Summer series #2

When people ask me how things are going I always say "crazy". I wish I had another answer but our life is insanely crazy with something always going on. Im just thankful we are all healthy.... No, that's cheesy. I'm just thankful I am not in a padded room. 

Ailyn has been working very hard recovering from her surgery. We have had some issues come up and I will make a blog post when I know more. Right now we are doing home PT twice a week and walking as much she can. 

Camden has been growing up fast over the summer. Not sure how it happened. I just notice he's a lot more mature, talks back way more and is being a good big brother to Ailyn. 

Here's our summer in pics 
 
Camden went to Apple camp to learn how to make iMovie. He really enjoyed it. 



Working hard in the therapy pool 

 
 Lots of sleepovers with Bubba 

 

Making friends IN our house 

 

Practicing walking 

 

My BFF gave me a unicorn birthday party. After all, we are unicorns 
 
 
 
 

Ailyn's homeschool speech teacher came to visit us. We miss her lots. 
 

 

 

 
Ailyn still asks to do "homework" everyday. So we are learning about Sharks 

 

And, growing up 😩

 

Finally went to our Amish market! 

 
 Stays up until 2am and sleeps until 12pm


I gave LuLu and Lily a bath 

 
 
Aaron and I went on a date to a comedy show. Then the next day we had a much needed family day. Daddy has been working a lot so we don't get to see him much. 

 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 

Our friends had a house fire so they have been living in a hotel. We go and swim 
 

We had some our oldest Marylsnd friends come over. We haven't seen them in a long time! 
 

Ailyn's first year K teacher still hangs out with us. We refuse to let her and her other teachers go. 
 


Sometimes it's tough being 11. I had said "no" to driving around to find Pokemon in the rain. 
 

But, the very next day we did! 
 

 

And, watched a band play 

 


 These two and their Mommy have eaten my entire garden 

Then there was the day that a-hole broke a vase Aaron and I have had for 20 years together. 

 

 

Camden now has a new chore everyday. The dishwasher! 

 

And, this cutie turns 4 this month 😢

 

We stole A's teacher again and took her shopping with us 

 

 

 

These two never stop. Game after game. 

 

This day Daddy stole all of Camden's money. He paid him back interest. 

 

Her home PT is tough work 

 

Ailyn's K teacher's daughter (not the teacher above) is good friends with Camden. She's been coming over to hang out. Of course we had to give her a party! 

 

 

We went out for breakfast for K's birthday! 
 
 And, then went dancing that night 

 

 

Dabbing is the thing to do 

 

Had a cookout with our Maryland family. 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Working hard on our shark unit 

 

And, giving me attitude for not having her sheets cleaned and ready to put on the bed 

 

I find him every morning in new spots around the house 

 

We've been playing with our twin friends 


Lots of Connor this summer 

 
  He's going to be a party animal in college 

 

Had an appointment with her rehab Doctor. 

 

Twinsies! We saw The Secret Life of Pets with our friends 

 

 

We went to Rocky Point beach and felt very confident that the lifeguard was watching our children 

 


 
  
 

 


 
 
More Shark stuff 

 

Moms night out to see "Bad Moms" Super funny. 

 

And, some drinks 

 

Another summer concert 


We got our hair done at the concert by Super Cuts 

 
 
 

 

A storm rolled in quick and we had to leave. I didn't notice Camden dabbing until after I looked through my pictures 😒

 

Not sure if she's taking after Camden and sleeping on floors now or what. But, she flat out refused to sleep in a bed. Daddy woke up her up and brought her into bed a couple hours later. She told him today "Don't wake me up ever again" 

 

Today was our friend Reid's birthday! Ailyn had so much fun at his party. 

 

She made a new friend and bossed him around all day. 

 

"Mommy, look I'm dabbing like Camden" 🙄 

 

I figured I would give her a pillow and blanket to sleep with tonight. She never wants to sleep without me. She is normally on top of me the entire night. If I move, she moves with me. Once it's not hot in her room, she's sleeping ALONE  in there. Or, on the floor, I don't care 

That felt good to catch up with our summer pics! I want to keep this blog updated now. I hate that I let it go for a couple years. I love looking back.
