Enjoying Our Summer















We are approaching the end of summer and we are still trying to soak up every minute.

This last weekend was super fun. Sydney got sick on Friday and had to come home from School. She was really good to play by herself and watch some shows while I worked on Friday. 

Saturday we rode our bike to Westy Fest. We did crafts, watched shows, played on the inflatables. We also finally were able to buy and eat food from our very first food truck. 
We got home and Abby was doing her Lemonade stand. The girls loved helping her. They kept screaming "Lemonade for Sale."

That evening the Blakely's watched our kids and we had dinner with Tom and a few other ESS employees. Tyson ordered the most delicious grill cheese sandwich - it was amazing and was even better than my steak.

Sunday London woke up sick and I stayed home from church with her. 

The last week we have been busy watching the summer Olympics. We have loved watching Simone Biles and Michael Phelps - it's amazing the dedication they have. 

Our last summer project has been sanding and repainting our deck. Tyson got crazy and sanded down our table too - I stained it myself and it turned out awesome! So much better than our first attempt. Then we put 4 coats of polyurethane. So hopefully it will be better protected. The table looks brand new and will last us for many more years to come!

We bought "Deck Over" by Berh and it had a very thick texture to it - we also go gray color and it looks SO good. We did the floor and stairs. Next summer we will replace the top rail boards and paint everything to match. 

I am very happy to have it done :)
