4th of July Weekend!

Had a great 4th of July weekend. We did A LOT of yard work but did get a chance to jump in the Watsons pool and have some fun. It was high 80's-low 90's all weekend, thats is really hot for us, hopefully the sun stays for the rest of the summer!

You can actually see some of her teeth in these pictures she has 5 teeth now, but I'm afraid she'll be gettting more very soon! She'll be 17 months old on July 12th!

Here is Lauren swimming with Joe


She loves jumping into the pool, she would do it a million times if we let her.

Swimming with Grandma Patti

@ Lake Tapps watching the Fireworks - she stayed awake for most of them.

At about 10:00 she went over to her stroller and crawled in it and went to sleep. It was really cute and she was so well behaved the whole weekend, shes growing up so fast!

Dancing Machine

So we have a dancer among us. Laurens new favorite thing is to dance, if she hears any kind of song she dances. Sometimes she just does it for the fun of it and usually to get attention. Shes gotten pretty good at it though!

1st haircut time!

So we finally got Laurens haircut. It was more of a practical hair cut than for beauty since you can see how much her hair gets in her eyes. Plus she wont leave a ponytail in and loves to put her food in her hair, so hopefully getting her hair out of her face will be easier for everyone!
We were going to go to the kids salon on sunday but on our way to fred meyer we walked by great clips and just decided to go in and get it done quick.

As you can see Lauren didn't like that idea.

Having fun with daddy in the waiting area.

NOT HAPPY after the haircut, she sat in my lap the whole time and HATED it!

But survived and now doesn't get her hair in her eyes! Yeah!

The good old old Cannery!

Made a visit to the Old Cannery on Monday and Lauren had a blast!

As you can see she LOVES to push the buttons on the trains!

She would have stayed here all day if we had let her!

Memorial Day Weekend

We had some GREAT weather for the memorial day weekend and we had a very busy weekend!

Sunday we had a BBQ at our house and the kids played in the sprinkler, it was laurens first encounter with a sprinkler and she loved it. One time she got upset though because I made her wear a hat and it fell over her eyes and she kept walking in circles in front of the sprinkler and it kept hitting her right in the face, but of course we didn't get that on camera, heres what we did get though.

Monday we went to the zoo and this is the first time she stayed awake through a whole zoo trip!
She loved all the animals especially the big whales ( I think she could see them best).

With Daddy Jake & Cameron looking at the whales and sea lions.

Loving the carousel at the zoo!

At the BBQ she showed off her water bottle skills, still a little messy but shes working on it.

I have some more fun videos from the weekend that I'll post later this week!

Hope everyone had a happy Memorial Day!

these boots were made for walking!

Laurens "new" thing is to take off and put on shoes. If you leave your shoes where she can get them she WILL put them on and try and walk around. Here she is with daddys work boots.

And here is grandpa Jims house almost finished with all the new siding and paint and entrance, just waiting on the doors, etc... Looks SO good!

Sunny Days!

We finally got some really nice weather and ventured outside a few times.

Heres Lauren with Grandpa Jim at the Relay for Life walk.

Here she is taking her first lap with mom & dad
And taking a break on dads shoulders

Her first time wearing shorts and a tanktop in washington this year! YEAH!

And playing with moms sunglasses.

Helping grandpa and daddy fix the chainsaw and cut down some trees.

She would walk over to Joe and pat him on the back every five or ten minutes,

I think its her way of saying "good job daddy".
