Summer Time!

Those of you who know me know that I LOVE summer. Everything about it makes me smile--warm weather (even HOT weather), sunshine, longer days, playing outside, swimming, running...I could go on and on!

We kicked off the summer with a perfect Memorial Day weekend and have been going strong ever since. I bought a baby pool at the store randomly on Saturday of Memorial Day weekend. Then our neighbors gave us the slide for this sweet water slide setup! The girls were stoked.



We, of course, had to have our friends come over and swim.

 
And then we made homemade ice cream for all our neighborhood friends... yum!
 
 
Monday night some of our other neighbors invited us over for a little party. There were a whole bunch of older kids there and Cameron desperately wanted to play with them. She dribbled her heart out for awhile on the side then planted herself down to watch all the big kids play hoops. Soon my little one, soon you'll be schooling all the boys on the b-ball court...just like your Mommy once did!
 

While Cameron was busy watching the basketball game, Sydney found the puppies. Daddy, I think you're in trouble, if it's up to this little one there will be a puppy in our backyard by the end of the summer! HA

 
The weekend after Memorial Day Ryan & I ran the Berthoud 5K, and Cameron ran her very own 1K race. She LOVES to run so I was really excited to sign her up for this. She did great. It was definitely hard for her, but she ran/walked the whole thing by herself! She was pretty excited when there were so many people cheering for her at the finish line! I was very proud of my little runner.  
 













Later that weekend we got out the sand table and the girls had a ball. I won't go into too many details, but you can see...they got a little crazy! HA



This is a cute picture of Sydney at the park. Not quite sure when it was...


There is this Food Truck/Concert in the park thing near our house on Monday nights. Last summer Sydney went to bed at 6:30pm every night so we were never able to go check it out. Well we decided to try it out a couple weeks ago and it was a lot of fun! Sydney found this railing and was swinging away on it. She's pretty darn strong!




Little flip flop girl.


Sydney is such a funny kid. She's been really into sitting in the baby doll strollers lately. HA


A couple weeks ago Cameron suddenly started drawing faces. Now she draws "Funny Faces" all the time.



This is a little random, but my dad took a trip with my Grandpa, and a bunch of other WW2 veterans to DC to see the memorial. This is a picture they sent us.

 
I saw this golden doodle puppy at the park and couldn't believe how stinkin' cute it was! Seriously it was like a stuffed animal. There was actually two of them. Oh my goodness, I WANT ONE!
 
 
Here's Cameron climbing the rocket ship at the park. So fun.
