Haiden's Enchanted Forest Birthday party complete with scavenger hunt started us off this month. Then a visit with McKayla and the pups next. She got to help with the redo painting of Kaylee's bedroom door. More puppy play came when the Bakx dropped off Freya for the weekend as they went for a fun celebration weekend. They played really well even though Roaklee thought he was still 11 instead of 40 pounds and Freya thought she was 40 instead of 5 pounds : )
The next birthday party was for Nicki. The girls got to go hang out for dinner and playtime before a fun nighttime bike ride. That evening Mommy got to see some friends that she hadn't seen in a while thanks to Erin throwing a fun birthday celebration with a delicious taco bar. Then followed Cienna celebrating Bella's birthday with a day with a few friends going to see "Dear Even Hansen" followed by some frozen yogurt!
The next weekend we were pleasantly surprised to find that Grammy was driving down for a visit! We did some shopping around town which the girls always love to do with Grammy and then went to a musical concert in down town LB called Musica Angelica. We were given the opportunity from the girls middle school music program to go as guests with no charge. Then we went venturing to Knotts Berry Farm. Grammy bought a season pass so she is guaranteed to come back and visit! We did some sight seeing at the shops and different villages, then some fun smaller rides. Grammy then announced she was ready to go on a big roller coaster. Of course the girls both mentioned the biggest one.. "Silver Bullet" and Grammy was in for it. This is one crazy coaster but she did get shot out of a cannon, so it happened and it was amazing. She found out why she was the only one with "silver" hair on that ride :)
The next day she took the girls on her own for a little Dollar Store shopping and somehow came home with 24 pool noodles to place under Kaylee's bed to make it higher and more comfortable for her. She is still using them weeks later without any back problems. As the week started we were all home during a very rare lighting storm as Daddy went for a run. Only about 10 minutes later we got a call from him that a tree less than 0.5 miles from our house, which he was a couple hundred yards from at the time, got struck by lighting and caught on fire. We have an amazing fire department that saved the house and any other nearby structures.
We headed south the following weekend to join the Sklenicka's on their camping outing for the day. It was SO great to see them after way too long. There was talk of fishing, we got to catch up on each others lives, Mommy fed birds with Jackson as the rest of the family went on a paddle boat with Uncle Joe. Their was story telling and tree climbing, and mostly enjoying being together again.
Yet another birthday was for Clara. She designed her own birthday to be with friends in her backyard, eating pizza, playing games, and smores for dessert!
The final weekend of the month included a skills assessment for gymnastics... Oh how they have been improving like crazy every month. Check out some of the videos. One of first time skills this month was a double back dismount off bars for both of them. And then we all went with the Marshall and Vigliotti girls to go ice skating. It was our girls very first time. We all had so much fun. Cienna hung with Lexie and took it a little low key but did fantastic. Kaylee went a little full board with Nicki and Adi and ended up with quite a few more bruises than everyone else. They're both excited to go back sometime.
School, work, gymnastics is all going great. Most of all the weekends, family and friend time make for an amazing adventure and memories to share!
Enjoy the videos and pictures!
