We love Summer!

Well, I think summer has finally begun! I am soooo thankful for that. This week was the first of two weeks of swimming lessons for Sydney, Emily, and Dylan. This is Syd's first year and has had a blast. She is not afraid of water at all and is doing so good. We decided to go back to the pool on Tues and spent the day. All the kids had fun. Brynlee is also a little fish and had lots of fun playing. We went on the tube slide and Sydney had to go by herself. She was a little bit scared, but loved it after she finally went. Brynlee went down with me and just laughed. We had a great day and didn't get too sunburned.



Dylan is on his last week of baseball. (Yeah) Matthew has one more week. Then they both have playoffs. Emily has been playing coaches pitch and enjoys that. I will be glad when everything is over though and we can spent the nights at home.



I am working at the parade of homes Thurs, Fri, and Sat and then it is over. It has been fun to be a part of and visit with the people who come through. I have loved being home though. I am getting used to it!!! Tonight we, (Peyton, Dylan, Sydney and I) are sleeping out on the trampoline. Hope we get some sleep!!! It should be plenty warm enough! Enjoy!!

Yeah! Matthew caught a fish!!!


Travis, Matthew and Peyton went fishing on Thursday. How much fun did they have?!!! Peyton caught his first fish ever! He was so excited. Thank goodness, they let them all live and didn't bring any home.








"I really want to catch a fish!"




















"Papa Sid, I caught one!"











On Wednesday, we finally got the boat out and went boating at Lamont in Preston. We were the only boat on the whole lake the entire time. It was awsome! All the kids got wet and tried either the tube or the knee board. Peyton even tried to ski and did great for his first time! Yes, even mom got skied, and I didn't even get my hair wet!!!

Hey Everybody, Im just sitting here checking E-mails and doing some paperwork, needing a break from reality for a minute. We have all of our kids this week and are planning some fun activities. Today Travis and all the kids are going to see KungFu Panda, Travis is "Excited", Matthew has a ball game at 6:45 tonight. Tomorrow we have decided to get the boat out and try getting in the cold water, don't think many of the kids will try this, but we will see. Thursday Travis, Matthew and Peyton are going to try and catch a fish, (this will be funny watching).

This picture is just one of the many that Nicole's brother-in-law took of the family, we are currently trying to figure out all of the best ones to get them ordered and delivered, but with busy schedules and all it might take awhile.

Nicole is working for a friend of ours, he is building a 1.8 million dollar house that is in the home show this weekend, and it needs all the help it can get with cleaning, then she is going to work at the home show throughout the duration, as a matter of fact, the only thing that doesn't need help on this house is the electrical, (imagine that).

Well better say good bye for now, hope everybody gets this and enjoys it, we will try to keep it updated, so check back often.

Tomorrow we will take the camera so we can have proof of which kids actually get in the water.

Love the Earl Clan
