Before Vacation

This has been a scorching Summer around here! To keep cool I had an idea to make our own "water slide" and Camdyn thought I was one cool momma after that!

Whenever we don't feel like getting all dressed and packed for the pool, we pull out the swimming pool and tuck it under the slide and have a great time!

We have however, been spending A LOT of time at our pool! Camdyn is now over her fear of "getting her face wet" and is back to being her fishy self. After a good swim this helps her settle in for a 2 to 3 hour nap and I happen to fall asleep with her in her chair EVERY time!--Must be the pregnancy :)

Gotta have some fun colored hair for Summer!

There are also days that I think it's just good to skip the nap and put her to bed early---this never works out as planned because she always sneaks her own nap in. Sweet girl fell asleep listening to one of her favorite songs on my phone.

Dot gets Camdyn some of Camdyn's favorite toys! She always brings a surprise package filled with goodies for Camdyn on each visit. She brought her this awesome bubble blower that blows a ton of bubbles. It puts the "bubble gun" to shame and there is no leakage!

This little guy is my sleeping partner. He will not get up until I am up and he always has some sleepy hair. Bozley LOVES us being home for the Summer.

This was taken a while back to show Maddyn all of the hard work that her Daddy and G-Dad put into her room. They worked hours and days to get this room finished and what a beauty it is! We are now still waiting on Camdyn and Maddyn's carpet to get cleaned (still waiting thanks to Groupon, they are swamped!) and then we can get everything in there. We have her bed and bedding up with a few shelves. It is so sweet and elegant.

Camdyn loves to go "shortless" around the house when she is in the comfort of her home. I noticed when I came into the room that she had put her paper doll stickers on her board and clothed them with just a shirt and panties. What a coincidence that she did this to all three girls :) :) :) (Check her out as well)

And last we come to my tower builder. She still gets excited to build a tower for her mommy. She will work diligently arranging them by certain colors and counting each piece out loud as she builds it. She then screams "Mommy, your tower is ready for you to see" and she waits on my reaction to her masterpiece each time. LOVE my little architect.

I now have all of my pictures out of my camera BEFORE we took our vacation,so up next will be our last week of vacation as a family of 3!

Golfing with Daddy and 4th of July

Well--I think Dustin and Camdyn have found a little side hobby! Anything he can get her to do with him, excites him. She loves spending time with her daddy so I know this is something that they can look forward to doing with one another.

Dustin took Camdyn golfing (9 holes) and he said she really had a great time.

He got her all dressed while I was gone (with some clothes laid out by me!) and even managed to get her bow in her hair. Knowing her...I'm sure she told him exactly how to do it.

If she wasn't hitting golf balls

she was sneaking these protein bites :)

or taking pictures of her feet

Since then we have already been to the PGA golf store and have purchased her, her very own golf club and some pink golf balls. :)

Golfing wore that little momma out!

As I type this---they will be heading out on another date tonight for ROUND 2 of golf while I have dinner with some girlfriends!

This year we had a 4th of July Extravaganza! It seems that we did a ton to celebrate our freedom and what fun we had!

Dustin's parents stayed at the Harbor for a few nights so we took advantage of the pool and Camdyn even got a patriotic heart painted on her face.

She was determined to not let that come off her face! She scurried to the mirror after nap time to double check on it---it was smudged but I was sure to not tell her the sad news.

At the harbor they also had fireworks one night. It was super busy and crowded and after driving around looking for a spot to park, we found a secret spot :) up on a hill that was PERFECT. We are sure to get that spot again next year!

Our neighborhood is great about putting on celebrations for the kids and we always look forward to every event that they put on.

They had a parade and after the parade they had a petting zoo, pony rides, ice-cream treats and a water slide. Camdyn had a blast!

On our way there she kept asking me if "her" pink pony was going to be there that was at her birthday. :)

Monday night after the guys had finished up working on Maddyn's room, we cooked out and then we headed to the nearby park where we watched fireworks again.

I picked us up some of the best suckers that were a childhood favorite of mine and Camdyn kept wanting to give them clanking "cheers"---so that we did!

Cheers to a wonderful 4th of July spent with my family and we can't wait to share it with our sweet Maddy next year!
