Stancil Summer Outing

We headed to the Bulls game with Dave's firm and enjoyed being behind the bull pen.

Father's Day

We headed to Vollmer Farms to pick blueberries for our annual Father's Day outing.  It was HOT! but we had enough for a blueberry pie!

Myrtle Beach

We joined Dave for a work trip to Myrtle Beach for the weekend.  The hotel we stayed at had a waterpark, 3 pools and beach access.  The kids immediately headed for the ocean before we even unpacked!  

Mastering the water slide

Sammy didn't quite figure it out :)

Dave took the Aniela and Thomas to the reception for his conference and they had a caricature artist there.

Dr. Seussical the Musical

Aniela's last day of second grade.  What a difference a year makes!

The second grade performed Dr. Seussical the Musical.  It was cute! and they all did a stellar job!

Maddie's 10th Birthday

Peter Pan the Musical

Aniela and I went on date to see Cole and Sterling perform in Peter Pan the musical.  We ate at Cafe Capistrano beforehand and Aniela said "This place is so fancy (referring to the white tablecloths :))" 

The show was great and Sterling and Cole did an awesome job!

AENC Durham Bulls Event

Pool time

Bowling

We headed to Buffalo Lanes to bowl with the kids.  They had a great time!

Pool is OPEN

Aniela's 7th Birthday Party

We celebrated Anielas birthday at Klaystation.  The girls painted pottery, had snacks and ate cake! 

Baseball

Thomas and Aniela are both playing baseball this season.  Thomas is playing tee ball and Aniela is playing coach pitch.  Dave is coaching both teams.  They both are really enjoying playing and learning about baseball.

Aniela turns 7!

Not sure how 7 years can go by in the blink of an eye!  My sweet baby has turned into a young lady.  Aniela is a conscientious, sweet and loving person.  She helps me out so much and is good to her brothers (most of the time).  She continues to love arts and crafts whether it is drawing, coloring, creating or cutting and pasting.  

Aniela looks like such a big kid now that her front adult teeth are in.  She loves school and playing with her friends.  She has changed so much in first grade and soaks up everything the teacher says.  She is playing baseball this season and wants to start tennis.  She loves to be outside running, biking or scootering.
