Busy Summer

Actually, to say that this Summer has been busy, feels like a huge understatement. Jason and I celebrated our 8th Wedding Anniversary! EIGHT years!! I still feel like the luckiest girl in the world. We always take a picture of ourselves on our special day...

We accidentally blinked on this one but I think its cute!
Does it look like Im getting old? Hmmm. If so, maybe its because Ethan keeps doing things like this:
He was running on the river rocks at the creek and slipped. His face slammed down on the next rock and blood was gushing everywhere. I posted this picture because he looks ALOT less beat up here. I swear, having Ethan might just make me go gray before I turn 30!

We spent alot of time at our neighborhood pool and Bella is now a great swimmer. Poppy and Mimi bought swimming lessons for her again this year. She can jump in the pool and swim down to the bottom to pick up toys! Here she is with her instructor, Karen.

Bella also performed in her very first ballet recital. (Second girl from the left) She did such a great job and she was so pretty! The best part was that she got a trophy. We are very proud of her.

We spent the fourth of July in Arkansas with Jason's family. As always we had a wonderful time! There was homemade icecream (amazing) and lots of quality family time. The very best part was when Aunt Linda came out with curlers in her hair and scared Ethan. He covered his eyes everytime she came close which made us laugh so hard.

Back in February, we bought tickets to the Schermerhorn to see Diana Krall. It was such an amazing performance. Diana Krall is my favorite! She sang some songs from her new album and 3 or 4 Nat King Cole covers. Very romantic night- thank you Jason!!

I'll leave you with some recent fishing pictures. This is the kids favorite thing to do with their daddy!

We had a great summer and I hope that you did too! Big things ahead for us- Bella starts school in 2 weeks and its going to be just me and my boys during the day. I've been crying about it alot but Im also so happy for her. Kindergarten is going to be so fun- but I will save that for another post!
