The Dentist

Harper had her first Dentist Appointment with her daddy's dentist.
She had her teeth cleaned, checked, and checked again!
She did great...especially b/c she got a prize in the end!

July Birthdays

We celebrated a few birthdays this July.
First, we made cupcakes for Audrey and then went to an indoor trampoline park to play!

Harper loved making them!

After jumping, we hit up Old Chicago for lunch!

The next weekend, we celebrated Emerson's Birthday with Queen Elsa.


The next day, we hit up Bryce's Safari Party!








What a fun month celebrating our friends!

Pool Time!

This summer, we spent a lot of time in the pool.
Harper started swim lessons...survival swimming.
We took her everyday (M-F), 10 minutes a day, for 5 weeks.
She was great.  The first few lessons she didn't want to be in the pool for long...but after that first week, she was loving it!
It was a bit of a challenge for us, but it was so worth it!
(See swim videos at the bottom)
Her last day, Harper did swim lessons in winter clothes.
They like to do this so she is comfortable swimming in her clothes, in case she were to ever fall in while in regular clothes.  She had on a sweater, jeans, and shoes! 

We love Ms. Erin with Starfish Swimmers!

Now, Harper wasn't the only one in the pool this summer!
We also got in the water babies.
Dad sure does have his arms full.
The boys love being in the water...and they have a pretty good time.
The only challenge is Harper no longer uses floatation devices to swim, so we have to make sure one adult has the boys and the other is focusing on Harper.

Everyone outside!  Even Eli!
Showing off how they float!

Summer Splash Pad

This summer, Bossy and her friend Karen got a little creative.  They discovered a DIY splash pad and I agreed that it would be a great way to beat the heat!  We ventured on over to Bossy's house to test out the new "Splash Pad".




Houston clearly loves it!
He is my water boy!









Tons of fun had by all!
