Cienna - 11 Years 7 Months... Kaylee - 9 Years 2 Month!

The girls had their last favorite week of the summer at acting out camp.  The finale was an Aladdin theme.  The weekend following started with the rehearsal dinner for Cobi and Bri's wedding.  The girls were super excited to be the flower girls.  Not only did we leave that evening with a couple of kittens, we also took notice of a Ford Bronco that had a for sale sign on it just down the street from the Ferrario's.  We jotted down the phone number, and we were only taking Sierra and Robbi's cats to our house for the weekend to make room for wedding guests and keep them safe during the ceremony.

The wedding was amazing. It had a game theme and everyone had a wonderful time as always at the Ferrario's!  The happy couple headed to Catalina for their Honeymoon and we got to take care of the little puppies!

The following week the girls had even more gymnastics with camp during the day followed by their normal gymnastics practices.  They got new skills and although they were quite tired, they were very excited to talk about how much fun they had!

As if we didn't have enough going on, soccer then started.  Mommy is coaching both teams again since we only have so much time in our schedule that we needed to pick practice times and locations.  She is lucky to have one of Cienna's friends, Madelynn's dad volunteer to assistant coach, and Daddy is the official assistant coach for Kaylee's team this year.  We got/picked our teams and started practice.  It seems like a lot to do, but both girls are very excited and are excelling like crazy each practice!  It's going to be a fun season.  Both Daddy and Chris got to go to coaches training together.

Then there was a phone call and test drive for the 1983 Ford Bronco, which we are now the proud owners.  The joys of a 36 year old title transfer and a membership to Triple A to avoid the DMV, we are now all excited to have a fun car to work/learn on together!!!

We had the annual beach fun day with the gymnastics team.  It's so much fun to watch the girls get to have fun and play outside of the gym environment! That weekend we had an outdoor movie showing at Wardlow park, took the top of the Bronco and cruised the neighborhood, all actually went to Super Cuts for a hair trim, and had friends over to make a fort.

Y Camp the following week for the girls and then Kaylee was excited for her dentist appointment in anticipation to being referred to see the orthodontist.  That is actually not sarcasm, she does enjoy going to the dentist, and we do have her first ortho appointment scheduled for this week.

Then we headed North after work on Thursday for a long drive to see family and friends and celebrate Poppa's newly built home.  Aunt Bridget flew in for the occasion.  We rolled in and got to catch up with her and Grammy that evening before getting some rest for a big weekend ahead.

Mommy made some plans to meet up with some good friends and their kids from her gymnastics days at the gym on Friday morning.  The girls are spoiled there and get to do whatever they want.  It will always feel like home when going to the gymnastic center, and was made even more so seeing familiar faces from when Mommy was a gymnast.

Afterward we headed to Poppa's to play in the pool.... oh, and yes meet up with the Marty's to set up for a party the next day!  It was like having a party before the party as we all set up together!  Before heading to bed we had fun making and playing wicked miniature golf course in Grammy and Grandpa's yard.

There was amazing support at the party, we saw friends that have kids going to high school that we had yet to meet, and friends of Daddy's family that drove from far away to celebrate Poppa moving back to the property!  All of whom got to enjoy listening to Grammy's band (Still Kick'n) doing amazing despite the heat.  The Marty's, Kyle's, and Rydman's, closed the party and then us and Poppa actually were the first to stay in his new home for the night!

Decent enough drive home on Sunday.  Then we got ready for the next week which included a Gymnastics video shoot to promote next Summer's Nationals in Long Beach, First soccer practice for both girls, and finalizing our Bronco title transfer.  Not a shabby week which ended with a fun dinner BBQ at the Marshall's after Open Gym and a swim time at Addison's.

That Sunday, Daddy and Roman started their batch of beer for Dani and Tim's wedding early next month.  It's a good one!  The week followed with crazy sock day at gymnastics, and some Color Me Mine ceramics.  Neither of the girls had to get a shot at their doctors appointments, although they..Kaylee wasn't too worried about it.

Kaylee then got her much anticipated bike that she got using Birthday money from Poppa.  We all had fun putting it together and taking a short bike ride after even though it was past bedtime.  Daddy had a blast with the Bakx boys on a bike ride through Huntington Beach to complete another great month!
