Summer is finally here

So as soon as it decided to stop raining, my kids wanted to go to the water. We took them up above our house to Deep Creek, because Toph wanted to do some fishing, but the kids were way more interested in throwing rocks than fishing. It didn't tak Kaydence but 10 seconds and she was in the water as far as her shorts would allow her. Madison on the other hand was perfectly content to just stay dry and observe everything that was going on. She did throw a rock or 2 after a little while of watching Kaydence.

After our trip to Deep Creek, we learned that people have been having a lot of leeches on the fish that they are catching so we decided that this was not a good place for the kids to play in the water so we took them to Twin Lakes the next time. We enjoy living so close to Twin Lakes and being able to go camping and swimming there and so do the kids. Once again it didn't take Kaydence long at all before she was in the water and wet. Though on this trip she helped her dad actually catch a fish!

Kaydence is 2!!!

So Kaydence finally turned 2 on the 7th of June. Though she is going on 13, she still had a really nice party. We had a tinkerbell themed party which became rather appropriate considering that she took on the attitude! All of her cousin's were able to make it and it appeared that all of the kids had a really fun time. The day started out rainy and cloudy but cleared up just long enough for Kaydence's party to be outside, which was wonderful for me.

Maggie gave her a jump-o-lene which was a big hit with all of the kids and her Maggie-B gave her lots of toys for her sandbox that Toph and I got her. The kid is always digging up Maggie's flowers and picking rocks out of the dirt. She has really enjoyed the sandbox and the "jump, jump."
