Sprinkler

It has really gotten hot around here recently.  The other day the girls were filling their watering buckets up with water and I decided to squirt them with the water hose.  They loved it!  So we then got out the sprinkler and changed into bathing suits and let them run and play in it for a while.  Makenzie stood under the water until she started shivering and I made her get out!  They had so much fun.
Here are some pictures....

Pool days

We've had some pretty warm days recently.  The girls have gotten a few turns at playing in their pool at my mom's.  Here are some of the pictures...

The Zoo

Last week my mom and I took the girls to the zoo.  It was a cool day, which was much better than the last time that we went and both girls were really into seeing most of the animals.  One of the gorillas was also putting on a show by banging on the glass and running back and forth.  Makenzie was petrified of it but Rylee ran back and forth loving it!  Here are some pictures of it...

Swing set

For their birthday's we wanted to get the girls a swing set this year.  The problem was there weren't any good deals and the swing sets weren't really out yet around their birthday time.  So we waited a few weeks and bought one a little bit later.  Dave, my Dad and our neighbor Todd and at the end our friend Seth took most of the day to put the swing set together.  Rylee had spent the night with Aunt Jessie and Uncle Daniel that night so we just had Makenzie for most of the morning while putting it together.  Todd and his wife, Maria have a little boy Joshua that Makenzie played with for most of the morning to entertain themselves while their dads worked hard.  Here are some pictures....

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Then that evening we had a cookout with Seth and Krista and their boys Noah and Luke and our neighbors Todd and Maria and their son Joshua.  Here are the kids around the firepit after dinner and then walking on some of the trials behind our house.

 

Makenzie singing

I've been trying to get some videos of Makenzie singing around the house.  Here are a few of her singing and of her saying the blessing and alphabet. 

Choir Videos

My computer finally is letting me post some videos!  Here are some old ones from Rylee's choir night.  I'll try to post a few of Makenzie singing later.

Happy Easter

Happy Easter!  Sorry I'm several weeks behind on these but I still wanted to post them for you to see.  We had a great Easter.  The Easter Bunny came to the house for the girls, then we went to church and to my Mom and Dad's for lunch and had an Easter egg hunt for the girls.  They had a blast.  We missed Jessie and Daniel this year though since Jessie had to work.  Here are a few pictures...
