THE GRINSTEAD FAMILY

SUMMER FUN

We have started out the summer being quite busy & having loads of fun!

• Allie went to her friend Hannah's birthday party. It was held where Allie used to take gymnastics. She now thinks she wants to give that a try again. I'm thinking "no".
• I went to a surprise 40th birthday bash for my friend Karen. We had a nice time.
• Jake has had several baseball games they have won 6 & lost 2 since my last post. Jake has been hitting well. The highlight was another double that brought in 2 RBI's. He got to pitch in one game & did ok. He has been fielding well & caught a beautiful fly ball in right while running. He still has practice twice a week.
• Allie had a presurgery appointment to make sure she was healthy enough to have her mole removed. She also attend a party at the surgery center. She learned all about what they would do the day of the surgery. It helped ease her mind. I am pretty sure I had an anxiety attack & almost passed out while touring the center. Allie's surgery went well & she has stitches to show off right now.
• Jake slept over at his friend Adam's house & at his friend Paul's house.
• Jake had Paul over to play a bunch, along with Adam, Nick & Ben. Allie had her friend Maddie & another friend Madison over.
• Allie started tutoring. She loves it and her tutor even taught her how to crochet!
• Allie went to the city pool with her friend Maddie.
• Both kids went to a late night swimming party for a friend's birthday. It was freezing that evening, but they both had fun swimming under the lights of the pool.
• The kids and I went to my parent's house last weekend. We got to visit with a lot of family. Mom had a get together with the Fischer's & there were cousins from all over the US there. It was a great time.
• Allie & I went to Drew's 2nd birthday party. We also attended Delaney's Baptism and I had the honor of being her Godmother. Jake had a ball game so he missed the festivities.
• The baseball team had a swimming party & potluck the other night. It was a good time.
• We went to the neighbors to roast hot dogs and make smores the other night. It was so nice hanging out by the fire pit.
• Allie got her hair cut. The stylist straightened her hair & it was so cute.

This week brings: baseball practices, tutoring, a baseball game, Allie gets her stitches out, I get a haircut and my favorite holiday is coming up. I love the 4th of July.
