Bedroom Updates

Rylyn and Carter each got new bedspreads for their big girl rooms this summer (we were trying to get them excited about going to school and being big girls now).  We cleaned out thier rooms, donated items, gave items to cousins, and just cleaned up so we would be clutter free for the new school year. They were so excited that they got new bedding and were happy now that they had "pretty" rooms.  They cleaned their rooms and loved sitting on their new beds.  I haven't seen their rooms this clean since, but oh well. 

5k with Lesli

Lesli and I ran in the Fort Collins Public Radio 5k in July.  Lesli is a new runner and wanted to run her first race over the summer.  We had been running together over the summer to prepare for her first big race.  We were getting up and meeting to run at 6:00am three days a week and keeping each other accountable.  We ran the race together and finished in 33 minutes.  Great job Lesli!  We rewarded ourselves with a little iced coffee beverage after the race. 

Backyard summer fun

The girls love filling up the little pools in the yard and playing with their toys at home.  We had quite a few days this summer just chilling in the yard.  They also took swim lessons and got some practice going underwater and doing back floats.  Carter really did not like putting her face in the water and was a bit of a challenge to the swim teacher-she kept saying, "I don't want to."  Rylyn on the other hand, was the perfect swim student.  They both liked the lessons and were much more confident when we went to the neighborhood pools.
