Summer has begun!!!


And we have been busy!!

I am so excited for this summer. We are going to have so much to do, I'm going to make those little nubits looking forward to bedtime each night. LOL

The kids and I started last week with a visit to Portland Nursery. It was fun just to walk around and look at the different plants, flowers, trees, statues, etc. And then the kids each got to pick out a little plant to take home. We went looking for a St. Francis statue for Pat, but of course one can never find one when they actually want one.
Then we headed over to Laurelhurst park to eat lunch by the pond and play at the playground. What a gorgeous day it was!

Monday we went to Central Library and got Ryan his first library card. :D Ryan and Briauna both signed up for a summer reading program through the library, so they're pretty excited about that. They're reading constantly so they can color off another square on the chart.

Monday night we all went to Patrick's soccer game. He plays Monday nights at 7, but they're all in different locations so if you'd like to watch one let us know and we can get you the field info.

(Pat is the dude in the red and black).

Briauna made friends fast, so she had a blast. I was glad, I was worried about the boredom monster rearing its ugly head. LOL

And when Ryan wasn't busy with his Indiana Jones legos, he was sitting buddha-like near the trees contemplating mans exsitence on earth (or something very similar to that, I'm sure).

If you want to get together this summer just let me know! I have lots of trips to the park, the beach, bike rides, zoo trips and lots more planned!
