Family Trip!

Two weeks ago we took our first family vacation in years.  We took the weekend and drove to Vista, California.  Where we stayed with my Aunt Amber.  We didn't do anything touristy but that's alright.  All Keanan wanted to do is go to the beach and that's what we did.  It was a trip for firsts.  Keanan and Olivia's first time going to the beach and Dan and I went snorkeling for the first time.  It end up being just one of those nice relaxing trips!

4th of July

Our 4th of July was that coolest day we have had in a long time.  

We decided to enjoyed the weather by going to the park as a family!  

The kids really enjoyed the firework show this year.  The nice thing about our firework show is that we don't have to go anywhere to watch it.  We just grab a couple of chairs and sit in our driveway.  I'm always amazed at how good our show is, especially for such a small town.  I'm really sad I didn't get any pictures but there's always next year.

Exciting Events!

 Event #1

In the last couple of weeks Olivia decided to potty train herself!  I have always been told that girls are easier to potty train but Olivia proved that wrong for me.  She was so stubborn and wanted nothing to do with it.  I tried everything for a year.  I don't know what change her mind but I'm grateful she is finally potty trained.

 Event #2

Congratulation Dan!  

 This last Friday Dan became a US Citizen! I am so excited for him!  For him it just a paper but for me it means new opportunities for us.   

 Waiting for Dan to come out!

Hanging with Friends!

 Gracie, Olivia, Madison, and Keanan

Spending the day with ours friends Gracie, and Madison!

 Playing with homemade peanut butter play-dough.  Well three are playing and Olivia is eating! 

Grandma Oba's Visit

 Grandma Oba came to visit at the beginning of June.  The kids always get so excited when family comes to visit.  The kids talked grandma into playing outside in the heat almost everyday.  While she was here we found a fun new mall.  Its an outdoor mall that has misters, so you can still enjoy it in the 100 degree weather.  It also has a splash pad for the kids. 

 Play outside with buckets of water!

Look at how strong I am!

 Everyone is helping Dan work outside!

Thanks again for coming to visit!

Keanan's Pre-School Graduation!

 

Keanan's pre-school class!

 

Keanan has really loved going to pre-school.  His teacher said that Keanan helped everyone want to learn. Keanan will miss his friends in pre-school but he is really excited about starting Kindergarten in August!

 

 He looks so cute in his hat!

 They wanted to throw their hats like they do at the high school graduations!

 After the presentation the kids got to enjoy some water games!

 

Olivia stole Keanan's hat as soon as we got home and she just looked so cute in it!
