Waking up Kieran on his actual birthday

McDonald's pancakes were his breakfast request. 

We had the morning to ourselves because Caden and Cole were at cooking class. 
Kieran chose to play games at Scheels before picking up his brothers from cooking class.




The great baseball card sort! Quite a project!

Our July

Happenings of our July, minus our family vacation to Colorado Springs and Kieran's birthday...

After Caden got cleaned up and rested a little from camp, we went to see Cars 3.

Mary Poppins at The Muni with Nana and Papa



Cole finished up his baseball season.
Cole is #9. 



Kieran celebrated his friend, Jershon's birthday.

Cole's turn for overnight camp...For the first time, he went to Lake Springfield Christian Assembly with his friend, Joel for three nights. LSCA does not post photos or communicate like Ondessonk, so it was a long four days for me. At least, he was not far from home.
Air conditioned bunk! Lucky!

Caden at a PGA Jr. League match

Kieran attended basketball camp every morning for a week. He was nervous about going, but ended up loving it.




Picking up Cole! He had a great time at LSCA!

Kieran finished up basketball camp.

More PGA Jr. League matches for Caden and Cole
Caden is #6. Cole is #7. 






Kieran can only watch so much golf. 






Caden tackled the job of purging and alphabetizing his books.


We took part in the painted rock craze. This is the first rock Kieran found.


Cole and Kieran finished the library summer reading program. Caden did too, but the program is different for teens.


Caden and Cole attended Cake Design class at LLCC. We enjoyed their delicious treats for four days. The final project was a fondant-decorated cake.

The boys and I saw White Christmas at The Muni.
