Westport Beach

 

 

We had so much fun traveling to the Nugent Family Reunion in Westport. 

It was a beautiful few days spending time with each other on the beach.  

 

 

New gate

Have I ever told you we have awesome neighbors.  We do.  

This summer the kids have been playing a lot with the neighbor boy and we had this marvelous idea to put a gate between our fences so they could go back and forth between yards.  I can now see into their yard from the kitchen windows and the kids could not be MORE excited.  I know so many memories are going to be made in the years to come playing together outside.

 Um...as to Jett's outfit.  Well, we swam at the neighbors house and he went to change and came back in this pajama mix...in the middle of the day.

He's awesome, right?  No fear.

Does Seri look SUPER tall or what?  Wow.  

*******************************************

No, Clara is NOT in timeout.  

She spent hours like this today.

Staring at shadows.  

Yep, she's a tad strange but boy do we love her.  

Beautiful Day

Yesterday was a beautiful HOT day.  We headed out to my parents to swim for the first time this summer. 

 

I am blogging during our daily "rest time".  

For an hour we all find a comfy and cozy spot to rest, read or draw.  So calm and quiet.  

Ahhh.

I am having a hard time keeping my eyes open.

Oh, how I love summer.

School's Out for Summer!

Seriously, I have that song in my head. 

Just that part...

SCHOOL'S OUT FOR SUMMA!

We celebrated with a backyard hotdog roast, soccer and ice cream cones!

Let the summer begin!

Our Weekend.

After much thought I decided to just stay home and relax this weekend instead of heading out on a day adventure.  I am so glad we did.  The kids spent A LOT of their time outside building forts, playing in the sprinkler, using their imagination and just being "kids".  It was wonderful.

 Crazy kids.

 BAM!  ZAP!

 Is she not the cutest thing ever?

Super-duper weekend!
