Weekly Post

We started the week with a fun bike ride and played outside with our neighbors

We went swimming.  The kids wanted Ollie to come also so they got him ready for the pool.

We had a BBQ for dinner.  Ollie also wanted in on Shawn's steak.

We went down to the lake for ice cream.   Ethan was with us, but not in any pictures because he spent most of the time hiding from us because he saw some of his friends and was embarrassed to be with us.  I'm not that embarrassing, but I'm thinking I need to start really being embarrassing so he will appreciate me when I am normal :)

Liv and Cole started tennis on Tuesday morning. Ethan didn't want to take lesson so he just sits in the corner at the club and plays on his phone.

After tennis Cole went to a party at the Roller Skating Rink.

Ethan spent the afternoon with his buddies on a bike ride around Pewaukee.

Cole had try-outs Tuesday and Thursday for a select soccer team.

Wednesday was day one of golf lessons from 7-11am for Cole and Ethan.  They had fun and hopefully by the end of the summer will be able to golf with Shawn.

Liv and I went to a fun activity for Activity Days.  

We had some amazing skies and summer storms this week.

Cole and Liv had tennis again Thursday morning, while Ethan went and caddied at the country club.  He got his first big pay check!

Friday Liv had a special bar and tumbling class that she is taking over the summer.  Several of the girls wore their new 2016 Summer Olympic Brazil leo.

Friday night Shawn and I went out on a date at a restaurant on the lake.  After we went and got the kids for ice cream and then headed to the park for some family tennis.

Liv recorded this funny video of our family tennis night.  We aren't good and we usually loose a few balls before the night is over, but we have fun!

Saturday morning started with Shawn headed to work and the kids doing nothing but playing electronics for hours.  It was heaven for them :)

Then we headed for slurpees and a fun swim party with some of the girls from Liv's gymnastics team.

That evening Liv went to another party with some school friends and the boys and I went for a walk with the dog and played outside.  

We enjoyed a nice Sunday celebrating Shawn for Fathers Day.  The kids even helped with dinner.

Last day of school was Friday.  We had the annual school bus pool party.  I didn't see Ethan all day long on Friday.  He left early for school and went home with friends and to party until the evening.  I am not sure that I am ready for all this teenager stuff!

Ethan's team is splitting up after this tournament and going to different teams.  It was the last time many of them will get to play together. Ethan went out with a bang and got a yellow card for arguing with the ref his last game :(  

Cole has been the un-official team manager for Ethan's team.  He sits with the team and helps warm up the goalie before every game.

We had some pretty impressive summer storms during some of the games.
