Trip to the Lake

 We were able to go to the lake this summer with a bunch of friends and enjoy the warm sun, cold water, and good food. 

 Jaylee is walking around in her shirt and diaper because her dear mother forgot her swimsuit.  Oops :)

Green Yard

That's right! We have grass!

Jaylee Bug

I was going through my phone and found some pictures of the girl and here they are...

Mason's in there too. It's hard to separate these two kids.

Mason

Look how relaxed Mason is while riding in the car. I wish I could get that relaxed...feet crossed and everything.

The Climber

Jaylee is into climbing everything! I went down to do a load of laundry, came upstairs, and saw her having some grapes and a cup of water. Ahhh!


I guess we have to get rid of all our chairs.

You Have to Have 2!

I've decided that you need to have two kids so that you can have moments like this.

August's Arizona Trip

Just a tip...It's really hot in Phoenix Arizona in August.

Here is my Aunt Marlene pointing out that it is really hot.

 Meeting up with our Arizona family members for some lunch.

 Jaylee, Mason, and Mason (my cousin's boy)

 Jaylee sucking on her blanket..again.

 Mason and me taking pictures of each other.

 Mason and Great Grandpa Matthews

 

 Grandma Schroeder (Lacey's mom) and Great Grandma Matthews (mom's mom)

 Mason took this picture of Jaylee and Great Grandpa.  I know it's blurry but at least Mason has great picture-taking timing.  So cute!

 Grandparents and their daughters.

 Jaylee liked both Great Grandma and Great Grandpa.  It takes a little while for Mason to warm up to them but then he won't leave them alone.

 Whenever we went somewhere with Grandpa he say next to Jaylee and this was the usual sight.  He always was holding her hand or tickling her arm.  Which at this age, Jaylee did not like being touched, but when Grandpa tickled her, she sat completely still and stared at him.

 Mason loved his blue ice cream cone.

 And Jaylee loved how Grandpa was sneaking her bites of his ice cream.

There is a splash park near my grandparents' house so we went there to play.  Here are Jaylee and Marlene splashing in a little puddle.

 Mason found a squirt gun and never left it.

When we returned home from sunny Arizona, Reese had a couple surprises for us.

If you look carefully at the sign, it says"Do not enter. Lacey's Place. By permission only."  Reese had framed out a room in the basement for all my craft craziness that I do.  I think he was tired of it overrunning the kitchen table.

He had Mason close his eyes for his surprise (Mason has us close our eyes now anytime he wants to show us something including homework that he has to do). 

Reese went to D.I. and found Mason a bike and training wheels.  Mason loves his bike and loves to ride it down our driveway and around our circle.  (I can't emphasize how much I LOVE that we live in a circle!)

 Jaylee's present was a kiss from daddy.

 Here's my framed room.  It's so nice to not have to clean up after my crafts every time I get them out.
