Summer so far...
Its been a fun filled, full summer so far, at least the next few weekends ease up for us. Franki and Tyler were in a wedding in June. It was a beautiful wedding of one of Tyler';s college friends and Franki looked and played the flower girl so well! She is a proud little lady in life and she was just so happy to walk and smile! Each weekend we usually also either make a pool stop or set the pool up in our mini front yard. The weekend after the wedding we went camping all the way from winfield to wheaton! It was great. The girls absolutely loved it! We fished, set up our tent, had a fire, read some books, cooked smores and just enjoyed the outdoors. It was the perfect little getaway and the girls did so good! They slept well and thought being in the tent was the COOLEST thing ever. Franki has asked about it every weekend since! Then it was the fourth of July. Last year we did not have a parade or fireworks because of the drought. So this year we went all out. I took friday off so we have a long four day weekend to spend together! We went to the fourth of July parade, fireworks, ate ribs and just played. Oh yeah and Franki fell down a full flight of stairs (she was ok, thank goodness). We just enjoyed our time together, went swimming, went fishing and took walks, worked on Franki;s bike riding skills! Then this weekend I went to Bon Jovi and we had a city wedding on saturday. It has been full on packed. Franki also started swimming lessons and has been awesome. She really surprises us sometimes. I always say she has more of a timid personality when it comes to doing things, but this girl has made skills when it comes to learning new things especially when it comes from other people, In this case a highschooler. Franki has made leaps and bounds in the swimming pool! Just a few weeks ago she was hated getting her face wet even in the bath, now she is jumping the the water getting her face wet! She also loves going! Addi on the other hand would jump in the depe end if you let her, so I am sure I need swimming lessons for her starting soon!
Fun loving summer with friends and family! We are really blessed to be the parents of these beautiful babies!
