Our Summer so far

Lego Camp - YES I said LEGO camp!!! Can you only imagine how much fun my son had!!!! There is a science program based in CIncinnati that does summer camps based on grade level and different forms of "engineering". Logan went this past week with the 1st and 2nd graders for the Lego FUNdemental engineering camp and had so much fun building all different vehicles and ended the week building a dog that barks and wags its tail. Friday night was a little ceremony where he received a certificate of completion and got to show off his dog. Todd and Logan enjoyed the little presentation and video they took of all the different camps

Visit from cousin Kaylee - the kids LOVE it when Kaylee comes!!! Poor girl has to read, build Legos, play Lego Indiana Jones playstation, watch cartoons and listen to Logan & Lexi bable non stop!!! I am sure she is looking forward to getting back home to rest!!!!!! But we love having her - and Todd and I even took advantage of her and went out for a nice getaway evening friday night! All of us agree she can come back ANYtime!!!!!

Swimming - the kids love it! We have been hanging out at the YMCA outside pool and at the pool at a friend of mine's house (actually Logan's kindergarten teacher) and they are just loving being in the water and Logan is getting really good at swimming! Now if only Lexi could learn to really swim so I could relax more!

My High School Reunion - yes it was that time! And i would like to say thatit was my 10th year reunion but we all know that would be a lie! So my 20 year - yes twenty!!! - reunion was last weekend. Though I only went to the informal get together on Friday night - it still was very entertaining. And best of all - we spent the weekend with one of my dearest friends - Sharon and her hubby Steve and her son Simon. We all had a blast!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Saw some people that I enjoyed seeing again - especially Carianne and Andy - and then relaxing Saturday night playing games at Sharon's house and eating Pizza King pizza!! Yum!!!!!!!!!! To keep with the theme - we played a couple 80's games - one about music and the other trivia from the 80s. You could probably guess that I did really well with the music but not so well with the trivia. I am sure Todd and Steve thoroughly enjoyed Sharon and I breaking into song constantly and singing some of the most obscure songs of the 80s!!

Reading - Logan has decided that he is interested in reading and he is really doing pretty well with it! He has much loftier goals than he is currently ready for - but he is trying! We now have our site word flash cards (thanks Karrie) and he (and Lexi) are enjoying going through them! Even Lexi brought them to me yesterday to do them while Logan was at camp! Now we just really have to work into our days - reading time for him to practice! I am excited about his desire - cause I wasn't sure he was showing as much interest as I thought a kid his age should be... But what do I know!! ;) Of course I will know ALL when Lexi is his age!!!!!!!!!!!!

Hope you all are well! I need to get onto my picture taking for the summer so I can then post you some pictures of what is going on. And see how those kids are growing!!!!!!!!!!
