Monday, June 23rd

I hope everyone had a wonderful weekend. I really wish that the weeks would go by slower. I really enjoyed being with the girls. I took off Friday to take Izabelle to get her shots, do some yard sales, and did a little bit (a lot) of shopping with my girls. I really enjoy spending time with Gracie and Izabelle. Gracie desperetaly needed PJs...she has been wearing PJs that were 3T, oops! So, Friday was all about getting some items for the girls. I bought some ribbons to make hair bows, so hopefully I can find my creative side and make some cute ones...I will definetly need to seek advice from my mom or my friend Jamie.
Okay, so Saturday Matt was working, so we met with mom in town to get some hanging plants. I was in need for some ferns, so I finally found some and they were huge, I was thinking that they would be expensive but to my surprise they were reasonable priced and I picked a few extra flowers. Then the rest of the day we just enjoyed the comfort of our home.
Gracie and Izabelle enjoyed each other's company with a little tea party. I think I enjoyed them getting along and laughing. Gracie was a perfect hosts and Izabelle loved the food.

Sunday, the girls and I went to church (my first time going without Matt), again Matt was working. After church we came home, ate and went to meet Kaycee, Greta, and Brynnlee at the pool. We had a good time. I haven't been swimming, well for a long time. Gracie and Izabelle are two little water bugs. Gracie has been going with Kaycee since last summer and Kaycee showed her how to get comforable with the water. So, now Gracie loves jumping off the side, and going under water. She was doing this with her floaties, but now she can do it all by herself, but only in the shallow end. She even can swim under water (captured by video), which I was so excited to see. I am very proud of her. Izabelle loves splashing and doesn't mind getting some water in the face when Gracie decides to jump in right beside us. I think Izabelle is holding back, until she is big enough to get her back. Miss Brynnlee enjoyed sitting by her mom and enjoyed the water touching her toes. She is so cute.

After swimming, Aunt Kaycee took the girls to jump on the trampoline, which I think we all enjoyed. The little ones didn't really know what to think about that.

So, after all the afternoon excitement we went home and relaxed before we went to Small Groups for our church.
