As of late

Looking at these pictures make me realize how blessed I am. We have a great family and we have the opportunity to do a lot of cool and fun things.  Luckily a lot of the dental students wife's have really cool skills, so they teach them to our kids. Cassie was a gymnast and instructor back in Utah and decided she would teach a gymnastic class. Morgan loved it and insists on doing back flips all day (a back flip to Morgan is anything that involves gymnastics). Lauren teaches swimming lessons and from what I have seen in my day she is the best swimming instructor I have ever met. Morgan is now a little fish in the water. Morgan loves the water so much that when we got to go boating with the O'briens in our ward Morgan tried knee boarding! It was awesome. We were so glad that Lauren and I won the boating outing at the service auction for church.  So far this summer has been great. We spend most of our days outside at the Terraces pool or at Calypso Cove. McKell is still a wonderful baby and still manages to sleep quite well.

Dance moves

when we aren't swimming we are dancing. she has some awesome moves!

I am in love (again)

McKell is a dream. I seriously mean it. I am in love with how  she is.

I am now positive that little babies sleep based on how they want to, and there is nothing a parent can do about it till they are older. McKell sleeps. Morgan didn't sleep. McKell sleeps from 10-11ish till 5-6ish and feeds and then sleeps till 8:30. I am almost getting the same sleep I used to, as long as a get a nap every once and a while, I am doing great. Not only is McKell a good sleeper but she is happy. She only cries when she needs needs things. She loves to smile and coo with us. 

I just keep thinking how blessed I am. I almost cry when I think about it, a happy cry. Having a second child has been alot better than I thought it would be. I love little McKell.

Lately

This week

This week was pretty awesome. The weather was great and Danny was home a lot more than normal (Summer Schedule started). McKell has been pretty good and Morgan is either amazing or not so amazing. Our schedule for most days goes like this, wake up, eat breakfast, if the night was nice to us we go on a walk with Natalie (and sometimes others), eat lunch, do a fun activity like spray park, park, bike rides, etc, eat dinner then play volleyball or tennis.

Also this week was my birthday and Thursday was a perfect day. Morgan and I made waffles (thank you mom for the waffle maker) with strawberries, kiwis and ice cream.  Then we went on a walk with Nikki and Natalie. Then we hung out at the park till dad came home and we got ready and went to the Spray park. We then stopped by the post office and target, and then used our groupon and went to dinner at Papalino's (our favorite NY style pizza place in Louisville). Then we went back to our apartment and played volleyball (thanks to all those that came so my birthday wish of playing came true, and mostly thanks to Cassie W for holding my baby so I could play). Then Danny didn't disappoint by getting me a Dairy Queen Cake.  It was a great day!

 At the Spray Park, Daddy taught the girls how to warm up by laying on the sidewalk.

 On our morning walk (before Parkers awesome b-day party) Morgan was sporting her adorable shirt from Grandma!

McKell started to smile and coo this week, it is so fun to see her smile!
