We have started summer out with a bang! It has been nonstop fun around here and we have partied until we have dropped....literally!
She is just so stinkin' cute when she sleeps.
We started June with a fun cousins trip to the zoo.
We had a delicious Sunday dinner with some great friends the Ramsey's, Johansen's and the Worthington's. It is so nice to enjoy and good meal that you don't have to cook and clean up after all by yourself.
The night was topped off by Rocky Road ice cream made by Tyson and wheel barrow rides courtesy of Katy Ramsey's dad.
Claire and her twin friends: Abbey and Livy (she can't tell them apart but it is so cute)
We had our annual Neighborhood Summer Bash.
It was a hit and so fun. The day started out a bit windy but it was warm and the kids had a blast soaking up the sun and going down the inflatable water slides.
The festivities continued on into the night at the Harding's corner.
We had snow cones, cotton candy, face painting, super hero mask crafts, a magician and a taco truck.
The Magician had the kids captivated!
And Lola wins the award for the creepiest face paint compliments of her sister Mia.
The wind picked up later in the evening and we had to postpone the backyard movie at the Healey's until the next night. The girls were disappointment, but exhausted so we went home and the kids crashed. I went out for a late night movie with some girls in the neighborhood so I would say that things turned out quite nice. The kids had so much fun for so many days in a row that we went through withdrawals for the next few days. I am afraid they are going to expect to be entertained all summer.
The very next day Ava had to go see the dentist to get her two front bottom teeth pulled. Her adult teeth started to grow in behind them before the baby teeth had fallen out. She was excited for the tooth fairy to come and for how much she thought she would get since there were two teeth.
Later that night we went to the Annual Chark Art Festival down at the Gateway Shopping Plaza. Not all the pieces were finished but we got to see the artists working on them.
Ava was so inspired by the art work and it was so cute when she said she got some great ideas for her next project.
Katie and Ben met up with us for a bit and we had fun visiting. I ran into my cousin and his daughter Maddy who had entered the chalk art contest. She ended up winning 1st place people's choice in her age division.
Her picture really was the best!
The theme for the festival was Western, however I could not always make the connection with some peoples art work.
One of Ava's favorites.
One of Tyson's favorites.
We ended our night at the rescheduled backyard movie in the Healey's yard. We put the kids in PJ's, and got some blankets and pillows. They watched Wreck It Ralph and actually stayed awake...much to my shock. There was a popcorn machine and cookies which equaled my kids being in heaven.
and that was most of our happenings in June...except,
We didn't forget to celebrate our wonderful Daddy's and Granddaddy's on
Father's Day!
We had a little BBQ with my in-laws and Tyson made himself one of his experimental flavors of ice cream: coconut macadamia nut! It turned out delicious!
We are revamping daddy's wardrobe for Father's Day (I'm sure he is so excited).
We gave grandpa some goodies and a nice book called "How to Babysit a Grandpa". The girls liked the idea that they get to babysit grandpa two days a week and not the other way around.
We are very lucky to have such wonderful men in our lives. We reminisced about papa and how much we love and miss him. We even drove by his house that has sold a few weeks ago. It seemed strange that we couldn't stop and pop a squat on the porch swing for a short visit. We talked about what a wonderful person Grandpa Scott is. The girls adore their grandpa and request to see him almost daily hourly. He is so fun and playful and loving and adoring and I can just see the self esteem he is building in my children as he makes them feel like the most special person in the world. I am so glad my kids get to experience the love of a grandfather. And last but certainly not least, our daddy and the love of my life, Tyson. We hugged and kissed him and told him how much we adore him. I couldn't survive a day without his love, support and encouragement. The girls pine for their father's return from work each day and we all live for Saturday when we get to see him all...day...long!! He is so involved in their day to day care and it is so evident that he is a slave to his love for his girls. That is the way is should be and I love my little world!
