I really think it should be Summertime all year long.
Is there anything better than Sunshine,Popsicles and your babies running thru the water all day? I love this time of the year more than any other. We play all day, camp, swim, stay up late and just have fun.

I have to admit I don't get much else done but HEY life is way to short to not play while you have the chance. Speaking of that....the phone rang the other night and when I answered it the man asked for Lauren. The kids never get calls on our home phone so I asked "who is calling and can I tell her what it is about?" He replied "This is BLAH BLAH BLAH with the U.S Navy calling to set up an appointment to try and recruit her."
As you can imagine I blanked out for a split second...OH! He said MAN don't sound to excited. I just laughed and told him Wow that was the first time I realized our life will be changing. The first time it really hit me that She will be starting a new chapter in her life. So after that call I just sat thinking about how fast life can just pass you up. All 4 kids seem to be growing up way to fast. As much as I try to shield them from the world I also have to remember part of life is growing and learning. This has been such a hard year for me because it is the first time I have let both girls make decisions on their after school activities. I wanted both of them to stay with it and put up with the stuff they complained about. But both had very good reasons for not wanting to move ahead. I feel like at some point they may regret the choices they have made but at the same time how will they ever learn to make choices and life decisions if I keep telling them what they need to do.
Anyways......since it is Summer I have to jump off of here and go grill burgers!

Take a look at our cucumber...they are huge and we get to pick 1 everyday!

The little girls made these shirts this week. I LOVE SUMMER!
