Summer 2012...So Far

Summer is always a busy time for us so unfortunately the blog has been neglected in the last few months!

Tatum has been having a great couple of months! The weather has been absolutely gorgeous so we have been spending lots of time hanging outside, having barbecues, and spending lots of time with friends! For our May 24 celebration, the whole family went to visit Aunt Christine's house for the day. Tatum had a great day splashing around in the pool with her cousins and we had a delicious dinner to end the day!

The swimspa had been shut down over the winter for several reasons but it has been up and running for the last few weeks! Tatum loves it and it's always a fun way to spend a few hours of the day. She loves to turn on the jets and be pushed back towards the stairs, or better yet to do laps back and forth across the pool. Of course, a good waterfight with the spray guns is always a favourite activity.

The other day we were being silly and Natalie had me make some pasta in preparation for dinner. Tatum and I decided to test whether it was ready by throwing pieces at the ceiling and in the shower!




Tatum finished school just last week so we've been enjoying all the extra spare time she now has! Lots of Sims 3 time, playing with friends, and just being silly. Yesterday she decided to have Jordyn come and sleepover. It was a fun night on the street, hanging out at the neighbours, swimming and having a barbecue. Summer is our favourite season! We like to make lots of treats and saltine cracker candy is one of our absolute favourites. It's so addicting. Tatum also made a beautiful dessert the other day.


For Canada Day, we had another barbecue and Natalie made some delicious hamburgers. She paired it with a nice caesar salad and it was perfect! After dinner, we headed to the beach nearby (about a 20 minute drive) to enjoy some fireworks!




All in all, it's been a great start to summer! We can't wait to see what the rest of the summer has in store!
