Summer.....

July was a super busy month for us just doing, "summer." Below is pictures of all that we have been up to.( yes, 6 slideshows!) In case you don't notice, Daniel is not in any of the pictures because he spent his July sitting in gyms from Seattle to San Diego recruiting basketball players. So the girls and I kept busy without him though we are enjoying this last week and a half together before Tori heads back to school.
So here is the break down of our July. On the 6th we headed to Shaver Lake for camping with my brother Bruce and many of his college friends. They do their annual "soccer head/TMC alumni" trip almost every summer. This was a first for us to join them. The Fays(gma,gpa Fay), Whitfields, Petersons, Fays, Burnhams, Athertons, Scherers and us enjoyed a fun week at the lake. It was a blast!
Next, we had a day at Magic Mountain with Lauren Labat. Tori is getting to be quite the thrill seeker, feeling like the kid rides are old news. However, their kid kareoke is their favorite thing now. We definitely have two rock stars in the making.
Then we had a few days with Aunt Melissa(My sister'nlaw) and cousins Holly and Kenny who were visiting from North Carolina. We always love our times with them!
Lastly, we headed up to WA State to attend the wedding of Jen Ayers'Stamper and Aaron Dickson. Tori was their flower girl and Braelyn was in a group of kiddos who were bell ringers. Being a flower girl has been a dream for Tori. I dont' think she realized it would last all of 10 seconds to get down the aisle, but it was 10 seconds she will never forget. The funniest part was how she started crying when the bride and groom left the reception because she told me, " I will miss them so much when they are on their field trip!" Very Cute! Before the wedding we spent a few days with my TMC soccer buddy Krissi(Trower)Olmstead near Seattle. We had so much fun hanging out with her and her kids. Then after the wedding we spent 4 days with the WA Waldecks for some cousin time as well! Their house is one big park for us, so it's always a treat to spend time and play in the pool, trampoline, swing set, soccer, pickle ball, basketball, and whatever other sport is your fancy! Actually, a highlight for my girls is riding Uncle Steve's lawnmower with him. So are we tired? Yes, but all the memories of a great summer were worth it!
