Kaylee's 7th Week

Emilyn and her first grade work

We love this swaddled little burrito.  Sometimes she shimmies out of her blanket, but she loves the swaddle, and sleeps much better with it.

My happy birthday heart of post it notes for Matt on his birthday.  They were all things I love about him!

Matisyn liked my idea and made her own post it note decorations.

After a big night of double header soccer games for the girls we came home and had cake and sung happy birthday to Matt!  The life of a parent!  We've got to squeeze celebrating in somewhere!

Owen and Lucas love this cabinet of Ashly's, they think it is there for them to play in!

I love Matisyn's whole look for the sheep dog festival!  She is getting some independent style these days!  We love this event each year.  It was a little crazy weather with wind and rain, but it turned out to be a nice day anyway.  Kaylee was not a fan of the wind though.  She was happiest in the bjorn snuggled up to me.  We loved the animals best!

We decided to take a detour on the way home and go the back way to Cascade Springs.  It turned out to be a very long visit.  We had a flat tire, and then a flat spare tire, and no service on our cell phones.  We finally found someone with cell service and called Mike and Wendy to bring us a pump to fill the spare.  We're grateful that they saved us.  The kids were really good, and we got a lot of time walking around the cascade springs trails while we waited!  At least we were stuck for hours in a beautiful place.  That will teach us to go the back way next time!

Happy 39th birthday to Matt!  We had our annual swim party with family and friends, had lunch, opened presents, ate cake, and enjoyed a relaxing day together.  Baby Kaylee got to swim for the first time.  The pool was heated so the water was super warm.  She loved it, and was pretty happy the whole time.  We even got some smiles from her in the water!

 Emilyn is a star for the under water camera!

 My boy loves the orange shark squirter... and his mommy!

 Lucas was very happy that Aunt Becky and Uncle Dave brought their ice cream machine with dole whip that he can eat!  It was a big hit with everyone else too!

 Megan made Matt a super cool chess set for his birthday.  The girls have been playing their own versions ever since!  Matt is excited to teach us all how to play.

 This was my first time back in the water since before I had a baby this summer.  I missed getting to swim!

 Emilyn practicing her dive.  She would get nervous at the last minute and turn it into a half jump half dive!
