It's what fun is!

Last year we had Lagoon season passes, and we made good use of them going more than a dozen times. The girls love it there! So, we decided to take the plunge and get passes again this year. We went for the first time Saturday, and the new roller coaster "Bombora" was a hit - even Savvy was tall enough to ride. The girls can't wait to go again.

The big bus day.

I have been driving Ky to school all year. I was going that way to drop Savvy at Preschool anyway. Ky has BEGGED all year to ride the bus with her friends, and we finally came to a compromise. She gets to ride the bus on the days Savvy doesn't have school. She has counted the sleeps all week for this day to come, and she was up bright and early this morning.

Think she was just a tiny bit excited?

Birdhouses

Kyrie went to Tyler the other day with a very good idea. She had created the blueprints for a birdhouse. Or as she put it "a house for a bird to go, and to be happy, and tweet." We had not seen her so excited for quite awhile. So, Daddy signed off on the plans. He bravely took both girls to the hardware store where he got a lot of wood and both girls got a new hammer.

It took most of the afternoon on his day off, but he helped them make and paint their houses. If that wasn't proof enough of how much he loves them - he let them hang their houses on his shed so that they can see them from their window. The girls are very proud of them, and they can't wait for the new neighbors!

Dancin'

While we were cleaning today, I uncovered a dance costume that had been handed down from cousin Raeni. It didn't fit when we first got it, and I had honestly forgotten about it. Kyrie immediately started saying how "cute" and "wonderful" it was. Now that she got it on, we may never get it off. I am quite sure she would wear it to bed and school if I let her. Savvy really wants Ky to "hurry up and grow" because she wants it. At least it will be well loved. Thanks Raeni!

daddy's little girls

They are just like Tyler in so many ways.

Horse on Mountain

Kyrie's latest work of art. She calls it "Horse on Mountain." Museum worthy in my opinion.

weekly doings...

First off, sorry for the poor quality and size on the photos. I had to use my phone because I managed to forget my camera twice this week. Anyway, yesterday was Kyrie's half-birthday at school. Since she is a summer baby, this is her chance to have a special day. We made treat bags for her friends and she took cupcakes to share. She was so excited! I especially liked when she raised her hand during circle time and when called on she said "My mom is staying in class today. I love my mom." The picture is Ky holding her birthday card from her class while the kids sang Happy Birthday to her.

On Wednesday night we went to the Circus. I will just say I am glad the girls had fun. They watched tigers, bears, and elephants. The motorcycles in the giant ball were pretty cool too.
