Goodbye Summer...


I can't believe summer is over! Shaelyn starts Kindergarten tomorrow and as I expected the carefree days of no schedule passed by way too quickly! But, we definitely made the most of them and had an awesome summer! All three of the kids we're at such fun ages this summer. Each one learning new things and able to do so much more than last summer.

As evident by the green hair, the highlight of the summer was the pool. We rarely went more than 2 or 3 days without being at a pool. (I know I have a rough job!) Monreau is now swimming completely on her own and diving well. Shaelyn has perfected her dive and is starting to work on a few strokes. McLleyton went from very hesitant in the water to really enjoying it!

A few other highlights of this summer were...
Camping Trip with Grandpa & Grandma
McLleyton learning to walk (and now run!)
Monreau learning to ride a tag-a-long bike
Uncle John & Aunt Kelly's Wedding
4th of July Fireworks
The Pontoon Boat
Swimming in Lake MI
The Zoo trip with Aunt Emily
Captain Sundae's Ice Cream
Loftin's & Jonker's week @ the Cottage
The amazing sunny & HOT weather
My dates with the girls
Fun days with friends & cousins
And so much more :)

Here's a few pictures from our last weekend of summer!

Labor Day weekend started off cold and windy! It definitely felt like summer had ended... but then it warmed back up :)
My two favorite boys...


Matt's good friend from HS and Brian Gannon (Truly & Aiden) were in Holland for the weekend, it was fun catching up for an afternoon!
John & Darren battled the HUGE Lake MI waves ...
Aunt Kelly (quickly becoming the Aunt of the year :)) surprised the girls with real beauty queen crowns (that she had won in pageants!) ...
Monreau modeling hers...
One last fun swim...
Thanks Nanny for always keeping the pool so warm & clean for us!
Being silly with daddy! Monreau has NO fear!
Monreau and her circus tricks...

Time to jump into fall...
Goodbye summer!
