Connor Visit Part #2

Thursday was a hang-out in the morning day...just doing a little jammin on the guitar...


and mid-morning we headed up to see Mommom Ritter.  Nothing like having 3 active kiddos in a small apartment, but it was okay :)


We had a nice lunch at Applebees, met up with my mom for a wander-around-Target and then headed home for naps.  Laura and I took the kids to the pool that evening, and Chloe will proudly tell you that she jumped in and can breathe under water...with Aunt Laura.  No One Else.


Friday we did bubbles and outside playing in the morning...a Pinterest idea that actually worked - covered the cut-off end of a water bottle with an old washcloth, dipped it in bubbles, and then the kids blew through the top of the bottle.  It created a bubble...blob :) and it was fun!



Uncle Kevin got a new helper with the lawn cutting!

This was probably around 11 in the morning...and it was already 85 degrees. Hot Hot Hot.


Since Kevin had the day off, we took advantage and during lunch met up with my mom and sister to celebrate our birthday.  Our waitress was nice to put a candle in the cheesecake we ordered!



On Saturday, we hung out at home....then went to a spray-park after grabbing some lunch at Wendy's.  The spray part of the park wasn't working (motor broken) so we just played on the Hot Hot Hot playground instead.  These children could care less than it's 95 degrees! There are fun things to do!  Chloe did take a short break to hang with Aunt Laura in the shade... 

These two partners-in-crime wanted nothing to do with taking breaks....



While I had given Kevin a hard time for not coming with us, it turns out he was hard at work cleaning and prepping for a birthday dinner at our house!  My parents and sister came down and we had a fun time celebrating!




There were cupcakes for the kiddos....and those cupcakes were enjoyed. and devoured.




Bedtime stories were getting more and more crowded :)  The more the merrier I say!

It was so so much fun to have Connor come stay with us - I want to do it again next summer! :)

More Bloopers

These pictures just make me laugh ~ especially the last two. I have a feeling that Aunt Laura, in particular, will think those last two are funny also. :)

A dear friend

I'm leading the study tomorrow at my Bible Study. We're reading a book called Crazy Love by Francis Chan and the chapter I'm in 'charge of' of real life examples of people who are living completely for Christ. I've come up with an example from my own life to talk about and I thought I'd let my blog readers in on what I'm going to share tomorrow. Enjoy! I met Mrs. Hohman on a hot July afternoon after mistakenly knocking on her neighbor’s door. I stood on her front porch with my mom, nervously waiting to meet the woman I planned on living with for my first year at Grove City . I felt like I was towering over her short frame as she showed me the 3 rd floor and barked the rules of “no swearing, no smoking, no boys”. I handed over my rent check and moved to her house in late August. September came and a fellow freshman had a mental breakdown and her bed was now available to me…… So, after 3 weeks of living with Mrs. Hohman I moved out....
