Happy Fourth of July!

This year for the fourth, we decided to stay at home, Abby was still recovering from being sick, so we thought it would be best not to do too much. So since we weren't doing anything "fun" Shayne decided he was going to hang out with his dad, and they would go brave the crowds and go see the fireworks. So on the 3rd, I decided to get them dressed up and do a mini photo shoot...

Then since this was the first time she had been outside in like a week, she decided she needed to get in some play time...so she was on a mission!

When we got back in the house, Shayne had cereal for dessert, or second dinner, or whatever you want to call it, so when he wasn't looking, she got up in his seat and tried to steal a bite!!

He decided he had enough to share!!

So on the fourth, even though we didn't do anything but lounge around the house, since I had bought her a special outfit, I couldn't let it go to waste!!

It was a beautiful day outside, so we did go out and play for a little bit.

She loves bubbles!

Yay!! I made it down the slide!

This time, she wanted to start from the top!

Here she goes...

She doesn't want to let go!

Thinking about it...

Freaking out...

Haha!

Coloring, again!

Paper towel arm!

Get it off!

I see you!

Abby and Daddy

Being silly.

Happy Fourth of July!

Summer Fun

Summer Fun...this year has been pretty uneventful, so far. No major vacations or trips like last year, just enjoying our time together. Shayne was planning on a trip to New York to visit Auntie Jenn, Isaac and Ezra, but instead earned himself some tutoring time at school for 6 weeks which he was super excited about, so now the plan is to see each other around either Thanksgiving or Christmas. We have been having fun though, swimming, watching movies, trying to stay cool, you know, the usual Phoenix summer fun. We had Sean here for a few days last month and instead of spending hundreds of dollars at Wet 'n Wild, we decided to dedicate one day to a "pool party" day, and we had milk shakes and soda, and chips and queso, and spent the whole day by the pool. It was pretty fun actually, and we saved a ton of money! Not to say they didn't spend every other day by the pool, but that one day was "special"...haha!

This is Shayne's first swim of the season

Abby was helping Jake install the dishwasher...

Shayne had fun with this one...Abby loves to be sprayed with the hose, so he takes full advantage of that! He continuously sprays her and she just laughs and laughs!
