I'm here!

Where have I been all summer...busy! Who ever came up with the quote, "Lazy days of summer," must not have had a life or three very active children. Wow! It has been such a good summer and I can't believe it is coming to a close in two days. A few things that have been keeping us on our toes...


The boys took swimming lessons this year. We were swimming up to 3-4 times a week (pretty much I was a prune for the month of July), so I thought it would be good to get them a little more comfortable with the water. They improved so much this year. By the end the of the swimming season the boys could both jump off the diving board without floaties. Jett can hold his own swimming in the deep end without help, but Bray is not quite there yet. However, he was a little too overconfident when he jumped off the diving board a few weeks ago without me knowing. I had to do a reenactment of a Baywatch episode to get to him...yep, clothes on and shoes when flying when I dove in after him! That's right, super mom was on the prowl...well, minus the part of me missing him jump in...but after that...super:)



Miss Kyla loved swimming too...so much that even when we were home she still wanted to walk around wearing her floaties. No seriously, for hours she would walk around just like this. The girl cracks me up:)



FULL PULL! Of course we had to attend the tractor pull at the fair this year. Kyla's first appearance and she LOVED IT. It was a long day, but the Cripe Pulling Team came in with 2 firsts and a second.

We've been spending a lot of time outside enjoying the awesome weather while it lasts. What is a summer without skinned up knees, scavenger hunts, muddy shoes and tons of mosquito bites.


I'm going to give a little shout out for my brother, Lee Snider. He is the new principle at Harrison Elementary in Warsaw. So one day we took a little field trip to see Uncle Lee's new school and office. I'm so proud of him and I know he is going to do a great job!!!!



So that's pretty much it. One very busy summer wrapped up in fun:) As I reflect on the summer's awesomeness I am reminded of how lucky I am to be able to stay home and enjoy these memories with my kids. Life is good!
