June wrap-up...

June was a pretty crazy month.  It's already July and I never got around to wrapping up all the June things. So, here it goes…

We did a little boys vs. girls movie night.  The boys saw Million Dollar Arm and they both raved about it.  Chris said it was the best movie he's seen in a long time.photo 12f37990-1a26-42a1-a631-70bcb0386ead_zps9fbf27d6.jpg
Ashlyn didn't really want to sit through an entire movie about baseball so she and I saw Maleficent.  Loved it!  Growing up, Sleeping Beauty was always my favorite princess movie and to see the back story on Maleficent was a really cool perspective.

Also, it has been mentioned, more than once, that Ashlyn is my twin.  The matching glasses were unintentional but only support that opinion even more.

I love that Chris' job is flexible and often allows him to work from home.  I also love that when my plans for the day are cancelled at the last minute, and I end up having a free morning, he takes me out for breakfast.  Seriously, breakfast dates are totally underrated.  photo a23bdb17-8bc3-4b85-a4b0-d76a19411369_zpsf659bc94.jpg
Landon finished up baseball at the beginning of June and his team went undefeated!  Overall, I'd say he had an awesome first season.  He's already talking about next year!

As I mentioned previously, this guy had a birthday  and I got to spend the whole day with him, the one my soul loves…photo 79bd5e6c-018f-4c94-91ab-2620356538af_zps0a875aa9.jpg
During the last week of school I messed up my back pretty badly.  I could barely move and ended up laid up in bed on pain killers and muscle relaxers.  One day, Landon crawled into bed with me to keep me company.  He is the sweetest… I think I'll keep him.  photo 9c33fd62-d268-4fcf-a359-620005ed5044_zps1fb4d323.jpg
Chris and I got out for a much needed date night and saw an amazing movie.  Most book to movie adaptations don't do the book any justice but this one was pretty stellar.  I loved it and, true to form, I cried throughout the movie.  So so good!photo a6ce19ca-0fb2-42ff-bab4-10adca9d99d1_zps7c6c235f.jpg
While Ashlyn was at swim team practice Landon and I decided to play a little baseball.  photo 6bdc5a60-7ac2-4c29-a120-4e9eea2dfc4c_zpsa6b523ea.jpgphoto cac41fda-0b9e-43c6-a6fe-cb20a714f94d_zps4c5e672a.jpg
We took turns seeing how far we could hit the ball...photo e9f1c341-f3ef-4cb5-8a2d-85ad0c5f708b_zps64b2aca0.jpgphoto 15f79823-f828-44ff-97d2-c5c2765c16ac_zpsca927d50.jpg
and we had so much fun that we continued the game with Landon's friend and his little brother.

Gavin and I covered the outfield while Landon and Nathan were up to bat…

Ashlyn relaxed under a nearby tree because she "doesn't do baseball"

She does, however, do froyo.  I mean really, who doesn't?!

We have spent a great deal of time at the pool this year.  The scent of sunscreen and chlorine have been a constant presence.

Until recently, it hasn't really been warm enough for me to actually get in the water but I ended up jumping in after a day of triple digit temps.  The kids and I had races, Ashlyn worked on some of her strokes, and we had cannonball wars.

In addition to the pool we have done a lot of relaxing (this is my happy place)…

where Landon's typically messy eating style resulted in a radioactive Don Quixote mustache…

we spent a day celebrating Brenden's 3rd birthday...

and I finally got to catch up with my best friend!

Overall, it's been a blast!  I am LOVING this summer!
