What We Did {June}

It's June!

Summer is here and we couldn't be happier!

Despite our busy month,

there aren't many pictures to show.

Mostly because we (meaning I) have been too busy

enjoying the awesome summer weather to remember to pick up a camera.

But I did remember to pull it out on Father's Day.

Brett is such a great dad.

These kids (and their mama) sure love him!

We went to the drive-in and saw Monsters University.

I don't know if it's because I grew up

going to the drive-in with my family or what,

but it's one of my favorite summer activities.

Lately, Macy and I have loved checking on Coleman

during nap time because he's always doing something funny.

Like this.

And this.

A big chunk of our month went to getting this baby ready to go.

Brett and I (mostly Brett)

finished the family room area in our basement 

so I can start my preschool this fall.

It was a lot of work, and we still have a few finishing touches to work on,

but we are super excited to have it done.

Incentive

I'm pretty sure I've mentioned it before,

but just in case I haven't,

let it be known that Coleman

HATES haircuts.

The only way we can even sort of get him to sit still(ish)

for a haircut is to give him some sort of incentive

of his choosing.

Today he chose swimming.

Fresh out of the torture chamber haircut chair.

If you look close, you can see all the hair still on his back. 

MUCH happier.

(And in a swim suit instead of underwear...nice.)

Ode to Our Swingset

Brett and I joke that we bought our house 

because of the swing set.

Of course there were some other factors that 

went into the decision,

but the swing set was definitely a selling point.

Not only is it great for swinging,

and entertaining the kids before dinner

(and after dinner, and before bed, and after church...)

it also makes a great water slide,

and a catapult for major pool splashes.

It's a place to think and relax, 

and helps adults preform awesome, kid entertaining tricks.

Not sure how we ever survived without one.
