20 things.

 

Some of my favorite things about summer are.

1.  Watching Lyla watch the other kids.  She just sits on the porch and watches.  She loves to be outside.  Even in her jammies and being so sick this week.

2.  Lyla wearing her shoes and her ponytail.

3.  Ryan wearing his swimming suit everyday!

4.  Max jumping on the tramp and his flips.  He is so not afraid of anything. 

5.   How Alysa is always a little scruffy.  She won’t blow dry her hair and it always looks terrible. 

 

6.  Being together!   I really never thought that Ryan and Lyla looked too similar until I look at this picture. they look exactly the same.

  

7.  Ryan and how he always poses for the picture.  I love his outfits that he chooses. 

 

8.  This picture of this bird.  I have one similar on my phone and it is just a little speck.  Alysa thought that this bird was awesome and she had to borrow my camera and get a picture.

9.  How Lyla smiles when she plays with Rainee.  Rainee is such a good kid dog!

10.   Chalk art on the sidewalk.  even scribbles from Ly.

 

11.  Popsicles.

 

12.  How Ryan can be so mean and so nice in the same minute.  In this picture, he was mad because he couldn’t have another popsicle. 

13.  See… 5 seconds later with his buddies.  This is Cooper, Cody, Ryan and Kalen.  I love that Ryan can play outside all day long and never take a break from these guys.

14.  When the kids do this to Lyla - Trying to make Lyla look at the camera. 

15.  Ryan posing for the camera again…   At the click of the camera he changes his poses. 

 

16.  Max-o making a heart with his hands because he says that he loves me so much.   This sweet kid makes me smile for sure.

17.   How all of the kids take Lyla on rides in the tractor and she just holds on for the ride.  

18.   Summer walks to the school just to quickly do the monkey bars.

19.  Toys all over the basement because the kids have been playing with them.

20.   and my # 1 favorite thing about summer is the no schedule, no structure, no plans.
