Summer + Friends

{Summer Love'n Happened So Fast}

Summer is slipping right by. Especially with a little baby girl on her way in a week! Hailey invited us to her parents pool on Saturday and the kids were in heaven! Paityn can totally swim all over the place and Presley (with life jacket on for my peace of mind) just jumps and slides all over that pool! They're getting so big and in this way I am loving it!


This picture makes me laugh because the girls got into a little argument while we were swimming because Presley insisted that Paityn kept pushing her down the slide. So when they saw this picture, the first thing Presley said was 'See mom, you can see her hand pushing me down!' EVIDENCE!

Plug that nose Paity-poo! Good girl!

Devin showing off his signature 'Bucko' face! As well as his 2 bee stings for the day...one right between the eyes and the other on his ear! He wasn't the only one stung. Mike and Matt got attacked by the bees too!

Presley having the best time!


Thanks Myles & Hailey for the invite and thanks Seth & Abbie for the photos!! At least someone's capturing little bits of our summer! We had so much fun hanging out with our long time friends!

Aloha

When my dad asked me to plan a family trip I jumped all over it!
We had the BEST time on vacation in Hawaii!! Not only did the girls talk about it for months in advance, but they're still talking about it! Hawaii was for sure kid paradise! We all lived in our swimming suits, swam in the morning and night, ate snowcones, and overall enjoyed the beautiful weather, food, and views! We stayed at a Marriot timeshare on Oahu in Ko Olina and we all loved the resort and location! All of us agreed that we'd go back and stay there in a heartbeat!

Waimea Falls
I loved this hike! It was really easy and totally breathtaking! 



The house we lived in for a few months. We had to drive by to show everyone.

My personal favorite was either laying by the pool or playing on the beach! Which of course was the girl's favorite thing too!






Little Mermaids






Thanks mom and dad for such a fun trip! We will never forget it!

Gymnastics

This last school year the girls have been over at AirTime Gymnastics!

They had lots of fun doing splits, handstands, stretching, jumping, cartwheeling, balancing, and becoming more flexible!





Paityn on the beam


Paityn reminds me so much of myself. She's my cautious, practice makes perfect kind of girl. Presley is more like Devin. She's my jump in, no fear, lets do this kind of girl. We enjoyed watching them practice and improve as well as gain more confidence along the way.
