I thought it was time to do another post. Hopefully it won't take another year to make the next one. hehe
School is out here. Baseball is about to end for my two older boys. We have practically lived at the park 4-5 days a week (games and practices). Not sure what we are going to do when Emma, William and Murphy get older. At least we can get William and Murphy on the same team so that should help. Swimming lessons have started.
I wanted them to get started right away so that they wouldn't be "too" bored and they have loved them. Just the three olders are enrolled. Em was really excited to use her new swimsuit and princess towel so that helped her overcome her fear of the water. It really helped that her teachers are so nice and work with her too.
Trouble is that the weather here has not been very warm and so they have had to cut the classes short. They are planning to make up the time this week but with the weather a little windy Em hasn't wanted to really do a whole lot. She seriously struggles to put her head in the water. We have been practicing like crazy in the tub but in the pool there is so much more water that it freaks her out. Hopefully the weather warms up and she gets so hot that she does it on her own just to cool off. Wishful thinking? Yeah, probably.
The twins are getting bigger. They don't talk a whole lot and then surprise you with a sentence here and there. They love sports and can be found wearing their older brothers' baseball gloves or kicking the soccer ball around the backyard. They love to wrestle and often try to use their siblings as jungle gyms. How is that for cheap entertainment?
Andrew is still doing great at his job. He does a great job providing for our family and we really appreciate all the effort he puts in for us. He has been coaching Satch's team (for the second year in a row) and is also really excited that it is almost over. *wink, wink* He loves to de-stress with his neighborhood game nights.
I have been trying to grow a garden.....all that seems to grow though are weeds. Ugh. This thumb will get green one of these days. I have a ton of projects in my mind though so if I ever get them done I will post them. They include a flag craft, decorating Em and the twin's rooms and the list goes on.

hey, where the heck have you been? I haven't been walking with Val for months, and a breakfast at Carls Jr. once every week or so does not allow us to catch up on everything. The babies are darling!! Enjoy your summer and keep posting
