An Exciting Week!

We had company last week (Grandma Bonnie, Papa Jim, Aunt Becky, and Uncle Doug) so we were kept busy with a lot of fun family get togethers. They stayed up in Birch Bay so we went to the beach, had barbeques, went on fun outings, and most of all enjoyed the wonderful family that God blessed us with. Here are some pictures of the week...

Even though it was my sissy's birthday I got new Thomas underwear, which I was so proud of! I''m almost completely potty trained, Yay Sam!

Throughout this summer's swimming lessons the club has had the little pool closed so I haven't been able to swim, but for the 4th of July they had it open so Elijah and I took advantage of this opportunity and the sunny day and took a dip!

Later in the day (on the 4th) we went with our friends down to Clear Lake and enjoyed a little sunshine and swimming. There was hardly anyone there! Before we left I got tired of waiting for everyone to get ready so I took a reading break in my floaty.

In the Lake...this photo is a combination of the bright sunshine and me not enjoying actually being in this pirate ship.

Getting water for our sand castle that Mrs. G helped build!

Lily wanted to go for pizza on her real birthday so after we went out for birthday dinner we went down to the celebration at the park. They had the big Jump Zone toys there and I went down the big slide. This is only funny because earlier in the week I went to the Jump Zone and had to be rescued from a small slide by one of the workers because I wouldn't go down.

Lily and I laughing at each other and having fun while we wait in line

Wow, this dolphin is fast

Waiting for it to get dark

We bought just a few fireworks and we had fun watching them from the back of our car

The moon was really neat on the 4th

I didn't want a smore, only the marshmellow

See?

Reading with my sissy in her room... a little quiet break

I like summer and swimming in the backyard. I'm going through a homebody stage and just like to stay home

Enjoying Lily's new little toys. Isn't she nice sharing her little Polly Pockets with me? (Yes, I am sitting on the table trying to get a closer look into the little dollhouse)
