Girl Scouts

Well its official!!! Kenedi had now dedicated herself to be a brownie girl scout for the next year!!! She is super excited and already enjoying everything. She had been bugging me for a while to join and i kind of just shrugged it off so I finally got her signed up and she just absolutely loves it!! She is learning all kinds of new things and having lots of get together's and she just cant wait to sell COOKIES!!!! I am so proud of Kenedi and all her ambition and will to want to do anything and everything. She is growing into such a sweet young lady and i just love my little Kenedi to pieces!!! Keep it up sis!!!!

Shoshone falls

Of course every year we have to make a trip to Shoshone falls and play. When we went this year there wasn't much water going over but its still awesome. The girls went swimming at the lake up there while Gerald and I relaxed. And here is proof again of Maddy not liking her picture taken.

Wel love the water

My girls just LOVE the water Maddy not so much but she is getting better. They beg all summer to go swimming and i hate going to the public pool i just don't like them and i just cant bring myself to buy a big pool for our back yard for the fear that one will escape and drown in the pool so my kids are stuck with the sprinklers and our little tiny blue $10 pool for now. I love these pictures of Kenedi jumping in the sprinklers!!

Trying to get a good picture of Maddy is just about impossible as you can tell in this picture she is yelling don't take my picture!!

Summer fun

Every year Gerald's work summer party is at this place here in Burley called Harris pond or as Kenedi calls it Herald pond. The kids all just love it there. There is something for them all to do. When we got there this year Kenedi just couldn't hardly contain herself she had to get in the water ASAP!!! This is one of my favorite pictures of her!!!

Maddy liked going for canoe rides.

Kenedi and Nikki really liked this swing. You had to push them really hard to get them out over the water.

Maddy turns 3

Its so hard to believe that my baby is 3 years old now. I still remember the day we brought her home it just seems like yesterday. She was so excited for her birthday this year that for the last 3 months she has been telling us every day that it was her birthday and that she wanted a Dora cake. So of course we had to have a Dora party. We decided to have a barbecue with family and friends and let the kids play in the water and have a water balloon fight. She was so excited that it was finally HER birthday. Thanks to everyone who came and celebrated with us and made the day special for our little baby girl!!

She was so excited about her cake she got into it before her party.

She is our little "girly girl." Happy Birthday Maddy girl we love you so much!!!!

Swim lesson's

Of course we cant go through the summer with out having to go to swimming lessons. It's Kenedi's favorite part of summer!! She has learned so much this summer. She is treading water in the deep end swimming laps and of course her all time favorite swimming on her back!! I was kind of nervous to put Maddy in because she is terrified of the water but i think it did her some good. She did so much better than i thought she would. We made it through one session and i don't think I am going to get away with out another one Kenedi reminds me daily that she needs to go again.

Maddy

These are just a few of the picture's that my friend Sarah took of Maddy for her 3rd birthday. They all turned out so cute!!
