With vacation, then visitng my sister, then camping over the 4th of July weekend, then a bacheloerette party for me, then camping again this past week in Devils Lake State Park, and then having our old neighbors visitng this past weekend, I literally feel like I havent sat down in a month. The month of August wont be much different- as we dont have a free weekend now until Labor Day!
It makes summer go so fast, but the kids have fun and thats what counts. Instead of writing about all of our activities, I'll do a long picture post this time :)
Tate is still the BEST BABY EVER. This kid amazes me. He has slept through the night since 6 weeks old (9-4 or 5 am, eats, then back to sleep until 7 am), never fusses unless hungry or tired, is so relaxed and happy all the time, and has started giggling now. It's so fun to be around him and I just want him to stay this size forever. I think back to Preston at this age, and I was having a tough time. He didn't sleep (ever) and I was always so exhausted. That made it not much fun. I am so glad I am able to enjoy this time with Tate instead of wishing away his babyhood like I did with Preston. Tate turned 3 months old on July 4th, loves cooing and giggling, has started to grab onto objects, and is bound and determined to roll over soon. As soon as you lay him down, he is on his side trying to roll over. He loves tummy time, being outside, and having someone to talk to :) He nurses great and is the best snugglebug. He has been awesome when we have gone camping since he is so laid back. If I could have every baby like him, I would keep having them!
First up, our vacation to Gulf Shores at the end of June with Kyle's family. We rented a house on the beach and had a week of fun in the sun.The kids loved it, and I would love to go back as it is so family friendly and the beach was awesome.
Tate and Preston's first flight. At 5:50 am!!
We made it. The first thing they did was get their suits on and get in the water.
We toured Fort Morgan, which was used in the WWII, it was pretty cool, and Preston loved the cannons.
At the Wharf in Orange Beach- an outdoor mall and eating area.
At the aquarium on Washington Island. We took a ferry ride across the gulf to the Island and spent some time at the beach, and then the guys toured another fort while Preston, Tate, and I went to the aquarium.
Mekenna and Reese at Fort Morgan.
At the Naval Air Force Museum in Pensecola, Fl. It was amazing. Probably my favorite thing we did on vacation. It was HUGE, free, and really cool to see all the planes.
Vising my sister and the kids. Watermelon monsters.
Fourth of July weekend camping. Making smores.
Big boy turned 3 months on July 4th!

Camping at Devils Lake State Park, spending most of our time at the beach
This past weekend we had our old neighbors from Indy visit us (minus their two oldest boys). They had never been to Wisconsin so we packed as much into Saturday as we could. Madison Farmers Market, State Street, Capitol tour, beer on the Terrace/Mendota Lake, and lunch at Ians Pizza. We then came back to New Glarus and toured the brewery. We made them eat brats and cheese curds and we had such a FUN day with them!

Ok, so thats a recap of our last month. Busy, right?! Reese is in tennis (her last one is tonight), swim lessons, and softball, and Preston is doing swim lessons. In August they are doing vacation bible school and Reese is doing a soccer camp, along with both doing swim lessons. I registered them both for school today (1st grade and 4K) and they couldnt be more excited for September 1 to roll around!! I'll be ready for a break by then too ;)
