Cheer claps and cartwheels!

We enrolled Paige on a competitive cheer squad...and she absolutely loves it!!!!  She is CONSTANTLY practicing cartwheels, cheer claps and her "libs"!!!  I may be out of my prime, but I do remember a thing or two from my cheer days!!  It's fun to watch her be so excited about something.  I can NOT wait for her first competition!!

Scary Water

So after taking the kids to the indoor pool and seeing Mason's fear we decided we needed to get him in the water as much as possible.  He looks happy here...but looks can be deceiving!  Paige got a sprinkler for her birthday so they took it to Mona's.  Mason won't even get near it!!  So, we bit the bullet and enrolled him in swim lessons.  Lord help us!!!

Driving Ms. Daisy

This picture cracks me up at how serious Paige looks!  Mona says she's actually quite the little driver!!

Birthday Big Girl

It's crazy to think that our baby girl is already 4 years old!!!!  She has grown so much in this past year and is growing up to be quite the little sweatheart!  She has the sweetest soul that is always wanting to help others and be the teacher!  She had such a blast at her party.  This year we decided to have it at Mercury Gymnastics.  I highly recommend it to anyone having a kids party!  They do all the clean up and it wears the kids out!!  Paige has this face she makes when she's intrigued where she raises one eyebrow.  It's the cutest.  Well, that's the face we got when we showed her the picture of her brand new big girl Hello Kitty bike that was waiting at home for her!!!  She was super excited!!  Overall, awesome time had by all!

Photo Bomb

Joe had to work this past Saturday and I wanted to get out of the house with the kids.  Recently, they built an indoor waterpark in Liberty at a hotel so I decided to give it a try.  I wanted to get a pic of Mason in his little wife beater before we left and Paige totally photo bombed me! HAHA!

The kids had an awesome time and want to go every single day for the rest of the summer!  It was Mason's first time in the pool (well, since he was around 6 months old).  He took quite a while to warm up (about an hour), but finally was getting a bit more comfortable.  I think we will definitely give that place another try.  Perfect for a rainy summer day and not a bad price.  

Never Grow Up

Paige had her preschool graduation ceremony this past week.  She didn't graduate, but some of her classmates did so they all put together a program.  It was THE cutest ever!!  However, Paige decided to come down with a severe case of stage fright and froze on the stage.  We knew she knew the moves and songs, but she just stood there.  At one point, I really thought she was going to break down and cry.  Poor baby girl!  Every now and then she would join in, but for the most part she stood there.  Makes me a little worried about enrolling her in this competitive cheer squad, but only time will tell.  At the end of the program, they played a video of pictures from the year to a song by Taylor Swift called, "Never Grow Up"...if you haven't heard it, I highly suggest listening.  It brought me to tears and Paige wasn't even graduating.  Oh my!  What am I gonna do next year or even worse, high school graduation???

Helping Hands

We FINALLY got a new grill since ours broke about 3 years ago.  We picked it up and Mason thought he could be a big help for daddy!  He actually had his hands on the grill the entire way around the house and in to the backyard!  He was so proud of himself.  

Shady Puzzles

What??  Doesn't everyone put their puzzles together with sunglasses on?  Those things are bright!!!

Cuteness

We often look at this kid and can't believe we were blessed with not only one beautiful kid, but TWO!  He's developing such a little personality (not always great, but still)!  Love my baby boy!!

More moments

One of the many awesome parts of having your mother in law watch your kids, is getting pictures like this throughout your day!  I got this text message saying, "Kissy break" Seriously, how did we get so lucky???  Love these two!!
