July 10, 2011 - Fun With Cousins, Abbott's, First Hair Cut, Pointing

What a busy week we have had! It was so nice having the week off and spending time with family. Bryanna really enjoys seeing everyone. It's the most time she has spent with her cousins so far and it's so fun to watch them interact. I can't believe how nice the weather has been and it has allowed us to spend lots of lazy days outside by the pool. We got the chance to do many things that we don't normally get to do including watch Ayla's soccer game, have a sleepover at Dave & Shannon's, see all the grandparents, go camping, play golf, go boating, go on some nice walks with family, and eat 2 bbq chicken dinners!


We headed to Rochester on Monday night and slept over at Dave and Shannon's. The kids thought it was the type of sleepover where we would all sleep in sleeping bags on the living room floor and Logan called sleeping next to Uncle Scott! LOL. We ended up sleeping in Ayla's bed with Paige and Bryanna while Ayla got to sleep in Logan's room. Scott went fishing with Dave and Logan early in the morning while the girls went grocery shopping...how typical! We did the pool thing and then met Eric and Melissa at Cheeburger Cheeburger at Charlottle Beach...which has delicious burgers by the way! Eric ate the ONE pounder and that accomplishment got his picture on the wall. If you are ever at Cheeburger Cheeburger, look for proud Eric holding his stuffed toy cheeseburger along with his proud niece and nephew with huge grins on their faces. Then we took a nice walk down the pier, rode the carousel, and finished off the day with some chocolate custard with cookie dough topping from Abbott's (Scott had chocolate almond with cookie dough topping). It was Bryanna's and my first Abbott's experience and we both loved it! What a long day and Bryanna did great!

we had some fun with the camera while Bryanna was napping

Paige kept flying off the slide and going back for more


We had a nice dinner Wednesday night at Grandma and Grandpa Ricks. Then, we finally decided to give Bryanna a hair cut. It wast too difficult to keep it out of her face and she wouldn't keep any clips in. We were thinking to have more of an angle cut but it ended up straight across...it's still cute though!


Thanks for the haircut grandma!

Thursday evening we headed over to Grandpa and Grandma Kelly's house for a nice dinner and to spend some time with them, it was nice seeing you guys!

We headed back to Red Creek Friday evening. Saturday was a fun day in Red Creek. We got lucky and it was the weekend where everyone in downtown has a yard sale. We decided to walk over and check it out. I was hoping I could find some photography props and at the least some good people watching! We had a good time walking around, stopped at Aunt Frieda's, then walked back home. We walked a good 5 miles, which is pretty much all of Red Creek!!! Bryanna enjoyed somemore pool time and swinging on Grandma and Grandpa's swing set. Oh yeah, Scott got to experience liver for the first time....gross!!!

Bryanna started pointing today. She started doing it to Grandma and Grandpa's ball and saying BALL!
