July 2011

Maycee wanted to try playing on a softball team, so she did that for 6 weeks and LOVED it.  She learned quickly and had a fun time at every game!  Even the one when the wind was blowing so hard that everyone was sitting/laying on the ground so we didn't get picked up and blown away.  



We had a really fun time camping at Birch Creek on the Friday and Saturday before July 4th.  There was still snow on top of the mountains with a lot of water running in the creeks and my favorite - wildflowers everywhere.  The kids love hiking and exploring at the City of Rocks and riding the 4-wheelers.


Deryk turned 4!!  I can't believe how big he is getting (and how smart).  He had a fun birthday and wanted a mud cake with bugs and worms.  What a cute little guy who is so full of adventure and life!

Deryk got a foam rocket launcher that they were all playing with outside at his birthday party.  That is why they are looking in the sky.


Deryk, Maycee, and Shaylee took swimming lessons again and they all loved it.  Shaylee did a survival float in her clothes and had to take them off in the pool and tread for several minutes.  Deryk wasn't fond of water in his ears, but ended up doing great and was blowing bubbles and putting his head under by the last few days.  He also kept getting kicked out of the pool for splashing and randomly hitting the other kids.  The teacher, Cindy, just loved Deryk and couldn't get over his gorgeous eyes and eyelashes, so he didn't stay in trouble for long.  Little stinker!!
