June 2010

June was a busy month for us.  Addie finished up 1st grade at the beginning of the month.  It was a great last week of school for her.  She had a field trip to Dutch Village up in Holland MI. She liked learning all about Holland.  Then she had a book open house at school were she was able to show off to her family books that her class had written through out the year as well as show us that she knows all the state capitals.

After school was done she ready for summer to begin.  She started swimming lessons right away and they continued through the rest of the summer.  She also signed up for soccer camp.  That was a great week for her.  She loved learning all sorts of new skills and tricks.  She also got into the wacky dress day!  One day the local newspaper came out and took pictures of the kids at camp.  Addie made the front page of the paper! 

We spent Father's Day at the beach having fun as a family.  This year we didn't get to spend to much time there because it seemed like every day was a red flag day.  I know we could have hung out on the beach, but it is just to tempting for the kids when they can see the water. 

By the end of June Michael (w/ the girl's help) had finished adding the pickets to the fence.  The garden grew and grew!  Michael also wanted me to show off my first attempt at making Chicago style pizza from scratch.  It did turn out well.  The only problem is that it takes FOREVER to make.  Then it is gone in heartbeat :)
