It's been awhile!!!!!

Sorry I haven't posted in a while. We have been busy--not really with anything in particular, just trying to enjoy summer. I can't believe school starts in 2 weeks already. So, let's see what have we been up to?

The kids finished up swimming lessons for the year. Meghan ended up at level 2, Brendan was still at level 4 (really hard level), and Katie is going to pass up big brother soon--she just passed into level 4 also. Well, we will see what happens next year.

We also did a 5K Family Fun Walk/Run on post. It was a lot of fun. Brendan actually ran--he completed it in 31 min which I think is pretty good for his age and it being his first 5K. The rest of us walked--well Katie and I did--Dillan rode in the stroller and Meghan rode on her Kiddyboard on the back. Here's a picture right before we started.Brendan really liked running and he is going to do a Triathlon on 25 Aug. They are having one on post for the kids. In his age bracket, he will run 1K, bike 2 miles, and swim 100 meters. He is really excited about it and I think he will do really well. I'll keep you posted of his results once he has completed it.

Brendan went to a soccer clinic all last week. He had a great time and really worked on some of his soccer skills which serve him well during soccer season. All 3 big ones will be playing (of course on different teams) beginning the first week of September. AAHHH the craziness of having young children. It should be fun!

Brendan will be attending Cub Scout day camp this weekend--it runs from Friday- Monday. They attend each day and spend the night on Saturday night. No, I'm not going with him this time. He's in Webelos now so he is old enough to go just with his den! YAY!!!!

I do have other kids besides Brendan, it just seems as if the past few activities have been focused on him. I guess other than that we have just been hanging out and enjoying playing for the summer. Here are some pictures of the kids out in the yard.

My "soldier" Brendan. That stuff was so heavy that he was laying on the floor and couldn't get back up!! It was funny. But, he loves to play with Daddy's stuff.

Dillan loves his slide, but he looks really concerned in this picture. I'm not sure what was going on there.

Not sure what's up with this silly Katie. I always knew she was strange:)

Silly skater. He always wants to do what the big ones are doing.

And finally we have Meghan--Miss we don't have a pool so I will make my own.
