Leave It To the Beavers: Summer time!

Summer is in full swing at the Beaver household and we are loving it. Let's see, what have we been up to lately? I'll try not to go so long between post again. It seems like we are packing a lot into our schedule these days, making it hard to remember and recap it ALL.
Amelia finished up for second year of preschool. We are looking forward to both kids being at ABC together starting in the fall. This will be Amelia's last year in preschool before Kindergarten. :(

Asher had to get in the pic too. Do you love his boots?

Asher had his first real dentist visit, with a visit from the binky fairy that night. No more binks in our house!!

Big Boy!

Leaving his binkies outside for the binky fairy.

The binky fairy took his binks and left a big boy bike!

Amelia continues to do great in T-ball, while Asher is loving it as well, because Missy took him the concession stand, he now believes there is a candy store at the T-ball games. Thanks Missy.

First game!

Love it.

Sweet boy.

Amelia and Eli

Run!

So cute!

We've made a couple of trips to Silver Dollar City already this summer. Which always makes for a great day!

Smile!

I love that they can ride together now.

Nathan and I have tackled a few house improvement projects and we finally have furniture for our upstairs. No more eating dinner in our bedroom so we could watch tv. :) We are looking forward to having people over more and making lots of great memories in our home.

FURNITURE!!!

We are Friend of the Zoo, which means we purchased an annual pass for our family to the zoo. They have a yearly, members only night, with free popcorn and tons of fun. It was a GREAT time. I'm so glad we decided to go after much debate!

Look at A's tongue.

Checking out the elephants.

Family selfie.

Both kids started swim lesson recently. I want them to be good swimmers, without being fearful of the water. They are doing such a great job. It's really something to sit and watch your children excel at something without your assistance. It's hard to explain, but while I was watching Amelia last week I just sat there and smiled because she was doing something huge, on her own.

First class.

Practicing blowing bubbles.

Reach and pulls.

We took a fun trip with another couple and their kid to St. Louis. I'll try and do an entire post on that, because I took a lot of pictures and we crammed a lot in two days. :)
We celebrated both Mother's and Father's Day since my last posting as well. Being a mom is a joy. When I was a little girl my dream was to grow up and be a mom. Now I'm grown up and I'm a mom. Some days it's the MOST challenging thing I have ever done, while other's it's the most rewarding thing ever. LOVE my family.
