Joshua's new Marvel room
We painted Joshua's new room and moved his stuff over. He's most excited to have his own bathroom for most of the year while Ashlyn is away at school. He wasn't too happy about the grey paint color, but loves the bigger room and a nice big desk to use for homework.
Ashlyn's 2nd Trip
John and Ashlyn also enjoyed a 2 weeks cruise through Europe this year! He got another great deal on a repositioning cruise, and decided to spend a couple weeks spoiling Ashlyn before she goes off to college. They loved London, Russia, and France. They took a lot of pictures, but these are the only ones I had on my phone. I will try to update more later...
Preparing for bedroom switch-a-roos
Since Ashlyn has the biggest room in the house with her own bathroom and she will be away to college for most of the year, we have decided to switch the kids' bedrooms around. Ashlyn will be moving upstairs to the smaller bedroom (her old bedroom she had when we moved into this house), Joshua will be moving over to the bigger bedroom upstairs next to Ashlyn, and the 2 younger boys will be moving to the bedroom downstairs. Because Ashlyn's closet downstairs is for one person, we decided to turn it into a walk-in closet for the boys so they would each have a rod for clothes. Here is the progress on the closet so far...
Coves Summer Parade
I joined our neighborhood social committee this year and decided to help plan and organize a summer parade. We asked kids to decorate their bikes, strollers, and wagons and then we walked/rode through the neighborhood together. It was a good turnout and alot of fun. The boys helped leaded the line and played music on a speaker as we walked through. I am looking forward to more social events like this one in the future...
Summer swim with the Crocs
Joshua and Jonathan committed to another season of summer swim in our neighborhood. They love the exercise and hanging out with friends. The tan is a bonus! Go Coves Crocs!
Jonny gets braces
Jonathan is our third teenager to get braces put on and it looks like the first to have them on for 2 years. We're excited to see if it helps move two teeth down from his top gums as well as even them all out.
