Keeping up with the Hamp's!: Summer is in full swing here!!

Needless to say I am pitiful at this... I think about sitting down and blogging every once in a while but never seem to follow through. I am going to today though, try and fill you in on what has been happening in our little world. Yeah and when I say try this might be hard because I cant even remember what we did last week!

Well I guess we will start with Haley as usual. She finished up 1st grade this year and proud to say we will have a second grader next year. She still struggles with reading a little but I guess it doesn't come naturally to everyone. So we put her in a little summer Reading program which actually turned out to be more science based, which is fun for her to read, write, and learn about something as opposed to just reading about it. She enjoys this for the most part, but would much rather be at the pool or the park than in a classroom, but these are the little things I do to try and help her. We are going to sign her up for fall soccer and that is something she is super excited about. Other than school, the pool, and the park she has been keeping herself busy playing with friends and running the neighborhood!

Brady is good. He is growing up so fast seems like I blinked and he's off and going. Sneaking outside to play with the neighbors and just being a boy I guess. He is supposed to be napping and this seems to be our biggest battle lately. He don't seem to understand how much his mom needs an hour or two of solitude! Oh well just one more reason I think he is growing up to fast. He and Haley both have birthdays next month and that seems to be all I can think about, 8 and 3 wow!! He has also been enjoying going down to the ball fields and running around and coming home with a sugar high.

Josh is good as well. He sewed on his Tech stripe the 1st of the month. Nice to know all that studying payed off for him. He has been playing ball and Friday's and playing in tournaments on the weekends. He is doesn't bounce back the way he used to and if often tired and sore the following 2 days! Not much else to report on him!

As for me the usual day in and day out slave labor! Just messin! I've just been trying to enjoy my kids and taking advantage of the weather. Whether we are just playing at home in the garage or out at the lake it has been a nice summer. The kids are at those ages where is pretty easy to do whatever and as long as everyone is happy it makes for a nice day! My birthday is next week and like I said having kids that will be 8 and 3 still boggles my mind and to say I am 27 makes me feel even older not sure why I care and maybe I don't... still haven't decided!
