SUMMER!!

Summer is here!!  It's officially summertime!  Which means busy busy busy...but in a good way!  No work to worry about, just good old summer fun!  I plan on blogging everyday again BUT my computer (AKA Mackie) is a little slow and gives me some trouble.  So I plan to blog everyday but we have to see if Mackie will cooperate.

Sunday was Jacqie's wedding shower.  Everything was perfect.  The food was delicious and she got a TON of great things to get her and Nick started!  

Monday was swim lessons and then afterwards we went to Aunt Irene's house to do some swimming with the family.  We had a great time!  The kids are getting so big and they love to play together.

Oliver loved the water and was livin' the life!  He got to relax in the water while Great Grandma fed him his bottle right in the pool.

Claire and Oliver had fun splashin' around in the rafts.

Then after a quick nap we headed to lacrosse.  Yes, Claire plays lacrosse now!  She is the youngest kid on the Mini Monsters team (Mark knows the coach and worked his baby into the program).  She LOVES it!

We have a little trouble keeping the goggles in place, but she loves her mouth guard. 

Claire does great with the drills!  Last week they worked on drills, which worked out perfect for her because they were moves that she already knew from dance class (thanks Aunt Jacqie).

Today was their first "game".  Claire did pretty well, the other kids are a little bigger than her so she got a little nervous but she warmed up with some help from her awesome coaches.  Here is Claire getting her goggles fixed for the 30th time and she is probably chatting the poor girl's ear off.

The huddle.  Notice Claire.  She is trying to work her way in.  The poor kid, her hair rubber band snapped and her hair was ALL OVER THE PLACE!

There was a few times during the game that Claire decided to do her own thing.  That is Claire all the way to the right facing the complete opposite direction.  

She tried soooo hard to get the ball (she is all the way to the right)! The coaches helped her out a little and she did score a goal!  And we were totally those parents who jumped out of their chairs and screamed and cheered!  Even Oliver clapped and yelled "YAAAAAA!".  It was super cute!!

Claire loved the high fives between the teams at the end of the game.

Oliver loved watching Claire!  He kept pointing to the field and yelling!  We think he was pointing at Claire and cheering for her but he may be have pointing at the birds and occasionally yelling out "Irdy!" for birdie. He did take a break to drink his bottle and relax.

Claire did such a great job that we took her to Taffy's for some french fries and ice cream afterwards (ooorr we may have bribed her a little bit)! She loves the buffalo there, she gets a kick out of the fact that he is wearing pants.

Mark and I are so excited for summer!  We have a lot planned but mostly we are just excited to relax and spend time with the kids!
