Summertime fun!

Among the other things going on this summer Brook has decided she is not afraid of the pool anymore and now jumps from the top of the ladder, with a life jacket still but we're so very proud of her! Not to be left out Bryn decided she wants to "jump" from the top step also (to mommy of course). It's very cute, I put her on the top step and she opens up her arms, leans forward and falls, each time with a huge grin on her face, we're going to have to watch this one very carefully. Also Bryn discovered her sister's Barbie jeep and goes straight for it everytime we go outside. Brook drives her all around the yard and they both have a blast, I'm cringing as I picture big sister giving little sister driving lessons at 16, oh my. The only bad part about all the fun is it leads to lots of Bryn crying and screaming when it's time to go in.

Yay!!!

Not sure what happened but my "comments" section is now working!!! So if you had something to share, like how cute our kids are :P, and weren't able to before please feel free to share now :) Love you all!!!!

We're back from our spectacular vacation! The weather was so perfect! How can you not love 60 degree temps when you have been in 100+ for months :P The girls did great, I think Brook napped once in 10 days...she had nonstop playtime with Aubrie and Brian! Kiki and Alyssa were there for a few days too so that was some extra fun. Bryn did very well with the exception of some separation anxiety issues but by the end of the trip was doing well letting everyone hold her and even went on a buggy ride with Grandpa Craig all by herself (slow speeds of course). She took a couple days to realize sand is NOT yummy but she had tons of fun filling up the holes as fast the big kids could dig them.
For my birthday celebration this year I opted out of cake and presents and decided we ladies would do a girls day out and had pedicures and lunch on the pier! It was some well deserved mommy time!
We all had a great time collecting seashells and rocks, playing in the water, skim boarding, dirt bike and rhino riding and just sitting back doing nothing. The jumper was set up for the kids and they all got to ride Brook's quad and did very well. Even Gavin got to get a little ride in, for at least 10 feet :) All in all everything went smoothly and we were not ready to come back on saturday :( Can't wait till next year already!!!!
