July highlights: Swim lessons. Addison did four weeks worth. Clark decided after some convincing he would try for the last 2 weeks and loved it! I already posted about Kaylee's birthday. Tyler turned 30 this year! It's hard to believe we are actually aging. Most of the time we still feel like we just got married. I didn't get any pictures but we had a Whitworth family reunion in Bone, ID. We all enjoyed it very much. We camped and ate s'mores, played in the lake, played games and enjoyed talking around the campfire with family! The kids also got to hang out with Uncle Joe and help him pick peas which they loved while Tyler and I went to a sealing for Tyler's cousin Ben. We also had help from Tyler's parents a few times to try to get some more done on our basement remodel/update. Thank you! We now have plumbing, windows, electrical box and meter, new a/c and furnace and new egress windows in the basement (which involved digging the holes, cutting the concrete, cleaning up from that, getting the windows in, and doing the window wells. Now what to do with all the extra clay piled in our backyard... The basement is now plumbed for a bathroom and my washer and dryer are moved to a more convenient location. It will be nice to have the whole basement finished but right now I'm just pleased with the progress made. I didn't realize what all it would take doing so many of the things that we have. It's been a mess but it will be worth it when its done! :)
I wanted to try to do some extra special fun things this summer. Addison is heading into first grade on Monday August 24th. She is nervous about it but I know she will do great! Some extra fun things we have done in August are: discovering a new park and getting to show Grandpa and Grandma Tonks it when they came for a visit. Also we went to the recreation center to swim one time I just took Clark and Addison, the other time with G and G Tonks. We also went to see the minion movie with them. That was a big fun full day!
I didn't get a lot of pictures from when my parents were here either but here's one! I haven't figured out how to put them on from email yet... I'm sure I could figure it out but I should be getting dinner ready the rest of the way. :)
Just this week we went to a splash pad nearby that is free. The kids all enjoyed it. We went earlier in the summer too but Kaylee wouldn't get in. This time with her baby in tow she was happy to get baby wet... She got wet a little too. ;)
The fun park at the splash pad that is almost as cool as the water part.
