Some cousin fun!

This fella in the water.... he's about 40+ years old. We had so much fun laughing at him!! He still totally works and kicks and swims under water LOL. This was my brother-in-law's toy when he was little. They sure don't make toys like this anymore!

He did need some help getting back out again ;)



Getting ready for some pool time!


Mikayla and J were SOOOO happy to see each other!! They play so well together!

Mikayla and N.... they really love each other. Such a sweet relationship they have.

I love this floaty, it cracks me up!!!

"Walk in" (instead of drive in) movie LOL - It was so nice to be outside (once it cooled off a bit) and watch a movie in total comfort :)

Good times!!!!

Picnic at school!!!

I absolutely love Mikayla's school. They not only take really good care of my little girl, and teach her.... they have a LOT of fun too. They hosted a family picnic and we had such a good time. My goodness it was HOT though.... 7:30 at night and still over 90 degrees....sitting out in the hot sun... the bouncy was the only shade the parents had LOL!! It was still a really good time and I'm so happy we went!

Bouncy fun....

Rosy cheeks!!! she was HOT and having a blast!!

of course some time for tire swings...:)

At the drive-in's

We took Mikayla to her first ever drive in. What a BLAST we had - well minus the part that she didn't much like the movie (Shreck 3 or whatever it is) she was very scared of some of the characters. But in typical Kirsten fashion - I photographed the event. It really was a lot of fun! We didn't stay for the 2nd movie becuase well it was almost 11:00 at night (too late for a 4 year old) and I really had no interest in it LOL....

um....camping or movie??

Just chillin Princess style!

VBS

My dad graciously took on the challenge of entertaining a 4 year old for the whole entire week (well mostly)... he was exhausted by Friday!!! Actually he was probably exhausted by Tuesday but he'd never say it! Well..... yes he would..... hee hee.....

We met at my park and ride in the mornings and off to VBS they went, it was a great time. Here is her VBS week :)

No cavity club!!!

I'm so proud of Mikayla, we had our six month check up this morning and she did such a good job!!! She sat in the chair like a big girl while Miss Brenda polished and cleaned (even used the sucker thing). I just can't say how amazing this little girl is. While my teeth were being polished, she was just chattering away with Miss Brenda. I think even Brenda enjoyed having us there today!

Boat Show

We went to the boat show this past weekend. It was so nice to be out of the heat for awhile and still on boats... LOL kind of weird huh. Of course we picked out a favorite motor boat (a jet black VIP) oh it IS amazing. I think we'll be crossing over from sail boats to motor boats for awhile. We've had sail boats together for almost 15 years and 7 of them with our boat docked in the same area. It sure is fun to look at them!

Here she is trying out some new boats :)

Pools, bubbles, shark fins, kites and fun!!!

Starting out the weekend at the pool - ahhhhhh feels gooooooood!

Then we set up camp on the beach..... It was so hot and so much direct sun, we brought our own shade :)

Mikayla had a skin rash (caused by strep) so I had her play inside the gazebo out of the direct sun (at least part of the time).

What is better than a Princess kite..... come on now.....(one of Mikayla's quotes... say it in your head with a southern drawl.... come on now - that's what she sounds like)

Bubbles on the beach!!! YAY!!!

Michael and Mikayla were exploring and found a fin.... yes... a real live (probably shark) FIN!! EWWWWWW it was pretty fresh.... ick ick ick

My little poser

Goofball

Cheeseball

Pool time!!! (and time to wash off sand - brilliant plan and more comfortable for the long ride home!)

We had a nice relaxing time!!!! I'm so happy we can enjoy just enjoying!!!! Now I did find something out about Mikayla this weekend, I had a suspicion but it was MORE than confirmed.... she is NOT ready to ask Santa for fishing gear (which is what she had previously stated)..... you wouldn't believe how squeemish she is... 10 times (or more) WORSE than me.... there is NOOOOOO way she could handle catching a fish (yet) even seeing the crab shells on the beach sent her running (and screaming) (and crying) for cover!
