What a big sister!

Cami was cracking up she could barely eat.

Makenna loves to watch Cami have her dinner. Today she decided to feed her.

Adamsville Homecoming Entertainment

Makenna is second from the left.

Getting into the swing of things.

We were a little rusty we hadn't performed our routine since May.

Having a ball!

Makenna's dance studio performed at the Adamsville Homecoming on Thursday. Her dance group was one of the selected ones to participate. I snapped a few pictures - sorry the fence was in the way.

Lake Isabella

We had an enjoyable day at the lake with the McLendon's yesterday. We started with a picnic lunch - even Makenna joined in for the yummy food. As soon as lunch was over - Makenna was ready to head for the sand and sun. We settled in at the VERY crowded beach and Makenna was having a great time digging in the sand and pouring it on Cassie's blanket! It didn't take long for Cami to venture to the edge of the blanket and find the sand too. She loved eatting it by the handfuls! We couldn't keep it out of her mouth. Soon Makenna was ready to swim. She and Daddy hit the water - it took Cami (and Mommy) a little longer to get used to the chilly temperature. Makenna wanted to know if there were big fish swimming in that water with her. I don't think she liked that idea too well, but had fun anyway. She thought Matthew and Jack wrestling around in the water were pretty funny. Cami didn't last too long in the water - she was ready for her lunch. The day ended too soon - but we had a great time while it lasted. Cami's first experience with sand went well for the most part. Makenna wants to know when we can head to the ocean for a vacation!

Sorry no pictures of this trip to the lake. Cassie and I both forgot our cameras!

Morning TV

Makenna loves to climb into our bed in the morning and grab her Daddy's binoculars to watch a little morning TV. This is her everyday routine. She just cracks us up - reading the guide through the binoculars and settling back to watch her favorite cartoons.

A Night at the Susil's

Yummy Popsicle!

Makenna is not too sure about feeding this donkey.

Jack either.

Matthew got the hang of it.

Makenna is not going to take her eyes off that donkey!

Playing some b-ball.

Catch Jack!

Cami's first guitar lesson from Matt.

He promises to have her playing by age 3!

Matt and Jack came over this evening. We had lots of fun. We played in the stream, played b-ball, ate Popsicles, had a music lesson and evening fed the donkeys! Matt and Jack are great with both of the girls! Makenna just loves to have her big cousins over. Earlier today - Cassie watched the girls while I worked and she took them all swimming at a friends house. Makenna and Cami had a BIG day!

Butterflies!

Cami's room is decorated with butterflies. Every time she gets up from a nap or in the morning she looks at those butterflies. She stares and stares with a serious expression until we tell her they are her butterflies and sign butterfly to her - then she gets a huge grin on her face.

Happy 4th of July!

Nana Buck and Tony - you can see Baba Buck in the back ground taking pictures!

Ayla and Makenna - over the weight limit I think!

Addison is tired - time to go home!

Cami is so excited to see Makenna after a night away! I am not sure Makenna feels the same way though.

We had a busy Fourth of July. We went to my Aunt Judy's house in the afternoon to celebrate. We had a nice time playing corn hole and enjoying Cami and Marayah. Grandma, Grandpa, Tony and his whole family, Cassie and Jim and the boys all came. Makenna was with her grandparents so we met up with her later in the evening at Aunt Christa's house. We had a nice cookout despite the rain. All the grandchildren had fun playing together. Makenna and Ayla had a great time riding the kiddie four wheeler. They enjoyed sparklers too! Ezra was really interested in Cami, finally someone smaller than him. Gracie and Addison loved exploring the yard and all the dogs.
