Justin is working at a financial firm learning the ins and outs of the company - He is really enjoying it and plans on continuing with it as his career
Keely is having a blast being home - she misses school and tells me that she "doesn't like change" but that she "loves, loves summer!" This is her "Daaaaaddd" 'don't be obnoxious look'...He gets it a lot these days :)
We are spending tons of time at the library seeing all their free shows and Keely can't get enough of reading small chapter books - she read this one cover to cover in about 45 minutes.
We bought a trampoline for the kids (and if we are being honest...for Justin too cause he's out there when ever he can be ;) Best money we've ever spent! Love it!
Family time has never been easier - and it really is toughening up our kids already (a big sneaky agenda of ours behind the jumping fun)
Grandpa has been paying the kids one penny for every dandelion or other weed that they pull from his yard and garden - Asher loves to hold the money in bed at night. Keely loves to pay tithing on her earnings <3>
These two spend so much time together now that K is home for the summer - yesterday she even lifted the ban that has been in place for the past four years about Asher not being allowed in her room! She says he can come in whenever he wants...Mom foresees the rule being back in place in a few weeks...we'll see :)
The sun finally showed up last Mon. and we blew that pool up so fast to enjoy the 2 days we got before a week of storms - water guns are the new excitement around here...namely, water gun fights :)
Of course, hiking whenever we can - we rarely go on the same trail twice
Rock climbing in the backyard
Being silly is a constant state of these two lately - gummies on the nose led to red stained noses for the entire next day - we do not recommend it
Spending time with my rugrats is great, but of course, I especially love going to the theater with Keely - and now that Asher is old enough we might have to get season tickets to the Children's Theater too :)

I'm so jealous of that trampoline!! It's nice to see pictures and hear what you guys have been up to. Miss you all bunches, muah xoxox!!
Adorable! Love you guys!
so much too say about that post! Love the "Daaad don't be obnoxious look" too funny and that is impressive that she can read those books in 45 minutes she is such a brain! LOOOVE the trampoline and so glad you guys were able to get it. And I like that they get money from Grandpa to pick weeds and dandelions it so funny because those are the times of things that kids remember when they get older;) oh and congrats again on the new job!! Hope he continues to enjoy it!
It looks like everyone is busy and having a good time this summer!! We love you so much and miss you terribly...see you all in September!!
