End of June Update

Our little tree hugger: When the girls stay at Nana's, they love to play dress-up.  This is a dress that Mimi brought back from Acapulco when I was little.  

Syd's new funny face

Gymnastics camp theme was Under the Sea - this is her crab she made (guess we'll put those pajamas in the giveaway pile).  Apparently they also did quite a bit of gymnastics while she was there every day for a week. ;)  She loved it!

Millie and Cayden are off to War Eagle Day Camp for the next two weeks!

She's so grown up.  She comes home each night to tell us stories about her day.  We've missed her!  We only had her home for a week before she started this camp.

Celebrating Beckham's 5th Birthday at the Amazeum!

Summer 2018 looks like this: Video: Fab Four Summer 2018

No more floaties and doing great!!  Such a relief!  I was scared I was going to have to watch her like a hawk this summer, but I'm so proud of her and don't feel nervous about her abilities at all!

Jasper loves to find all the sun spots, just like Beansie.  Is reincarnation real?  Maybe.  Because he also has a real bond with JKK.  He's the only person Jasper wants to hold him.

Aunt Midge came back for a quick visit and brought the girls a treat. Bah!

JKK requested the Kesha/Macklemore concert tickets for us, so we rolled VIP all night.  What a treat!

Midge and I love a good photo opp ;)

This kid knows how to relax - breakfast on the veranda

So it turns out two full weeks of day camp is a long time.  Millie requested a day off, so I let her stay home and go to a few hours of art camp with Syd.  They loved spending the time together!  And truly, the art studio is Syd's happy place.  Arts and Crafts are totally her jam, whereas, Millie prefers to be more active.  They are so different.

precious lil puppy

Only one more day of camp....we're all ready to have our girl back home for the summer!  I can't even imagine overnight camp.  Not ready for that!

Jasper has made up his own game: Matrix moves.

She made it!!  We got to go to the closing ceremony and see her with her cabin.  It was pretty adorable to see the girls and boys razzing each other with chants back and forth.  It was even cuter to hear millie explain them each night at dinner.  "So mom, we would say heyyyy boyyyys, and they would say heyyyy what?!...and then we would say shake your booty butt! Jump, shake your booty...jump jump, shake your booty!"  You gotta hear Mills do it...anyhoo, it's over and it was a good experience for her.  I didn't expect it to be so exhausting though.  By the end of two weeks, she looked like a zombie.  A very brown zombie.  We were supposed to go out to eat after we picked her up, but she started crying, saying she wanted to go home.  Pajamas and movie night and she was better by the next day.  She says she wants to do it again next year though, so I guess that's a good sign!
