A package from Nana and Pa

They were SO excited to have a package for them on the front porch!

Nana went shopping! She got them tons of long sleeve shirts! We were all so excited to receive this package! Thanks Nana and Pa.

Last swim of the year...

Trent and Madison had some sort of conversation about swimming before school the other day. Trent must have told her that he might take her swimming because the first thing she said when I picked her up was, "Can we go swimming now?" I sent Trent a text (he was still in football practice) to prepare him for his last swim of the season. Right after dinner we headed to the pool. I sat this one out. :)


Cooper was prepared for our last swim of the year...

You gotta love when grandparents go shopping! We are so thankful that Nana and Pa sent us all these long sleeve shirts! Thank you Nana and Pa!
*Madison has worn a few, even in the 86 degree weather!

And finally...the homecoming game! The kids had such a good time. They were super excited to see their Daddy afterwards. The Warriors won! Yay.

Cooper loves coloring with his sister

Gymnastics

Madison has started taking gymnastics. She LOVES it! Our neighbor is a year and a half older than Madison and gave us several of her old gymnastics suits. She goes once a week for 45 minutes!

Homemade Dip-n-Dot Ice Cream

Michael and Kara decided it would be a great idea to get Cooper a dip-n-dot ice cream maker for his birthday! They got it so they could eat it but we never made any at the party. We did, however, make it a few days later...after having Madison beg us every day. We made strawberry per Cooper's request.

They had to let it freeze over night! This was the final result. It was ok. Next time we make it, we are going to try it with milk. Thanks Michael, from Madison and Cooper!
