4th of July!

We had a fantastic 4th of July for our first year in Carnation.  I just love our little town.  The girls had a blast driving their decked out jeep in the kiddie parade, and the rest of the days festivities.  We also celebrated Derek's 40th Birthday!  It was a relaxing day with just our family, and all around perfect.

Lake Chelan

We had a fabulous week in Lake Chelan.  We enjoyed the sunshine, pool, beach, and even met some new friends!  Savannah had a blast riding the jet-ski with Derek, and she impressed us in the pool showing off her swimming skills.  She's officially a swimmer!  Maddie is also doing great in the pool.  Savannah caught a good size trout when we went fishing, she was so proud.  She also had so much fun going on the water slides at the local water park.  We had so much fun, and can't wait to go back again (hopefully very soon)!!

Dance Pictures

The girls dance recital is next Sunday, and we just got their adorable pictures. Enjoy!

Trees!

Summer is on it's way, and the kids are thoroughly enjoying our back yard.  I've always wanted my girls to be more adventurous, and now one of their most favorite thing to do is climbing the tree in our backyard, and it brings so much joy to watch them.  We had my Sister-in-law and her family over for a BBQ yesterday, and the Cousins had so much fun together.  Of course I snapped a bunch of pictures of them playing in the trees.....
