4th of July

We spent the 4th out at the lake, our 1st trip out there this year. My parents had the boat in the water so we had some nice rides and Kendall even stayed up late enough for some fire works.

Cresent Bar

Kendall and Mom had a nice little get-a-way to Cresent Bar while Dad was at basketball camp for 4 days. We camped with Grandma and Grandpa and went on lots of bike rides and swam a few times a day. Kendall loves swimming and she is getting pretty good but still has to have someone with her at all times. She thinks she can swim on her own. We had awesome weather the entire time and it was nice to get out of the June weather at home. We came home July 1st and summer weather had finally arrived here. The rainbow on the last night we were there against the rocks!

Swimming

We try to get out and do something everyday but the weather just hasn't been that great so far this summer. We have managed to make it to homestead a few times to the indoor swimming pool and the park. Dancing..."wiggle your hips" she says. She got it from Dora the Explorer.

Summer in here!!

We got out of school June 21st but I didn't let my summer start until June 28th when my Professional Certification was done. Shane and I both had a 15 credit certification due on June 28th and now we hopefully won't ever have to go back to school! It felt like getting my Master's all over again. Kendall got to spend sometime at her favorite "kid" babysitter's house while we worked on school work. Lexi french braided her hair again but I didn't get a picture again until after she slept on it. Kendall also went to Papa and Grammy's for a few hours so we could work on our school work. She got to ride the 4-wheeler. Summer means spending as much time outside playing with the neighbor dogs too! Now we are just hoping for some nicer weather to enjoy some time at the cabin.

Visit to the Pemberton's in Walla Walla

Memorial Day weekend we headed out Friday after school to visit Care and Dave in Walla Walla. We had a nice relaxing weekend and Shane and Dave also did a triathlon on Sunday. I of course forgot my good camera so I stole some pictures from Carolyn that she took. We missed Colt as he was in Disneyland for his 5th birthday with his Grandpa and Grandma. We look forward to seeing the Pemberton Family again in August!

Potty Training

My Mom decided to spend last Tuesday and Wednesday working with Kendall on potty training. I think Tuesday she was 3 for 5 in the potty but then Wednesday she was 0 for 5. I decided I don't have the time to push it right now so maybe again in July when things slow down. We did also get rid of the binky (FINALLY!). Thanks to my Mom. This is how my Mom kept her entertained on the potty.

A new fence

Shane decided last summer that he wanted to extend our split rail fence down the side of our property that faces the raspberries. He got some help from Dominic which made it go much faster. Dominic put in almost as many hours as Shane did. Kendall thinks she was helping put the fence in. Teresa stopped by with Trey and Tavia and Kendall and Trey had a good time playing. Teresa also helped them come up with a system and it made it go by much faster. Thank goodness she knew what she was doing because Shane may still not have it done. Now we just need to stain it, along with some other projects around the house this summer.
