Frozen Night at Barnes & Noble

 Kaylie watched very closely as Ashlyn got her face painted.

 Then she jumped in the chair for her turn!

 Of course Kaylie just ate the frosting!

Rodeo

 We took the girls to their first rodeo- I think my second!

They had a fun time!

 Rylee did some game before where they had to be the first to get some flags or something.  

She always wants to win so bad and gets so upset when she doesn't- she's too competitive!

But she did get a free ice cream at chick-fil-a- so that's winning to me!

Matt could see a little fire burning in the foothills when we first got there, but it was kind of hard to see.  But it was really burning at night and we could see it really good.  Later we found out it burned 1000 acres I think- crazy!

Ashlyn Lost Tooth #2

This girl hates bedtime. 

She is a night owl. 

It drives me crazy because I am not a night owl.

She would rather have her dad pull her tooth at 11:00 at night than go to sleep!

And she was all smiles afterward.  

The only way we could finally get her to bed was to tell her 

the tooth fairy wasn't coming if she didn't!

Crazy kid!

Swimming Lessons

 The girls finally got to take swimming lessons starting July 21.  

This is the one thing they look so forward to every summer!  

Kaylie was pretty good about not trying to swim until the second to last day.  

Then she wore her swimsuit and I had to fight with her not to get in the pool.  

She will get to go next year! 

They ended their first session last Friday, 

but they are doing another two week session starting Monday!

 First day-

Bradley, Ashlyn, Mercedes, Rylee, Kaylie

 Ally (Ashlyn's BFF from the daycare), Ashlyn, Mercedes- all in the same class!

 Oma and the redheads!

 Ashlyn's class- all but one are cousins!

Gabe, Mercedes, Ally, Jerika, and Ashlyn

 Rylee's in the blue.

 I couldn't resist throwing this one in- 

Kaylie loved the playground that's close by!

 Last day- all the younger classes playing a game.

Ashlyn's in there somewhere- in a blue bikini.

 All the older classes playing a game.

Rylee's in there somewhere next to Bradley.

 And the best part- diving board!!!

Rylee didn't want any help!

 Ashlyn didn't want to wear a life jacket!

 Good job, girls!

And the little girls had to have a turn in the pool!
