Summer Update

The Summer has been really fun and has gone by WAY too fast. I can't believe school is already starting. We went a lot of places, played really hard with cousins on both sides and had a ton of fun!!

I love that Zadek thinks the slide is to climb up!

Playing at the mall on our back to school outing with the Thompsons!

The Aquarium. Zadek climbed up by himself. He is just as big as his big brothers

Fall Soccer already started. It's crazy that we've already played 2 games of the season. Cael is also playing but I only had videos of him. I'll have to do more pictures as the season progresses. At his first game he scored 3 goals. Javin is old enough that he actually has ref's and they play by the rules. He's picking up positions well. He has lots of natural talent. Just like his dad.

My Sister came for a week this summer. It was fun to have her family here. We went to planet play and even grandpa had to get a game pass to play!!

Jessica was really nice to help the littler kids out.

All of the cousins!

The boys did the British Soccer Camp this summer. It was lots of fun and really good for them. Here's Cael chillin after camp in his crazy outfit of choice.

Coach Lee was Cael's coach. His age division of 4 year old's only had 3 kids so he got lots of one on one time.

Javin also did soccer camp and I have pictures on the other camera of him with his coach, Lucy. He learned a lot and had lots of fun as well.

JAVIN TURNED 8

With lots of family around and friends too there was a lot of partying to be had.

The combined party. It was also Nathan's and Jessica's birthday as well. We had the water slide up and did a massive combined party. I think that the kids love this tradition.

Grandma had just had knee surgery but that didn't stop her from coming to enjoy the festivities!

The Thompson party was equally fun. We had pizza and the water slide and fun times!

Opening presents and playing at the pinata with Liam

He decided to do a Mario party for this one and have brownies and ice cream!

I have never let Javin have a friend party before and I decided that turning 8 was kind of special so I let Javin have a party. I told him we could invite whomever he wanted thinking it would be a lot of kids but all he wanted was Emma and Paul. His two closest friends. We had a POKEMON party.

We played Pokemon games,

put up the slip and slide and went on a pokemon hunt in the back yard.

Javin doesn't like cake so he decided instead of a cake we should go to Orange Leaf. It was lots of fun

Then RANDOM PITURES of ZADEK

He's really into his sunglasses lately

We've been getting together with our cousins on the Thompson side of the family and the first time grandma got the water slide out I didn't bring a swimsuit for the little one because I thought he was scared of water. Turns out swimming in your clothes is just as fun too!!

His favorite place to be, the bathroom. He climbs on everything and gets into everything. He's LOTS of fun.

We've had a great summer. It's been really fun to be here close to family and the time has FLOWN by. We are excited to get back into the swing of school and are anxiously awaiting the arrival of our other family member who should be leaving Afghanistan in about 20 days. It's getting CLOSE!!! YAY!!!
