WE WENT TO A PAINTBALL TOURNAMENT 

Kaleb is now on a D-5 paintball team. 

We met up with our friend Cate S. She was there because her boyfriend is also on a paintball team. 

It was fun to see Kaleb in his element. But the tournament was not a child friendly place. Not only were there paintballs all over the ground, so I couldn't set Elijah down {{{Thank GOD, for, our Ergo carrier!}}}; there was also a ton of vulgar language. It was not in any way a family friendly place. I am not going to be able to take Elijah there once he starts absorbing language and repeating

E V E R Y T H I N G

 It was loud and very mosquito-y. We stayed for 2 hours. And then, my sister, Elijah, and I went back to her apartment and relaxed. I don't know about her, but Elijah and I both have several mosquito bites! Mine itch like crazy so I can only assume Elijah's itch also! 

It was nice to see Cate and watch Kaleb play! 

  

KALEBS BIGGEST BATTLE SCAR

SNUGGLY BEAR BOY

⭐I planted flowers at the beginning of the summer and I am so proud of how well they are doing!! 

🌞I started a tiny tiny little flower garden in the back yard. It is 3ft by 3ft

And next year I will add to it. Hopefully it will be 3ft by 10 feet!! 😊

Here are some photos of the progress of my potted plants!! 

I planted Sedum, marigolds, pansies, lilies, flox, a ballon flower plant that Kaleb    bought me last summer and we moved it from Olivia to Jeffers. 

My NONA stayed with us for 5 days, it was VERY FUN!! 

We cooked some amazing meals and cleaned and played with Elijah! And boy, does he sure love his Bis Nona!! 

I love my Italian heritage. 

Having Nona around was a joyous time! 

This weekend, Elijah and I are staying with my patents. My sister is coming from Minneapolis and we are all going to have a fun time visiting. Elijah loves to be with his aunts.
