Practically caught up!!!!

I really wasn't sure that this day would come, but I think I'm almost caught up on posts!!!!  Here are a few random fun photos (that I didn't feel like putting into individual posts)!

At Leevi's work they had a pie in the face contest and the girls were just enthralled!  I told them that I'd get the supplies and they could get Daddy at home!
 

Leila is not an in-your-face-licky kind of dog, but she definitely wanted in on the clean up!
Crazy kid!
Kai's drawing of our family
She intentionally didn't smile! :)
New frames for the kids' 6 month pictures...I got a good price on eBay and spray painted them.
This is the perfect tent corner...
The girls will sleep in it for a night or so, but Luke equally enjoys playing in it.
She was having a "Grand Opening"
Crazy trampoline static
This has definitely been the warmest summer we've had in Germany (I can't believe that this is our FOURTH summer here!!!)
We go with the Greens each week to the storytime/crafttime at the library...we ride scooters across post (about a 20 min ride), go to storytime, and then have a picnic lunch at a park.  This week the Millers (Ava and Ella) joined us!

A different storytime week with her Flat Stanley
The girls and I had a date night to Despicable Me 2!  I was just as excited as they were to see it!
Jenny and I took Kai and Eli to the USO Sesame Street Experience...they are touring around Europe now to all of the military posts.  It was FREE, but first come, first served and we were really skeptical at what the crowds would be like with limited theatre seating.  We left the 3 big kids (and Luke) with the dads and the Kai and Eli seemed to enjoy their alone time! :)  Tiffany and I took Hailey and Colin to Sesame Street Live oh so many years ago when they were 2 (but it wasn't free!).  We found it funny that the same souvenir toy that I bought Hailey back then (which we still have!) was the one that the USO gave out for free! 

Smooth shopping! 
 He fell asleep looking out the window at the rain...

He loves doing the Potato Head 

They were grilling dinner...wonder what they were talking about! :)
 Our neighbors next door have two adorable Corgis...Scarlet just turned one and Gillian is only 2-3 months old.  The kids have found a spot under the trampoline where they can greet them!
 They are so sweet!!!
Luke is equally obsessed with going over to pet them!
We are definitely enjoying SUMMER!!!!!!!!  So not ready for the back to school grind of sports and homework!!!!!!  Hailey will have soccer twice a week and Kai once but during the day (yay for one less thing to do AFTER school!) And I was able to get them both into the same gymnastics class this year (a 5-7 yr old class...we'll see what happens in Feb when Hailey turns 8, but for now I will enjoy the ease of only one practice (Luke will too!!!!)  And they both will have Awanas on Sunday evenings. 
 My handsome pool boy!!!!!!
An evening swim!!!!  We just took the pool down again yesterday because we have a streak of mid-70's and rain and clouds coming for about a week.  We definitely haven't complained about the glorious amounts of sun we've seen this summer!!!!!
