4th of July

Before marshmallows

After marshmallows

For the 4th of July weekend we went to my Grandma and Grandpa's house. We had a blast swimming, playing with our cousins and basically doing anything we wanted. We came home on the afternoon of the 4th to celebrate with our dad since he didn't make it up there with us. We barbequed, roasted marshmallows and watched fireworks. It was a great holiday weekend! My mom forgot her camera when we were up at G&G's, so we just have pictures from the 4th.

Shopping

This is what my sister got to do while my dad was waiting for my mom to finish her shopping. I am just bummed I decided to go with mom and not stay with dad. Staying with dad would have been a lot more fun. My mom had no idea this was going on and when she found out that they left all the pillows there, she was not too pleased.

Potty Training

On the evening of June 16th, my mom asked my sister if she wanted to go on the potty like she often does, expecting my sister to decline the offer. On this evening my sister said, "Yes!" She not only said, yes, but actually went and continued to go about 20 times in an hour. Every time she went, she would say, "Did you hear that?" So needless to say that was the beginning of training and she has done awesome ever since. She had her fair share of accidents the following day, but after that she has been amazing. My mom says she has been way easier to train then I was, because I refused to go poop forever!!! Below is a picture of her big debut. We are so proud of her.

Playgroup Family Picnic

Our family picnic with our playgroup was the official end of our group. It is amazing how fast five years goes by. Most of us have been friends since we were babies. I am going to miss seeing them on a regular basis, but look forward to making new friends in kindergarten.

Swim Lessons

The beginning of June I started swim lessons with my good friend Jackson. It is amazing how fast you can learn to swim when you have an awesome teacher.

Father's Day!

For Father's Day we went to the Padre Game. We got a glove and my dad bought us a ball to play catch with while we were there (he's always thinking of us). It was a good game, the Padres won, though we only lasted until about the end of the 4th inning. The best part was playing catch with my dad and playing at the playground. Oh, yeah, I almost forgot about the popcorn!

Visit from Great Aunt and Great Uncle

The weekend after my birthday our Great Aunt Brenda and Great Uncle Chuck came out to CA from Iowa, while they were here they made a trip down to see us and meet us for the first time. We had such a great time with them and were so happy to finally meet them:)
