A Little of This

I'm not sure where June went. We kept relatively busy in June. Here's a glimpse of how we spent our days.

The month started off with swimming lessons. I was so amazed with this year's lessons. I took the kids to a different place this year. The results were amazing. In a nutshell, we started lessons with one child terrified of water, two that couldn't swim a lick and two kids that were good swimmers. We ended our session with two excellent swimmers and two additional kids who can now swim all on their own. No one is terrified of water.



The kids all attended Bible school. What a great experience for them! The "concert" the put on at the end of the week was so much fun!
 
This is just Carson's and Owen's group.


There was the morning where snails invaded our driveway, basketball camp for the three boys, PeeWee golf for Carson and Owen, and Father's day was somewhere in the mix, too.


We also spent a lot of evenings and an occasional Saturday morning at the Tball fields. Go Honey Badgers!



The kids and I also squeezed in a few days at the pool.

Busy

I keep busy. It's a way of life for me and my kids.

I realize I'm no different than so many moms out there. I feel like I'm on the go all the time. Activities are good for (my) kids. Keeping kids active while having fun is always the best kind of activity to have. Here's a few "activities" my four kids are involved in at the moment…

Gymnastics for the Littles.

Gymnastics for the Bigs.

And a little basketball to round things out.

And when the kids aren't doing their "activities" they are busy playing at home, with friends, or are at school and preschool.

Oh, to be young again and so full of energy!

We're playin' Bas-ket-ball. We're playin' Bas-ket-baaall!

Carson and Owen are now playing on a basketball team. It's a league in Wichita called FunBall. They seem to be enjoying it. Carson and Owen have always liked shooting hoops. We quickly learned that basketball is much more than just shooting hoops. At first I was convinced that we were all in over our heads. Now that we have a few practices and games under our belt things are getting better.

We chose this league for the boys because they really do teach the game to kids. During basketball games the refs will not only point the kids in the right direction, but will correct them when a mistake is made or whistle has been blown. Hands on learning. Most important is that Carson and Owen are learning to appreciate a game and are having a lot of fun in the process.

It's game time.
