August
The End of Summer!

When we came home from the cabin the girls spent the week at cheer camp, ending with a performance. They are still doing their jumps!

The next weekend (August 8th) Eileen ran the Friends of Hank Aaron 5K with Bryan
Eileen was much less nervous this time

Eileen and Daddy with their banana, Starbucks protein smoothie and race face.
This race ended up being delayed 3 times due to severe weather and they still ended up running in a down pour! Eileen ended up taking 3rd for her age group at this race so in her mind it was all worth it!

We went the the farmers market almost every week, I love that we can walk from our house! We got tomatoes (among other things) to make sauce, Olivia loved squishing them with her hands!
The look on her face is perfect!

She is a girl who doesn't mind a little mess

The sauce turned out delicious!

On the last day of summer Bryan and I put on a "Backyard Olympics" for the kids, using all the things they had done over the summer. The kids spent the morning making metals for the award ceremony and Bryan and I came up with all of the events and planned out the final event-the obstacle course.

Brian had the kids check in for each event

Nice form!

As promised I took us to the end of summer, I will post first day of school and on as soon as I can.
