Sweet Summertime

Last night, it was finally cool enough for Will to be outside. Between all the rain we had and then from that to extremely warm weather, the little fella hasn't been out of the house much! Last night, the temperature was in the low 80's, so we took advantage of it! Will rode in the stroller like a big boy- without his carseat - for the first time, and he liked it much better! Hopefully, now we can start taking more walks!

Swim Lessons

Henry and Caroline did swim lessons for the first time this year. We originally were only doing them one week, but after that week was over we decided it wouldn't hurt for them to have some more. Ha! Caroline definitely needed more and still needs more. =)) She is slowly getting comfortable going under water, but it takes her about 5 seconds to catch her breath, close her eyes, then go under but still leave the top of her head dry. Haha! 

They are so sweet to each other =)). Turned around to check on them and they were holding hands.

They also fight like twins/siblings. Rose joined us the second time around to lessons. Henry wanted his picture with her, but Caroline wasn't feeling like sharing Rose. Ha!

Introducing "Rose"

Aunt Ashley gave Caroline a life-size Barbie doll for her birthday. It is slightly creepy, but Caroline loves it!! The first couple days we had a lot of fun with her. Ha! We decided to name her "Rose" after her Aunt Ashley Rose. =) Here are the first few adventures of Rose...

4th Birthday Party

We celebrated Caroline's birthday again with the backyard water bash. We rented the slip and slide again this year, and it was a hit with the little bit older kids this year. Caroline loved it last year, but I'm not sure she even played on it this year. We had a backyard full of kids and parents, and it was so much fun celebrating our big four year old! Her birthday fell on a Monday, so we had another little get together then with friends and family. I really just wanted another reason to eat birthday cake. =)
