Summer is going too fast!

It has been an eventful July. It is hard to believe that August is here and summer will soon be over! 

So, starting off where I left off with the last post…

Leah has been a busy girl this July. She had a week of gymnastics camp, 3 days of cheerleading camp, and now she is spending a whole week at the cabin with Nonna and Grandpa. I think she has been having a pretty good summer.Oh, and she even lost a tooth and got a visit from the tooth fairy. 

7/8/12: Amber is potty trained, day and night time! We have become a diaper free house now. She was so excited to pick out her own big girl undies on 7/21. I had her in the thicker training pants until then, even though she didn’t need them. Maybe I subconsciously was not ready for her to be so big! 

7/14/12: Twins game. Joe, Leah, Mary and I went to the game. Coincidently, Aunt Vicky, Uncle Jim, and cousins Jim and Sam were also there and they found us right at the gate as we entered. Small world! We had a beautiful evening for the game, and had a fun time even if the Twins didn’t win. I don’t know if Leah really watched the game, but she enjoyed eating peanuts and cotton candy!

7/21/12: We helped our friend, Mike, celebrate his 40^th birthday.  Happy Birthday, Mike!

7/22/12 – 7/24/12: The girls and I went to the cabin with Grama Mary, Nonna and Grandpa. Joe had to stay home to work. We had fantastic weather, did some boating, lots of swimming, a couple of fires, but we still couldn’t convince Leah to try tubing!  Silly Sara (my Aunt Sara) even came over for an afternoon.

My favorite Amberism from the cabin
“I hurt my butt, kiss it Nonna, kiss my butt!” Oh, kids!

The girls just love spending time at the cabin. Amber has asked us every day since we returned…"I go to the cabin?" She has even had a full conversation with her daycare teacher that left the teacher thinking that Joe was picking her up and they were going to the cabin where Amber was going to go swimming!

7/25/12: Leah FINALLY loses her left front tooth which seems like it was ready to come out for weeks!

7/29/12: We celebrated the birthday of my beautiful Goddaughter, Kaysee. It’s a pinkalicious party! Most of the attendees wear pink – yes, even Joe. 

Yup, July was busy, fun and everything summer should be. August should give us more of the same! Gotta enjoy the warm months while we have them!
