Friday Night Fun

We had some friends over last night to cookout and swim. We are all in a small group together and haven't seen each other much this summer. We had a great time hanging out and swimming with everyone.

Claire 22 months and Carson 7 months

We have been busy this summer. Claire loves going to My Gym every week and loves to show us her dance and songs that she has learned. We have been to the waterpark twice with some of our friends. She and her friend Peyton have a great time together. Claire is talking more and more each day. She loves balloons, airplanes, balls, her babies and playing outside. She will be starting school at the first of August. She will go every Wednesday and every other Thursday. I'm anxious to see how many new things she will be learning. The school is right behind our house, so it will be great to just walk her to school each morning.

Carson is doing great since his surgery. He had another post-op appointment this past week and she said his nose was looking really good. We'll follow up in 6 months and then yearly. He is eating baby food and loves it! He gets so excited when I put on his bib. He knows what is coming. He has started scooting all over the house. He loves to follow us wherever we go. He is sitting with some support and is getting his first two teeth. It's hard to believe how fast he is growing. I did just give him his 2nd haircut this week. The boy has a lot of hair!

The Waterpark

We had a playdate at the waterpark last week. It was our second time to go and Claire loved it. She and her friend Peyton had a blast. With it being so hot here, we will probably go a lot this summer.

Grammy and Aunt Judy's Visit

Mom and Aunt Judy came out to visit while Josh was out of town. It was Aunt Judy's first visit to Bakersfield so we took her to Buck Owens Crystal Palace. She is a big Elvis fan so she had to have her picture taken with the King! We had a wonderful week visiting and showing Aunt Judy some of the sites of Bakersfield.

4th of July

We went to Corrie and Corey's house for the 4th of July. We had a great time swimming, eating great food and visiting with everyone. When it got dark, Josh, Josh Conley and Corey put on a firworks show for all of us.
