Signs of summer #3....

Swimming in our neighbor's pool!!! We are so thankful to have such a generous neighbor who lets us use his pool during the summer. This year Jenna finally got brave enough to swim in the "deep end" ....and even jumped off the diving board all by herself . She was so excited!!

Signs of Summer #2.....

#2....sleeping in!!

Jenna has always been my early bird. Even when she was a baby she would stay up late and wake up early. I am quite the opposite - early to bed and then sleep in! This morning I actually had to wake her up so she could come with me to take photos. I don't know what was more surprising....the fact that she was still sleeping at 8:50am....or the fact that I was awake, dressed, and ready to go at 8:50am.

Signs of summer.....

#1 ... wiffle ball games in the front yard

There are some things that just remind me of summer, and wiffle ball games in our front yard is definitely one of them. Sometimes it's just a regular game of wiffle ball....sometimes it's homerun derby...and other times it's just pitch and catch between Chris and Jacob. Whatever their game of choice is, our front yard gets turned into a baseball field every summer.

Sunday afternoon Cade, Gage, and Dane came over to play and later two more of Jacob's friends - Gavin and Davis - ended up coming over too. Of course they had to play wiffle ball. At one point in the game even Gavin's dad and Chris joined the game. The only downfall was that wiffle balls kept getting hit over the fence into our neighbor's pool as they were trying to swim (luckily they were good sports about it).

Jenna and Dane were not so much into the wiffle ball scene. They focused on babies instead - bring out 5 of Jenna's dolls , loading them into the wagon, taking turns pulling each other around the block, and then playing on the swingset.
