We felt like last month's blog was just sent out, but more fun was had in the meantime. Cienna and Kaylee had their end of the year pre-school field trip to the Cabrillo aquarium where we got a special presentation and got to hatch our own grunions, then play in the bay with all the friends. That weekend Roman and Larry came over to brew some beer. Preparing for RJ's 40th Birthday we started a Blue Moon batch per his request! Then we headed over to the Bakx's the next day to celebrate Rylee's Birthday. Never ending fun continued with a visit from the Natal's. The girls loved having play time with their cousins. Mommy got to spend a whole day with all four girls on Friday, (RJ and Megan got some alone time in Catalina, we will be switching roles next week when they get all the girls and we go out) with a trip to the grocery store, then story time, and then we had to show them our neighborhood park. We finished the weekend with a nice BBQ and a safe trip back home for the Natal's. That week we were welcomed again by the Ferrario's along with the Bakx to a pool day, which could have been warmer for Mommy getting into the pool with both girls, but we had a great time anyway. Next was the 4th of July joining our traditional neighborhood party at the Douglas's including more pool time... this time with Daddy, Auntie Kimmie and Haiden. Continuing the fun we headed to San Diego to visit Uncle Joe and Dana. We fit in a trip to a new playground, the worst/best burger ever at Slater's (Depending on who you ask), and got to finally see the Dolphin and Pet show at Sea World. Then following Daddy's Lasik (more to follow) we spent the following weekend in our home town at Shoreline Village renting a Surrey and cruising past the Queen Mary and along the beach front, followed by a lunch at The Yard House. Lots of time was again spent at the park this month playing and picnicking with friend including a play day with the Shiroma's, meeting up with Abby and Maddie (pre-school friends), along with Nicki and Lexie (a future Kindergarten classmate of Cienna). We also got lots of playtime with the Snow's, including a visit with Haiden!
Daddy got Lasik this month. He did and is doing fantastic and can still see! His brain is still getting used to working with his new ("better") prescription so he is in the recovery stage but we are all optimistic that it'll just take some recovery time after the surgery. He is now a pro at taking eye drops, as the doctor ordered. We'll keep you updated on the progress!
Cienna had an easy dentist appointment, and got to start her first T-Ball experience. She had a couple practices before her big first game and is having a lot of fun. She has made new friends and is enjoying the "team" spirit. We also started swimming lessons at a new Y and it has been wonderful. Cienna has been able to swim for 5 or so feet all by herself. She got a hand me down book (Little Bear) that Mommy read as a child and remarkably read a whole story by herself. There has been lots of coloring, workbooks, and playing with sister. And once you learn to ride a bike... it's like riding a bike!
Kaylee also had a dentist appointment and it was like she was at an amusement park she had such a good time. Just like when she is swimming. She has excelled with the new instruction and has total confidence in the pool along with knowing her boundaries. She continues to love all animals and even got to feed pet squirrels and many other animals at the "Ferrario Zoo" thanks to Jeff! She recognizes all her capital letters, when she wants to, and is now working on writing them down. She loves engaging others in conversations about their family and each one of their names, and nobody can resist not answering to her sweet face...."what's your name?.... what's your Mommy's name?....What's your doggies name?....etc.
Who can resist any of these sweet faces? Enjoy.
