the 4th

Here are some pictures from the 4th of July. We had fun in Nashville at the reunion and the girls had fun playing with all the cousins. Hailey loved going to the lake and tubing on the boat. After riding one time with her daddy she decided she was big enough to do it by herself. The boat went really slow and her dad was on the tube beside her the whole time and she had a blast. She looked so grown up.

Mackenzie is now 18 months old and still a little peanut. She weighs 20 lbs 6 oz and is 30 inches long. She finally took a few steps on her own but isn't really walking yet.

Brian is back from Germany and had an amazing time. I will post some pictures he took once we get them all on the computer. He really enjoyed sharing Gods love and work with the kids and was sad to leave them. He can't wait to have the opportunity to do it again. Hailey has had swimmers ear and been in a lot of pain so we haven't been to the pool in a while. That is about all the updates I have for now. Enjoy the pictures!

We have been busy

We have been going and going so far this summer. We spend most mornings at the pool and spending time with friends on play dates. Hailey had Vacation Bible School a few weeks ago and absolutely loved it and keeps asking when she can go again. Brian volunteered at VBS so that gave me and Mackenzie some nice one on one time together.

Hailey has started swim lessons for the summer. She loves going underwater and is working really hard so she can swim all by herself. Mackenzie is getting so big and while she still isn't walking she is wanting to do everything else like a big girl. I have noticed that when she pulls up on things she gets up on her tip toes just like her big sister, so it will be interesting to see if she will walk on them as well.

It has been nice not having any set schedule this summer and just being with the girls and hanging out with friends but I am sure by the middle of August I will be ready for preschool to start.
