4th of July

We hit the neighborhood bike parade in the AM. Rylie wanted to be a "lion princess"...which was enhanced by her swollen eye after a spider bite in the night. Lovely! Granne came to enjoy the fun, too!

We ended the day with our cousins, at the stadium for an incredible 4,600 firework show! Jaden slept through the entire show...and Rylie said her favorite ones were the purple ones. Love it.

WWF Sisters

Oh the fun of sisters playing together!!!!

Fishing

In preparation for Father's Day, I took the girls to the local Dollar Store and let them pick out WHATEVER they each wanted to get daddy...ANYTHING in the whole store. Rylie could not believe it! After a valiant effort and many hard decisions, they came out with 2 plastic fishing poles...so that they could go fishing with daddy. Here are some pics of them fishing in our very own Tug-Boat Pond...

The day and the life...

More shots of daily life...Father's Day, swim lessons, smelling the flowers in the neighborhood, a hot air balloon that landed in the hood, the splash park, the pool, and our local ice-cream parlor!











The Sliding Sisters - Rylie is becoming a big helper, just in time! Here she is helping Jaden on the slide...over and over and over again!

Sisters in the sun...

We cannot be out in the sun enough it seems! The majority of our day today was outside...scooping rocks into the pool, sidewalk chalk creations, popping bubbles, climbing trees, swinging, chasing rabbits, running through sprinklers, squirt guns...

Mexico fun!

We recently returned from eight wonderful days in beautiful Nuevo Vallarta Mexico. It was the ideal vacation for us...a resort on the ocean with an AWESOME pool to play and splash around in from morning to night...literally. 15 Fletemeyers...10 adults and 5 fun cousins. Oh the joy...
