Father's Day Weekend

Last weekend we went up to Ryan and Sarah's house for Father's Day. Mark, Diane, Spencer, Grandma, Grandad and my parent's were all able to come, too. We had a great time hanging out together! Of course, Kaitlynn was the center of attention most of the time.

Oh...did you want to share that snack with me Grandma?? Check out her adorable hat and dress that my mom made her! She has an orange one with matching hat, too!

Let's see if I can help you boys with your game...
Wow Uncle Ryan!Grandma gave her this purse and she carried it all over the place that weekend. She's becoming such a little lady!
Happy Father's Day Daddy! Kaitlynn drew him a picture which he hung up in his locker at work. Matt is an amazing Daddy and is even going to get to start watching her once a week again this Fall when I go back to school. She's so lucky to get that extra time with him!
She has recently discovered the oars (sp?) that had been leaning up against the tv stand in the guest bedroom as a decoration. She is now carrying them all over the house!
Here's another purse she was carrying our at our house last week.

Quick Pool Adventures

Last week I got out Kaitlynn's little pool from Grandma and Grandpa Hardie. The water was still pretty cold so she didn't really care to be in it for long. In fact, I had time to take these 3 pictures very quickly and then she spent the rest of the time trying to escape to walk up the deck steps! You would think she would like to wander around the yard freely but all she wants to do is climb up the steps.

And...there she goes!I also wanted to share some pictures of our new fence and decorations from my parents on top of our kitchen cabinets. The kitchen pictures didn't turn out too great but you get the idea! We absolutely LOVE having our fence. It was the best investment we've ever made. Tucker is such a better dog now that he can run freely and it's just nice feeling like it's our own space to hang out in.
He has a new job which is to chase the squirrels away from the bird feeder. He's getting really good at it!
Here's a view of the deck. We have been hanging out just about every evening. It's just so quiet and relaxing. I hope when we move someday we can find another house with woods behind us.
Here's the kitchen...sorry they're really dark!
