Cienna - 4 Years, 7 Months... Kaylee - 2 Years, 2 Months!

It was definitely a summer month which included homemade watermelon Popsicles, water days at home, with the neighbors, at the Geithmans, and at the beach with the Harpers.  There was even a day at the Reptile Zoo.

Each weekend consisted of an exciting event.  We want to say thanks again to the Dunbar's for including us in their Disney Adventure to start off this last month.  The next weekend Mommy got to play in a soccer tournament and we all routed her on, at least until nap time.  Following that, Uncle B came to visit and hung around for a BBQ and Quad party.  We headed on the road to Mammoth in the middle of last month for Bluesapalooza!  The Bakx/Ferrario's hosted our family at their fantastic cabin and we all got to enjoy a weekend of Blues and Brews!  Our neighbors Mark and Patty offered us a great opportunity to join them at an Angels game the Sunday after, which Uncle Joe and Dana were also able to come.  Considering the game started at noon, the girls did pretty well to survive the long day (a little spaced out but having fun).  The last weekend was huge for the whole family since Mommy took a trip alone to Northern California to celebrate Jenna's bachelorette and shower.  It was a great time hanging out with an amazing group of friends and got to see Grammy, Grandpa, and even Poppa and Nana thanks to all the help getting from place to place.  Daddy and the girls had a great time together enjoying a get together at the Harper's and fun in the sun.  We were happy to be back together as a family to close out the month!

Since watching some Olympics, Cienna has been determined to perfect her handstands and learn a cartwheel.  She gave a go at riding her bike without training wheels, and got to hold a couple of snakes.

Kaylee has been moving along with potty training!  Her attention span for art has noticeably increased this month with much more coloring, painting, and memorizing books (Has been helpful to have a good big sister influence in this department).

There, as always, has been plenty of family dance parties and sing alongs.  The girls still love to help out around the house and in the kitchen.  Making parfaits has become a favorite, partially because they get to clean up the mess by putting it in their bellies.

Unfortunately their was a camera recall and ours was in the shop for a few weeks, so some quality may have been compromised, but you can't hide the cuteness!
