We had a busy start to the summer. The kids did two full weeks of swim lessons with lessons being 4 days/week. That took up our whole morning most days as I would try to work out beforehand. In addition, the morning sickness/exhaustion was real and I struggled through May and June to just have enough energy to be a good mom.
The kids love swim lessons and are becoming good little swimmers. Sawyer just swims with me while the other two take lessons.
As if swim wasn't enough the older two also started baseball. I've definitely learned my lesson and will try to schedule less in the summer. I guess with school some things will have to happen in the summer but I'd like to keep them more open if I can.
Tyler and the older two are trying to make some money hosting a lemonade/popsicle/water stand during some heavy traffic times this summer while we have a festival happening. Tyler has spent hours preparing the kids and stuff and really is the best dad ever. It's so much work for him, but has committed to teach the kids financial responsibility early.
They worked up a business plan and purchased supplies.
Spending June with these 3 cuties...YES PLEASE!

The kids enjoyed a summer festival at our park which included hay rides, tug o'war, and giant pickles no one ate and mom just carried around for a couple hours.
We've spent as much time as possible exploring our backyard and all the fun it has to offer.
We had a Decker family camping trip. I don't know if there is anything better than tents, campfires, and cousins. Well according to the kids lots of dirt might be the best.
They worked up a business plan and purchased supplies.
The first day they made enough money to cover all their expenses with lots of inventory left, but the second day only profited $3.00. We have a few weekends left of this festival so fingers crossed they makes some money. Rilyn is hoping for a mermaid barbie and Ryder a puzzle. They've realized how much work it is to make money and I think it's been an eye opener in the sense that making money is not easy.

Just some random June fun...
Yay it never gets old seeing your lives captured in these posts. I just see each one of their personalities in the pictures. Ryder lining things up, Sawyer chomping on a peach, Rilyn learning how to budget. So sweet :)
