4th of July weekend

We went down to Mesquite over the 4th of July with my family and had such a great time. We spent the majority of each day at the pool with the kid's to let them swim but also because it was 113 degrees! It was such a fun pool with a little waterslide which Riley took full advantage of and also became quite the swimmer. Kalli just wanted to show us her tricks (which consisted of her dunking her head under water), this is such a huge turn of events from last year when she hated every minute of swiming lessons. They had so much fun and NEVER wanted to leave the pool. Thanks Mom and Dad for a nice, relaxing weekend we had such a blast!

She is our "Superstar"!









At the top are some pictures of Kalli's year end dance performance. She had such a great time this year and loves going to dance each week, the girls named their class the "Superstars" (hence the name on their shirts). Jett was a blasted mess as soon as she turned around and started to dance, he said he almost had to put on his sunglasses. Trust me if I would have had another camera that is a video in itself but I thought it be much more important to get her dancing her little heart out and still have a husband who would speak to me (don't tell I am sharing this story over our blog ;). Can't wait for next year!

We had a week with our Kalli so here are some moments I would like to share. I took her to my doctor's appointment last Wednesday, so she could hear the baby's heart beat, and of course obviously his OB day. I noticed her keep looking at the door every time someone would walk in, which should have made me realize she would say something because she just had that look in her eye. Sure enough as loud as she can out popped "Mom, why is everyone that comes in here NOT skinny?" Luckily there was a cute couple sitting next to us just busting a gut but I was mortified...love her!


Finally, she decided to comb out her own hair and got it stuck and I mean STUCK! It took us 2 hours to get it undone (thanks to Jett and his patience). I really thought we were going to have to cut it out and I was loosing it because it has taken forever to get her hair to finally grow but through all the tears and screaming her Dad saved the day and her hair :)
