We found homes for our kittens and decided to keep one. He's a very sweet and laid back boy. He lets Gianna do whatever she wants to him and doesn't mind at all. We named him Dusty. Everyone is shocked that Josh let them have another cat! They grew so attached to him and Daddy didn't want to break their hearts.
Josh put up the pool, but after 2 years of it sitting it had a few holes in it. We found a bigger pool on sale so we upgraded. It's been so nice with the hot days.
Gianna can touch and now she is swimming under water. She is taking in a lot of water too :)
We swam at my mom's neighbors a few times with the cousins
They wish they could all have these from Cabela's- not going to happen in the living room ;)
we made and decorated cookies
Making fun inside games. This was a track for a remote control dirt bike
This was Gianna's ticket booth for Finding Dory
movie nights
One week we watched three different cousins. Emerie spent the night on Monday and they all slept in Hudson's room.
On the Wednesday, we kept Grayson. He is my cousin Adam's baby, who is 7 months old.
Gianna helped out a lot and he was a very good baby. It had been a while since I've watched a baby, but everything went well.
On Friday and Saturday, Nash and Jetta were with us.
It was a summer of learning and reinforcing for us. Sometimes we get away from things, so I focused on a few areas over the summer. Chores was one of these things. They did pretty well when it came to their assignments. Hudson also took out the garbage, collected eggs. Gianna folded towels and picked up laundry. Together they picked up dishes, fed the cats and cleaned.
After VBS, I was encouraged to read the Bible to them more. We did a daily devotion and Hudson would read out the Bible.
Hudson is learning how to tie his shoes, but he still needs some practice
We got him a texting app on his tablet, now he can text his family members
Gianna learned how to write her name and spell Russo
I got her a workbook to do for the summer and she did the whole thing in one day! I think she will do just fine in school.
We started getting ready for school a few before with uniforms, new shoes and school supplies
Took them for yogurt after going to several shoe stores
Gianna was so excited that she slept with her lunch box
Gianna helped sharpen pencils for her supplies
Hudson had orientation last Thursday night. He is in 2nd grade with Mrs. Phillips.
On Saturday, Gianna had her orientation. She is in Kindergarten with Mrs. Spears.
Did our lunch prep Sunday night for Monday morning
Nana B & Paw Paw took everyone out on Saturday night for a back to school bash. We played arcade games, laser tag then ate Chinese.
It was my family's first time playing laser tag. It was a lot of fun! Gianna didn't like it because it was so dark and she was crying. Hudson didn't like it at first, but then he got use to it.
We were split up into two teams and played against each other
We had a great summer, it just went by too fast!!
