July 11 - School this morning. Garrett is almost officially finished with Kindergarten and he is doing great! He is reading words and really trying hard for me. I'm so happy with how he is doing. It was a little rough with reading and his Apraxia at the start but once we really started practicing the sounds and doing it every day it just started clicking for him. Handwriting.....still needs work. But one thing at a time :)
Dads off of work right now so after school we headed up to the pool to beat this heat!!
Garrett absolutely loves to be flipped and Tim is the one that can do it. So if you ask Garrett who he wants to take him to the pool it's always Tim :)
Later that evening we headed over to Teresa's for dinner and a movie. Garrett was playing with Teresa's shoes and then started bugging poor Chloe, kookie kid!!
July 12 - We've been having quite the Monsoon season here. Today we had hail along with our rain. It stormed for most of the day.
July 13 - We finished up school and headed down to the pool. Garrett has been doing very well on his swimming and today he was showing me how good he was at floating.
That evening we headed out to the movie theater. It has been over 1 year since we have been inside one of these and it was great! We got tickets to watch Boss Baby 2. We got our popcorn, drinks and headed inside. The movie theater here in Gallup has the reclining seats which is awesome!! Below is a preview of the movie.
It was so cute. I think we all really enjoyed it!!
July 14 - Today Garrett and I headed out this morning to get some groceries at Walmart. It is supposed to storm almost the whole day today so we won't be going to the pool today. While we were in Walmart it poured outside.
We did head down to the playground for about 30 minutes until the storms showed up. Looks like today is going to be mainly an indoor day for us :)

Funny kid decided to put his helmet on the sign. Well at least its better than the ground....
Worst fake smile ever!!
He's always loved doing flips on the slide.
Garrett will sometimes take his Ipad in our room and watch his shows while laying in our bed with Sassy. He was being awful quiet so I went in there to check on him and found him and Sassy like this on my bed. Gosh they are the sweetest when they are like this!! Must have been a play hard day to fall asleep like this. But I guess a blanket and dog will do that to you ;)
July 15 - We have had the best neighbors behind us who have 3 kids. Their smallest who is 5 has become really good friends with Garrett. Today he had gotten a new bike with training wheels and Garrett was having a great time cheering him on!!
Of course he had to get on his bike and ride for a little bit too!! So funny that they have the same helmet :)
I love his sweet disposition. He is always cheering others on and rooting for them. He didn't want to ride his bike until he knew his friend was ok on his. My sweet boy ;)
We headed in had lunch, did some school and then headed down to the pool. It's been HOT these last couple of days and the pool felt great!
We also went back to the pool that evening as well. Garrett had a great time playing with some of the kids.
July 16 - Today Garrett has officially finished Kindergarten. My Fathers World curriculum has been amazing this year. We will continue to use My Fathers World when we start up 1st grade in the Fall. I'm so proud of how hard he worked for me this school year. To celebrate we got him a haircut. Just kidding, LOL. But he did get a hair cut. We officially have a First Grader now :)

No more school means longer pool time :)
July 17 - Woke up this morning, paid our bills and went to get Chloe to bring her back to our house. She was laying by me looking at me like this.....so creepy!!
Its true what they say about sisters annoying each other. Even if they are sisters at heart!!
The looks I get when I tell them both to knock it off....what we aren't doing anything.....
More pool time.....we love our pool time!!
July 18 - Today is the last day before Garrett and I will be leaving to go to Maine to see Grandma, Uncle Mason/Aunt Victoria and all of his cousins. He is very excited. But I have so much to do. Laundry and cleaning this morning. While I did those chores Garrett was playing with his cars.
Then we had to run errands. I had to fill up the car, drop off some items, run to Walmart and pick up our mail. Phew!! I still had packing to do. I'm trying to not have any luggage that I have to check. We will both have wheeled carry ons as well as 2 backpacks. I think this may work!! I packed plenty of snacks, there is some toys, of course his Ipad. I think I've got everything I need.
I told Garrett after dinner I would take him down to the pool, but then it stormed and they had locked the pool up. So he played at the playground instead. A couple of kids to play with tonight :)

He stayed up there till 8 and then we headed back home as it was getting dark and chilly. He watched TV, ate a snack and put himself to bed around 8:30. He is soooo excited about seeing Grandma and his cousins in 2 more days!!
Sounds like lots of people pulling in the RV park late tonight. Sassy isn't quite sure what to make of it, but she sure doesn't like all of the talking outside our door!!
