Pool Party

 Enjoying the summertime. The kids could not be happier in the pool. This year we bought a solar cover which has made a big difference with the warmth of the pool. Water is now 75-80  Now if we could only keep their hair from turning green.

 They have become great swimmers. Natalie learned to swim this year.

Life is GOOD!!!

New Backyard Toy

 We have sure been enjoying the new Swing set this summer.

The Red, White and Blue Day

Great Grandpa Wayne Eppich and Brooklyn

 We spent the 4th of July this year at the Basin City Parade like always. Then we had a BBQ at my mom's house. Garrett had to work the fourth so we didn't go to the fireworks, which really disappointed the girls.

 Waiting for candy.

 Enjoying The new uncle Dexter

 Morgan's new friend Persia Poulson

The Lloyd girls

Fun with Cousins

 We always love when cousins come to visit. My kids can't get enough of their cousins. Trenton and Maren came for the weekend, what a good time the kids had.

 Morgan and Jace look like they could be twins. Age 7

 Natalie enjoying grandmas cats. Brooklyn and Ephriam putting together puzzles

Enjoying the big water slide grandma rented, it was so fun for the kids. We wish the weather would have been better mid 70's

The four wheeler never stopped

Brookie's 2

Our little baby Angel is 2. June 26 could not come fast enough for Brooklyn. We had been talking a lot about birthday in the month of may so she knew that hers was soon and what she should expect for her big day. She kept saying "Happy Birthday"and "Dora Happy Birthday Cake"

Brooklyn loves Dora......So I made a Dora cake she even had her bag pack on. Which Brooklyn loves the bag pack. She even has one just like Dora.

Garrett was working during the day so the girls and I went to the movies, we saw "Brave" then that night we had dinner and opened her gifts. We got Brooklyn a new swing set for the back yard. It didn't get here in time for her birthday but she enjoyed a few other gifts.

 new flip flops, tooth brush, clothes, water boots, and Sunday toy

She loves putting on everyone sandals

 She got a new apron from grandma, with matching bowls, plates and cups

2 weeks after her birthday the swing set finally comes and we get it set up. It was quite the project for Garrett, only 15 hours to put it together. No Biggie. What fun that is going to be this summer.

Brooklyn height- 33 inches, 15%
                weight- 23 pounds 20%

It's Potty Time!!!

We have started to potty train Brooklyn, or I should say Brooklyn hates to wear diapers now. About 2 weeks ago I could not keep a diaper on Brooklyn, she would rip if off any chance she got and run around naked or go find underwear to try and put on. So I thought she so ready. We are still trying to master it, she hates the diaper but careless if she pees on the floor or in her underwear. I don't know I guess we will see how the next few weeks go.

She just woke up from a nap, that explains the crazy hair. She's getting ready to help me make cookies.
