Week 25

Summer weather finally arrived and Wednesday you little water babies spent 5 1/2 hours in the pool! And the Thursday our red bodies knew it. Ouch that first crispy sunburn of the season hurts. No more expired sunblock for us!
Gramma Deb keeps sending us updated pictures of Kks cabbage that Grampa Lou has been taking care of for her. Its growing fast...much like the both of you.
Mommy had an appointment to get a new brace one of the days this week. You both were sooo good that I treated you to icecream! It was a nice refreshing surprise!
We spent a good portion of Thursday in our pjs and that was really relaxing and laid back. We were able to check off another one of our Summer bucket list items.
All week the weather people have said rain possible and while it looks like it could rain...it has not. Daddy said we should just swim if you want to and if the weather decides the plants need a drink we will find other ways to occupy us.

Kailee's cabbage after 5 weeks planted in Grandpa Lou's garden!

I dressed the Barbie on the far left. Kailee said "mom why do you dress the barbies like you do me and Gg?" To which I proudly reply, "because it is age appropriate thats why." No response.

Our "Great Grandma Anna Marie" Rose bush came back this year! We thought it was dead... but some how; as if out of no where it appeared and is thriving well! The blooms are beautiful!

Under water hand stands!

Flower we won at Britty's Bridal Shower!

You put on a play for me. Entitled, "Super Gracie Saves the Day!" It was amazing because Gg saved Kk from someone who stole her purse! I loved it!!

Just being Gg.

The bunnies were scared of the birds that was so cute to watch!

The Wings Over Gaylord Air Show!

We went to the Wings Over Gaylord Airshow on Saturday before Father's Day for daddy's Father's Day gift. It was so much fun! We left at 9 a.m. and stayed until 4 p.m.! We were able to see old and new military vehicles, a bus & portapotty with jet engines (the bus went 309 miles per hour!) The portapotty went 60 mph! We looked at all the airplanes and met some military people that daddy conversed with for a long while! They even tried to talk him into re-enlisting into the National Guard. He decided though he's a feeling too old for that. (Which deep down calms my nerves!) We seen Grandpa Bert with his military vehicle. We also seen daddy's friend Adam from the fire department working with the ambulance too. You got go through the ambulance and trailer! You also sat in the back of a State Trooper Police car -- that better be the only time you ever do that! We went through the big blue traveling bomb squad command center too. Then at 1 p.m. the show began! We watched airplanes do some amazing turns, drops, dips, twirls, and twists! We ooo'd and ahh'd over it all! It was quite amazing to see how incredible that truly was! We also paid respect to the flag that was held by a person who skydived OUT of an airplane! It was absolutely amazing!!
