...the land that I love...

Okay, it may get old hearing this, but I LOVE the Summer... no schedules, hot weather- which equals the beach and pool. Anywho- as we are getting ready for the Fourth of July, I was thinking back to one of my most favorite ones. It was when we were living in Virginia for the summer. Mattix was 2 and a half months old, Keia had just turned two- Me and my sister Amy took the train to Washington DC and spent the holiday there. We checked in a hotel and watched the fireworks from our country's capital. It was so much fun and I Loved going around seeing the different sites. I am very proud to be an American and feel very blessed to be a free woman who is able to fulfill any dream that I can imagine in this country.

Happy Fourth everybody!! Big shout out to the Troops who have left their families to defend our freedom- we love you!
(Now picture fireworks going off since I just finished my big speech=)

Kindergarten Rocks

It is official- Keia has graduated Kindergarten. They had a really cute ceremony and sang the cutest song, "Kindergarten Rocks". I was really happy with her school and teacher- they were awesome! I am looking forward to my favorite time of year: SUMMER! Going to the beach, the pool, sleepovers at Gran's, and visits to Vegas.

Anywho- We are proud of you Keia!

***Little story- so while all the families were waiting for the kids to come out and go on the stage, and little boy was walking right by the food table and threw up everywhere- it was some chunks mixed with a ton of liquid. We were waiting for the janitor to clean it up, but a girl from outside was running in, Matt actually tried telling her to stop- but it was too late- she slipped and fell hard right in the throw up... disgusting!!!! Kind of funny, but not appropriate to laugh =)

I love Kalli's fake smile here... one proud Daddy!

Teething Camp

I was wondering if anyone worked at a teething camp? It is a place where you take your cranky child, where they are held as much as they want, the workers are patient and find it "adorable" when the babies throw themselves on the floor for a tantrum. They have immense patience for the baby who doesn't want to be held or put down, it is a fun game for the workers! The amazing workers get up as many times as possible through the night to comfort and soothe the screaming baby... anywho- if any of you know of a good teething camp, let me know. Kalli will be sent ASAP- now finally getting her other top front tooth, she will fit right in!
