Swimmin'

The girls LOVE swimming!

 Can you tell?

 Lacey is so brave she loves to just float around the pool, last year she wanted you to hang on to her.  This year she's confident enough to go by herself with her flotation devices on.

 Katie loves the water too!  I got her a baby pool that she could play in but the truth of the matter is she'd much rather be in the big pool!

Papa's Motorcyle

Look a the motorcycle Mama!

She had so much fun riding with Papa!

Lacey was sleeping when all of the motorcycle action was going on earlier when Kylie got to go for a ride, so she settled for reving it up!  Katie did NOT enjoy the motorcyle AT ALL.

Auntie Samantha's House!

The girls LOVE going over to someone else's house to visit

especially if they've never been to the house before.

They were super excited to be able to go and visit Auntie Samantha and Uncle Ashtons house

because of course that meant that they would be able to play with their cousins!

They REALLY liked playing in the tree 'house'.  The little girls, Zoey and Katie had fun swinging on the swingset.  It was nice to be able to visit and for all the kids to play together, expecially since they don't see each other very often.

Slip 'n' Slide!

The girls love to play on the slip n slide!

See for yourself...

At the car wash

We had a 'car wash' in the backyard today! Kylie & Lacey first washed her Jeep and then on to Lacey's little red coupe. They had so much fun, especially once they started to get bubbles all over the place.

I think Lacey had more bubbles and water on her than the car!

Then Kylie joined the bubble fun!

And sometime washing cars gets dangerous enough you need to put you sister's too small bike helmet on for protection. :)

Hula Hooping

Kylie loves to hula hoop and ever since seeing a couple of her friends hula hoop at the school talent contest she has been trying to master it.

She is doing great, much better than I could ever do! See for your self! Video at the end of the pictures

Jetta and the JellyBeans were at our local summer festival. Jetta also sang Happy Birthday to Kylie since it was only 2 more days until her birthday. She thought that was so cool!

At the Rodeo

We went to the Rodeo! Kylie loved it, the only thing she didn't approve of is the calf roping. I got to say I agree with her, that is my least favorite part too.

Lacey liked all the 'neigh neighs'. She did very well, the rodeo started at 7pm and ended at 10pm. So the evening definatley ran well into her bedtime but she was a real trooper! They had intermission half way through so we went and got more to drink, Lacey got some popcorn (her favorite) and Kylie secured some cotton candy and a cowgirl hat. I think she looks so darn cute in it.

After the Rodeo Kylie talked me into letting them go on a couple of rides. Lacey really seemed to enjoy the 'helicopter ride' and kept waving to Kylie the whole time. Of course she isn't old enough to go on any by herself so I went with her.

I've always wanted to be in one of those 'Wild West Old Time Photos', however I've never managed to do it. So, I asked Kylie if she was interested and she was! What do you think?

Of course the clown, he was actuallypretty funny most of the time. Lacey did NOT like him though, when he came close to the fence she took off AWAY from him.

Kylie liked the bucking horses, she though they were pretty cool! I didn't get a picture of the bulls, but she was equally intrigued by them too. She told Daddy they were real bulls and they werr big!

Who can forget the awesome trick rider! She was great, riding 2 horses at the same time barefoot, too cool!
