Macie swims!!!

Macie's first swim lesson with Miss Heather was at the end of June. She was pretty excited to get into the water until she realized that I wasn't. Miss Heather being wonderful like she always is, was so excited to get Macie into the water and start her on her great journey of swimming. Miss Heather started teaching Kaylee when she was 15 months and Kaylee is now swimming freestyle and learning the backstroke. Needless to say we love Miss Heather and the way she has with the girls.
Now Macie acted a lot like her big sister did on her first lessons, she cried, looked for mommy, and was pretty ticked off when put on her back. I have to say though that I remember Kaylee being a bit more unsure about the whole process then Macie has been so far. Here are a few pictures....

4th of July fun!

Another 4th has come and gone too soon. Again we started off our 4th at Schooner or later with friends. There were about 17 of us and we had a great brunch there. One thing was missing though........the sun!! I think this was the first 4th that I actually wore a sweater until after noon....





Kaylee and her Ashie

My lil Mays!! She is so stinkin cute!!

The girls.....Macie, Gracie with her fantastic 4th of July headband,and Kbugs!!

The whole gang at Schooner! Horrid picture of myself but I am takin one for the team ;)

After naps and me cooking some goodies it was time for us to head to Ahma and Papa's annual 4th of July party at their house for yummy food, 321 margartias, fun, and fireworks! This picture above is Mays with her Great Aunt Mimi...they like to play :)

After yummy food and some fun Maddy and Kaylee were ready for some movie time before the fireworks started. They are so darn cute together.

Kaylee decided a couple of days before that this year she did NOT want to watch the fireworks but that she was going to stay inside with her Ahma, so that is what she did. Maddy joined the rest of us on the golfcourse to watch the awesome firework show!!! We had a great 4th of July and an amazing weekend all together!!

Disneyland!!!

We kicked off the weekend of the 4th by spending all Friday at Disneyland with JC's family, well mine too now. ;) Aunt Leanne, Unce Mike, Cousins Richie and Jenna were here from Arizona celebrating Aunt Leanne's 50th Birthday @ Disney!!!! We had such a great time with everyone.

In line for Alice in Wonderland!

We took up a whole boat and Kaylee sang her way thru It's a Small World

Kaylee and her cousin Jenna!

The MOST HILARIOUS part of the day.....JC and Uncle Mike being left to ride with one another on Alice inWonderland! Even the other people in line were laughing when they came out!! Tears....

Ofcourse JC felt the need to take a picture with the PRETTY fairy...DORK! And I say that with love...

After chasing after Alice and the Mad Hatter we got a quick pic

Everyone after meeting in Downtown Disney for dinner. We were off for a couple more rides before the kids were totally wiped out!!

We had sucha great time at Disneyland with the family. Kaylee finally got to go in the Haunted Mansion but unfortunatly we didn't make it past the elevator part before she was crying to get out of there! THe Matterhorn will also have to wait for another time just because the line was waaaaay too long, Kaylee was NOT very happy about that.
