Perfect Day to Head to the Beach

The weather is absolutely perfect today. Not too hot but definitely warm enough to hang out in your bathing suit on the beach. The girls and I spent the afternoon there and may go back tomorrow if they can continue being nice to me.

New Short and Sassy Haircut for Tatey

More 4th of July

Lunch with Grandma at Firestone's. Outfits assembled by the children.

Tatey's sunglasses were a gift from Grandma...for her Build a Bear Kitty. They don't fit the cat but they look cute on Matea!

4th of July

We had a quiet 4th of July at home this year. We've been out of town the last two weekends and Steve will be occupied most of this weekend so we both wanted to do something low-key. Lucky for us, we're in charge so we get to make the decisions:)

Grandma came over and bought fire works for the girls. This was the first year we were able to do our own fireworks because they weren't allowed in our old community. The girls did a few sparklers and snakes and then we sat in the garage while Papa entertained us. 4th of July at Mesa Dunes was non existent. 4th of July in town is CRAZY. I couldn't fall asleep until midnight and I still heard fireworks going off then! Living around people under age 60 who stay up later than 8pm can be so exciting.

Yard Work

In pajamas.

According to Matea...

"I had the bestest dream last night with just a little bit of horrible. Like two drops of horrible."

"Horrible" is their new word. They both work it into any sentence they can. Bella likes to say, "We're so horrible, we're adorable!". That's just great.
