Sunday Fun

The girls spend their Sundays at Grandma Mona & Papa Joes house. The love playing over there! They come home exhausted from playing so hard!

 

Bubble Gum Icecream

This is so good, I want to shove the whole thing in my mouth!

Swim Day!

We spent the day in the pool. The water is warming up and we are loving it!

Big Girl Potty

Taylor has officially gone both #1 and #2 on the big girl potty. We are in no way trying to potty train her yet but if she wants to try, we are more than happy! I think she just wants to do everything her cool big sis does!

Summer Nights

I absolutely love summer nights in AZ. We love being outside and love the weather getting warmer. We often go to my parents for dinner during the week if Josh is working. My dad heats up the “little pool” and the girls get to go swimming after dinner. Of course, they do usually get a little treat also!

Rissy’s Big 3-0!

We had a wonderful girls weekend to celebrate my good friend Nerissa’s 30th bday. We spent the weekend at the Montelucia Intercontinental. We spent the first day in a poolside cabana with multiple pitchers of mojitos. We then got dolled up for a nice dinner. The next day Tucky and I were not quite ready to head home, so had another pool day. It was a much needed mini vaca! Happy birthday to one of my most favorite people! Love you Riss!

Time Out

Our sweet Taylor Mae is turning into a 2 year old more and more each day. With that comes more time outs. She is so good about it. Kaykay would throw a huge fit and would go crazy. I think because Taylor so often sees her big sis in time out, she knows just what to do. It really works for her! If she is throwing a tantrum, it will calm her down. Tonight she decided to use her spoon to throw her dinner into her sisters hair and onto the floor. A bit funny, but very naughty. We told her no. A few minutes later she did it again and bought herself a time out. We don’t tell her to face the wall and Kaykay doesn’t, but she just always does. She also looks down and makes a pouty face. Then when her time is up she comes and gives hugs and tries to say sorry. Oh 2 year olds- so naughty but still so dang cute!

Wrestle Mania

Sometimes my girls surprise me and actually have fun playing with each other. I don’t know what got into them, maybe because it was Mothers day, but they were actually totally playing with each other. First on the swing set outside, then before bath time they decided to wrestle. They were laughing so hard and were really taking each other down. My dad (an ex wrestler) showed them some moves! Kaykay is a bit bigger, but it was a pretty good match!

Great Gma Gerre

We are lucky enough to see Great Gma Gerre more often this year. She has been spending part of the year living with Aunt Jean at the Grand Canyon and the other part in Wisconsin. She came down for a Brewers game this weekend. Kayleigh got to spend some pool time with her. They are the only ones willing to get in the cold pool. The rest of us just swim in the heated “little pool” which is my parents oversized spa. We have so much fun with her and are so glad we get to see her more! Love you Gma!

ps The Brewers won and per my mothers report the DBack fans have asked my grandma to please not return to another game, although Miller sales may fall. :)

More Tutus!

I made Taylor her tutu tonight. Before I was finished, I let Sissie give it a try. Kaykay loved it on her. I don’t think Sissie loved it as much! Taylor loved it! She danced around like a ballerina, jumped on the couch and thought she looked so pretty! She was all giggles. Of course she is nude (like a lot of the time) but it was right before bath time, so at least I have an excuse this time. My kids just love being naked for some reason. I can not wait to get her into dance lesson next year. She loves to watch Kayleigh’s recital videos and dance with them. Now she has an outfit to dance in!

Splash!

Last night we had a Girls Only sleep over at my mom’s house. My Dad and Jared were out of town and Josh worked over night, so we all went to Grandma’s house. Carrie made Cinco de Mayo tacos. The next morning we went to the splash park by Addie’s house. The girls had a great time, they are such water girls! They both got home and took great naps for me!
