School is out!

William and Rebecca are done with another year of school!

Kindergarten grad with his teacher Mrs. Shaffer

Rebecca is a second grade graduate. 

She didn't have a graduation ceremony like William did, so I didn't get any pictures of her from her last week of school. But here she is enjoying summer break with her mini twin.

I'm excited for a break from the every day routine and to spend more time with my big kids!

Wet 'n' Wild is open again...

And it is five minutes from our house! We got season passes since the price of a season pass was about the same as the price of two general admission tickets. Since we have season passes, we've been there about 3 or 4 times a week since it opened two weeks ago. It's been wonderful!!


The names of the rides have changed, but they basically have a Der Stuka, Lazy River, a wave pool, Royal Flush, and a few other cool slides. There is a huge kids' area where we spend most of our time. And life jackets are all over the place, so I don't have to worry about my two non-swimming boys.

Next year a Cowabunga Bay is supposed to open in Henderson, and I'm hoping that that new water park will make the one by us less crowded.

We're having a great summer so far thanks to Wet 'n' Wild!

Six Months Old Tomorrow


This happy girl will be six months old tomorrow. I can't believe she is already halfway through her first year!

Some things about six-month-old Lia:

  • She's been laughing a little more lately. She especially laughs at whatever her siblings are doing around her.
  • She has zero interest in rolling over, unless it's from her belly to her back. She does not enjoy tummy time.
  • She's a champ at Wet 'n' Wild. I have an old Baby Bjorn that I don't mind getting wet, and she sits in it while I follow the bigger kids in the wave pool and the lazy river.
  • She still has light blue eyes, so she probably won't end up with brown eyes like her sister. Most people who look at her comment on her blue eyes.
  • She sleeps through the night in her sister's room every night. Rebecca likes to bring her to me in the morning, which is nice, except for when she brings her to me while she's still sleeping. We've since had a talk about letting the baby sleep.

We love having this happy baby around!
