Super Stars!!

Summer Buddies

Maison is so excited that Katie and Ellie, Saylor's daughters, are here for the summer.

One of the first things we did was make muffin pizzas. The girls each made their own pizza using english muffins instead of pizza crust. The tiny pepperoni was a huge hit and I'm shocked that any of it made it to the pizzas.

Maison & Lanie

Lanie is finally big enough for Maison to "safely" hold her.

Spring "Big Show"

I know you will all find this hard to believe, but Maison was "too shy" to do her routine this time. Recently, she's become embarrassed by people clapping for her. Even in the car when she sings, she makes everyone agree not to clap before she'll sing us a song. Since that rule never applied to gymnastics before, we didn't expect it to be an issue. After the first routine, everyone clapped and that was it for Maison, she didn't want a turn!

We did get a few pictures but not many...

In and Out, In and Out...

Maison was so excited to go to the beach over Memorial Day weekend. She couldn't wait to see the ocean... until she got there...


At first, she was so excited she couldn't stand still much less keep her feet on the ground...





At first, she was so brave...

Then she quickly realized that the ocean isn't all that warm in May...















With a little encouragement, she gave it another try...


But nope, still not buying...

















A little more encouragement...


This time we even got a little wet...


















When all was said and done, we spent the better part of the day playing in the puddles and collecting seashells.

Rainy Day Swim

We were so lucky to have an indoor pool since it wouldn't stop raining our first day there.
