June...a month of pictures

We have had a busy month!  I haven't had very much time to update the blog lately.  Below are a bunch of pictures from the past few weeks.  We have had swim lesson, bible school, weekend at the lake, pool play dates, fire truck play date, and so much more! 
Hope everyone is having a great summer! :)

Morgan gives the lake a thumbs up!

Welcome to our animal den!  ROAR!!!!

Andy enjoyed celebrating his 34th birthday at the lake!

Daddy had to work on Father's Day. :(  We had fun visiting him at the station!

We had a blast at our fire truck play date at Dana's house!

Cheese!

It's been soooo hot and dry here this summer.  We are always looking for an excuse to cool off!

Morgan loved taking private swimming lessons this year.  She learned so much!

Mackenzie 15 months

15 Months!

Our busy girl is 15 months old!!  She is definitely keeping me on my toes.  Mackenzie is into everything!!!  Having a big sister that uses markers, glue, toys with small pieces is a land of adventure in Mackenzie's eyes.  For me it can be exhausting!!

Our big girl over the past month...

• Still in size 4 diapers
• Wearing 18-2T clothing...size 5 shoe
• You now have 16 teeth!!1 Isn't that crazy??!!  She is now working on her 2 yr. old molars. Her finger is always shoved in the very back of her mouth.
• She has become obsessed with drinking from a straw!
• Adding more signs to her vocabulary...she signs "all done" and "eat"
• Loves making car sounds and woof for a dog
• You love pointing to your eyes and will say "eye"
• Blows kisses to all of us
• Mastered using a fork and spoon
• Still a great eater, but can be picky occasionally
• Always wants a snack!
• You still go down so easy at night and sleep from 7:30pm-6am.
• Great napper...usually one nap a day from around 11-1:30.
• You've shown a few sassy moments and if you don't get your way you'll cry out and become a wet noodle.  Thankfully you move on from it quickly.
• You are a daredevil!!  You try standing in the carts while grocery shopping.  I definitely have to make sure you are buckled in. You always want to ride your sisters scooter or bike.  At least you are good about grabbing your helmet and trying to put it on all by yourself. :)
• You still love babies and stuffed animals and constantly hold and kiss them.
• You love chasing bubbles mommy blows for you
• You like to draw with sidewalk chalk and occasionally eats it too. :(
• No matter where we are in the house if I say it's "bath time" you run to the bathroom and try to climb into the tub all by yourself.
• We love that you understand everything we say!
• You are definitely showing a more independent and spirited side this month.  Luckily you can still be laid back (when you choose too).

We love this sweet 15 month girl!

Cowgirl Morgan

Cute little cowgirl!

Riding helmet on!

Getting to know the horse.

Enjoy every minute of the ride. :)

She's a natural!

I should have posted these pictures a long time ago.  Morgan enjoyed horseback riding for the first time back in the spring.  A teacher I used to work with has horses and invited Morgan over to ride.  She was sooo excited.  Morgan has a natural love for animals so she wasn't intimidated by the big horse at all.  Marcy said she held the reins like a natural.  Maybe some horseback riding lesson will be in her future.  It was a fun afternoon! :)

Vocabulary sponge

Morgan is such a sponge.  She loves learning "fancy" words and their definitions.  The latest word/definition is teaching her the meaning of compromise.  A great word for a preschooler to understand.

Here are a few new words in her ever growing vocabulary...

Morgan - "Mom you need to clean my glasses they're filthy!"
Morgan - "Before I run anymore around the house I need to hydrate with a glass of water."
Morgan (looking in a mirror) -"I look so darling!"

Dance Recital

Morgan had her end of the year dance recital last night.  She did a great job doing all her "monkey dance" moves!  We were so proud of her! 



Our cute little Monkey!

Flowers for a great dance!

Morgan loved her teacher Miss Ashley! :)
