Avery took swim lessons every morning for 2 weeks straight and is quite the little swimmer now. She can back float, underwater swim and the "reach & pull".
We had our sprinkler system extended to include our flower beds. It only did the grass before and we had to be out there every night to water our plants. I am LOVING it. All you have to do is push a button and all our flowers, trees and vegetables are taken care of! Yeah, more time to play!
Almost every Friday night of the summer the ice cream truck drives through our neighborhood. Avery has ears like a cat. She can hear that thing a good 5 minutes before anyone else can! We all love the treats it brings.
Mr. Blake, running through the sprinkler.
Last weekend Brian left us for a trip to Dallas to see a couple of his buddies that live there. My mom & I decided to take the opportunity to go down to Medford to visit my Nana. We all had a great time swimming in her pool & going on a couple of fun outings.
Avery, perfecting her back float.

Fire engine fun at the mall.
This was on an old rail car at an outdoor train museum. The had the most fun little steam train that you sat on & it gave you rides. (Didn't get a picture of it though).
Avery & Signe on the way to Build-A-Bear.
I also ran my very first 10k in July. It was the Go Girl Trail Run in Forest Park, Portland. It was by far the most difficult, physical activity that I've ever done and I am so proud of myself!
A couple videos, just for fun.Hope you all are enjoying your summer as much as we are.

Great pics Vanessa! You should be proud of yourself for running that 10K! I can't imagine. In the pool pic of Avery doing the back float she looks like she is getting tall! Where are the kids taking gymnastics?
Wow! Great blog! So much to see and comment on!
First off you are SO lucky the ice cream man only comes on Friday! At my old house he would sort of park outside till we came out. I think we financed a house for him. lol
Love the back float of Avery! That is darling. :) She is such a water girl! She is going to love Wild Waves some day!
Blake's smile looks so much like Avery's in the Children's Museum picture. Such a cutie. Brian loves seeing him at Costco.
And super fantastic job on your run! You are right to be proud of yourself! :)
Hope Brian had a great vacation!
Great Blog, Thanks for sharing!
So much fun! Good to catch up on what's been going on. July has flown by.
