Friday Favorites - Summer Edition

We made it!  About Wednesday I wasn't sure if I was going to last until Friday-ha!  But It's Friday and May and MAY DAY!  We are here for it!  The kids always front load the week so we can have 'Fun Fridays'

First favorite would of course be May Day, but since we've been spending so much time outside, I thought I would share some of our favorite summer items

+ This spiral apple cutter - we use it non stop {like daily!}

+ We don't use this as much {lazy mom} but when we do, the kids day is MADE!  It's the most fun way to make homemade ice cream!

+ The only way to do water balloons!

+ Our favorite life jackets {under $50} & helmets.


+ We don't have these yet, but I'm super excited to have the kids try these goggles -- especially Jordyn!

+ Favorite floaties for kids and adults!

+ My father-in-law got this shuffleboard set and we've been playing it nonstop {he just painted the lines on his driveway}. We also love Jenga & have started a tradition where anyone that visits our house signs a block!  And croquet will always hold a special place in my heart! All perfect for entertaining because you can easily chat while playing.  Also, all can be played with one hand if need be ;)

Also, if anyone has a sprinkler recommendation that isn't junk, I would love it hear it.  Our trampoline died  from a windstorm this spring, so I would love to replace that with one of these!  However, Adam and I aren't agreeing yet.  One of us wants to bury it in the ground with drainage.  Do you guys have any experience with this?  The other just wants to get a swingset/monkey bars for the kids.

The last ski of the season...


I tried so hard to narrow this photos down, but I just couldn't.  Adam had to work and the kids and I had a free Saturday so we decided to take advantage of the amazing weather and spend the day skiing.  It is so amazing having independent skiers!

Ice Skating


Two years ago, Cullyn tried to skate for six seconds before refusing to go back on the ice and last year the kids both used skate aids and were flying around the rink completely out of control, so I didn't haven't the highest expectations.  However, the kids were total rockstars!  Super cute out there for sure!

Skiing 2019


A few weeks ago, it was finally warm enough, for us, to go skiing!  We always have such a great time and vow to make more time to go.  Since our move, our drive is almost 2 hours vs. 30 minutes.  On a positive note, the kids kicked butt and are now skiing independently!  So exciting!  We're so proud of them!  Plus it makes going skiing that much more fun!
