Our Summer

So the summer of 2012 was not the funnest summer we have ever had.  To make a long story short, owning an extra house that we didn't want, seriously cut into our ability to have fun.  We spent A LOT of time (and money) at the other house fixing it up after it had been trashed.  However, we are making it through it.  Thank heavens we pay our tithing-I know that's the main reason we have been able to make it through this trial.  Anyway, we didn't have funds for a lot of extras this year so it was a summer of staying home.  And the kids did surprisingly well!  I was proud of them.

Kool-Aid Stands-they love them and they learned it's all about location.  Grandma Braegger's house is the best spot it town.  They also got creative with their products.  Homemade sugar cookies, cotton candy and fun-da-middle cupcakes were all hot sellers.  And the Kool-Aid, of course.

We made a trip to Kangaroo Zoo.  Two hours of running, jumping and playing wore them out!

 

Just a cute picture of Holden.  Sunglasses and a "tie" shirt.

Of course there was baseball!  We love our baseball nights!  Logan was on the Orioles again this year.  It's so fun to watch him improve.  His team didn't have a very good season, but he still had a lot of fun playing and learned a lot.

Jensen was on the coach pitch Phillies team again.  He is such a good hitter and is going to be great when he gets to Little League.

 That's about it for pictures.  Pretty lame, I know.  Just ask the kids.  They will tell you it was a BORING summer.  I think they were actually kinda glad to go back to school!
