan was just happy being cute. Great summer week! 

 kitty time! 

 silly girl!

Getting down!

 Aunt Jeanie and Grandma!

 Grandma, Lindsay and me

Little man swimming with Nans!

More summer fun! Swimming with the kids and Em got to go horseback ridding. Em is becoming such a big girl-so awesome to see her growing up! Jordan is so sweet, and working so hard on crawling! He is (finally) able to sit up on his own from laying down, which is a huge step. He also had his 6 mo follow up with the neurologist, and they are very happy with his progress so far. He sees no reason for Jordan not to meet all of his milestones, it is just a matter of when, so we will be patient and wait! Loving these summer days! 

 oh, that face!
