4th of July 2011

We had a wonderful fun filled 4th celebrating the great country we're so blessed to live in.
Dave took the big girls to a movie in the morning, then in the afternoon ALL my family came over to our house for a swim party then we headed to the ballpark for the fireworks show.







With all the cousins. We loved having Chads kids as an addition this year. Madix LOVED Mckayla.


Ty and Becker
All my girls hair is a bit scragley cause they were all swiming, but look at those cute chubby cheeks, I love em!

Some Summer Fun

We went to Big Surf with some cousins on Monday and had a great day. Ty has been begging everyday to go back. They just can't grasp the concept that things like that costs lots of money:)
With cousin Braxton
Tyler is just barely tall enough to go on the BIG slides, so I figured before the lines get long lets do a big one first! Poor girl is tall but still only 5 and it was a long, pitch black, fast, swirvy slide. She freeked out a little:) But then we took her to the "little kid" slides and she had a blast.
Even Mads had her hands up!
All 3 of them
HUGS!
And funny faces
In the wave pool. Ty has become quite the little brave one. She wanted to be way out in the deep end when the huge wave came.

Madix on the other hand freeked out when the huge wave came and would run way out of the pool area:) But liked the little ones.
Me and Kacey
Me and my girls
What better way to end the day then with a bowl of icecream.
We've also been to the lake a few times this last month. Once with cousins. Screwzie, Mads, Thalia.
Me and my sistas, Kacey and Mel
And a fun ride on the tube.
Ty is on the left. She has become quite a pro at standing on the tube and "surfing". She has great balance.
Dave surfing
Me and Tam (a day with no kids). It was great!
Linda, Me and Alisa
And me surfing!
I LOVE SUMMER!!!

Their First B-Days

My 3 girls on their first bdays in the same dress. Trying to decide who looks most alike. Madix and Tayte? Their cheeks seemed to get a little bigger with each one:)

Graduation!!

My baby is graduated from preschool:((! This has got to be one of the scarriest times for a parent (besides them leaving home) is going on to kindergarten. In less than 2 months I'm gonna be sending her out into the real world. A big school that will have big kids, and I will no longer be the main source of influence. I just pray she has a good foundation to go from. I know she will do great and be a good example for others.
Grandma Eastman happened to be here for Tyler's first preschool graduation.

My beautiful graduate!
Great Granny even got to go and watch!
Tyler went to 2 preschools. One with a preschool down the street and another day that a group of us moms did and took turns teaching. Madix was in this one also. So Madix got to graduate her first year of preschool.

Dave was out of town and couldn't make it, so my parents came to watch.

Cousin Thalia also came.
Me and my graduates (plus Tayte)

Tayte can't wait till she can go to preschool!
Getting ready to start. Tayte really wants to be a part of the big kids.
Their CUTE preschool group. Marlee, Morgan, Tyler, Madix, Kolby (lucky boy), Kiera, Meg, Boston and Kalissa. What a fun group they've been. I really enjoyed teaching them.
It was a great program. They started by standing and saying the pledge, then singing the days of the week and months of the year.
Then they each had 3 letters they had to stand and say a little poem for.

"H is for hippo, H is for Hen, H is for Harry in my den!" They all did SOOO good memorizing all their letters and poems!
"K is for ketchup, K is for key, K is for kitten just for me."

Then they sang a really cute kingdergarten here I come song.
Then when each of them recieved their diplomas they had to say and spell their names to everyone.



And last the hat toss ofcours!! It was such a CUTE program.
Tyler with her best friend Morgan.
And topped it off with cupcakes and punch!
I'm SO proud of my graduates, they both did an AWESOME job and are SO smart!!
