Little Fish

My little swimmer is do AMAZING! Kayleigh is turning out to be quite the star swimmer. She began the summer swimming with the 3 year olds in the little pool and is ending the summer swimming with the 6 year olds in the deep end of the huge pool! We are so very proud of her. She looks so cute being a few heads shorter than all the other kids. She goes to swim 4 days a week, does not complain and works her butt off. Grandma Lisa has been wonderful and takes her most days. It is just so hot to sit out there with Taylor. Kayleigh is even teaching me different swim stokes. Some of her favorites are freestyle, back stroke, dolphin kicks, whip kicks, and floating. The girl can float  on her back for a seriously long time. She is also learning how to dive into the pool. I have really been thinking about getting her into a year round program because she is just doing so well with it!

Sun Splash

My mom and I met up with my Aunt Jean, Rick and their 3 grandkids today at Sun Splash water park. Kyle, Jarron, and Sasami are older and were so great to the girls. They are such sweet kids and we really had a lot of fun with them. I got no pictures because the camera stayed in the lockers as we swam. Taylor had fun but didn’t go crazy for the water. Kayleigh was a total wild women. The second we got there, she pointed to the biggest slide and said, “I want to go on that one now.” Thank god there are some height requirements because I could not handle that! She did talk her way on to quite a few that I was not ok with! I made her wear a life jacket, but I was still nervous. She absolutely loved every second of it! Apparently the lifeguards are not too strict with the height requirements on some rides, because Kay was like a good foot shorter then the little sign!

Those green slides were her favorite! Hello, she is 3!!

Cuddled up with Papa at the end of the day exhausted!

Dancing Queen

Kayleigh had another dance recital tonight. She has a lot of fun taking her ballet/tap class. She loves recitals because there are cookies at the end!

Happy 4th of July!

Kayleigh woke up and needed her nails done! Then the girls dressed up in their cute 4th outfits, courtesy of Auntie Kristin Wallace. They spend the day at Gma and Papa Thie’s house. We really did not intend to do fireworks this year. I know, we are lame parents. But they just start so late, there are so many people, and can be such a hassle. So on the drive home we spotted some out the window. Both girls went wild! Even Taylor was screaming, “Mama, I see! I see!” So we of course got that awful guilt and pulled over in a neighborhood to watch. We had fun and the girls really liked it! There was a bit of traffic on the way home, but worth it.

Princess Tomboy

Taylor just makes me laugh. She loves cars, but also princesses. She looks adorable in her boys pjs. This morning she paired boys pjs with high heels and a crown. Love her!

Big Girl (Boy) Undies

Taylor likes to use the big girl potty just like Kaykay. I have not been trying to potty train her yet, she just likes to go sometimes. So we thought it would be fun to let her pick out some big girl undies. We were at Target and she was looking at all the underwear. Kayleigh says, “Look sister, there is Tinkerbelle or Princess!” Taylor, “No, want Cars!” Kay, “But those are boys. What about purple ones?” Taylor, “Cars! Cars!” So Miss Taylor got her Cars underwear and loves them! I must say boys undies are made way better than girls. They are thicker material and the trim is thicker so it doesn’t go right up her little crack. She looks so dang cute…

Those pink head phones were not connected to anything, but Tay had to wear them all afternoon- so dorky.

 

I had to add this pictures from later that night. I found the girls actually getting along. They were watching TV together in the bedroom at Grandma Lisa’s house.
