Watch out Gilbert, here they come. . .
Jenna sent me these adorable pics of Kadie and Mckaley together. You gotta laugh at the two of them. They have so much fun playing together. Its amazing how little they fight for two and a half year olds. Sometimes we even catch them talking quietly to each other and Jenna and I are like, "Oh no, we are in trouble with these two!" No matter where life takes us, I hope the girls grow up to have a great friendship as we are so lucky to have the Watson's as friends! Thanks for sending me these photos Jenna!




Father Day explanation
A bit more about Father's Day, because no one seems to get the picture. So, Mckaley decided that she wanted to make crafts for Dad on Father's Day. We took a trip to Michaels and found a pink T-shirt, fabric paint, some cool yellow visors, and a foam drink cooler thing. Mckaley then put foam stickers on the drink holder that said, "I'm the coolest" and put "My Day" on dads visor and "His Day" on her visor. She also made the T-shirt say, "I (heart) my Dad" with her handprints in the heart. The last gift was the poem that's on the post below, with her footprint next to it framed for Tyler. All in all, it was a quiet Father's Day, but Mckaley and Tyler had a great day together. She loved giving him her gifts and she wore her visor ALL day. Even to dinner that night haha! It was pretty funny. Hope everyones Father's Day was as relaxing as ours :) Oh, and for the pic, I'm not really sure why they switched visors- a daddy-daughter thing I guess.

Walk a little slower Daddy
"Walk a little slower, Daddy!" said a little child so small.
"I'm following in your footsteps and I don't want to fall.
Sometimes your steps are very fast, sometimes they're hard to see;
So walk a little slower Daddy, for you are leading me.
Someday when I'm all grown up, you're what I want to be.
Then I will have a little child who'll want to follow me.
And I would want to lead just right and know that I was true;
So, walk a little slower, Daddy, for I must follow you!!"

First Movie

If you don't break some rules, you miss all the fun. . .
I had to run to the San Tan Mall to return a few things. While there, Mckaley saw the splash park and I couldn't resist letting her play in it. And, no, I didn't have a change of clothes or a bathing suit for her-oops. Oh well, she didn't complain about being wet once, and I popped the car seat in the wash right after. Not a bad price to pay for so much fun :) 


I'm not going to lie, I thought about buying her a new outfit at Pumkin Patch to change her into. But, I had a slight heart attack when I looked into the window for seriously 2 seconds and when I looked back Mckaley had taken off. Yikes! Only to the bug park right next to the splash pad, but still my heart skipped a beat so that option went right out the window haha.

Zoo under the stars

The Watson's invited us to Zoo Under the Stars the other night. It was member preview night, so we could all get in for free. It was a great excuse to get out of the house for the night and to keep the kids up late :) It's been so hot here, that we really can't go to the zoo during the days, so this was perfect. The weather was great and at dusk all the animals that don't usually move were walking around. It was really great to see the lions and tigers. My favorite part was getting to fee the giraffes. They let you walk up, get eye level to them, and feed them their nightly snack. I've always thought giraffes were pretty, but up close they are even prettier! Their eyes are unbelievable. The zoo also set up jump houses and water slides. We let the girls go into the jump house, but skipped out on getting wet. I didn't have my camera (long story!), but Jenna gave me this pic of Tyler and Mckaley looking at the lions. Thanks Jenna!

Dude Ranch in Colorado
My aunt gifted the entire family with a trip to the C Lazy U Ranch in Colorado. At first I was a little hesitant about staying at a dude ranch, but I can honestly say it was one of my favorite trips. They had everything you could possibly want to do there. We spent a lot of time on the horses, but also dabbled in trap shooting, archery, fly fishing, massages, and swimming in the heated pool. Thanks for such a great trip Libby!
