June Photo Favorites


June sure was busy! 

We finished up our school year on June 2. Savannah's fitness class at school performed a Luau of different exercises that are Hawaiian themed. It was adorable. 

Body Artist Walker strike 1:

Asleep on the mat after a bath!

Then we found out why he had been so tired: wheezy lungs in need of some extra medication. My poor boy. 

CC made PJ Masks Shirts!

Introducing Owlette:
And Catboy:
First day vs last day. Time just flies!
CC came for an overnight visit and they were so so excited!

We played outside and with bubbles before it became the Arkansas July Inferno. 


Oh, and Body Artist Walker strike 2:
Savannah went to a birthday party at a martial arts studio. She was a little nervous but that's not surprising for her. 
Popsicles at school!
Water play at school!
We ran to the mall to get Daddy's Father's Day gift. Never again without a stroller or leash or something. OMGoodness they were all over the place. 
Went out for a fancy dinner with Ann and Skip! Happy anniversary to them!
Luckily the kids begged Birc to open his Father's Day gifts on Saturday night because I woke up Sunday morning with a migraine and was sick all day long. 
We did have a yummy and fun meal at Anna's for Father's Day for Grandad!
We found Dory. 
We also found tractors in parking lots that we needed to sit in. Because of course. 
The kids did swim lessons. They were much better than last year. We went to the athletic club this year and are going two more weeks this summer for semi-private lessons. It is going okay!
Of course sno cones. 
Got up and went to the farmers market downtown with Ann and skip. Then walked around downtown and to the AR nature center and then to swim. The kids had a full day!

It wore this boy out. 
Even the next day in church he couldn't stay awake!
While Walker gets his hair cut Savannah tries on glasses and loves to take pics of herself! So cute. 
More water play at school. 
Walker's last night in a diaper! More on that later...

Beach Trip 2016

Our little family took our first family vacation alone this past month! It was really very fun and relaxing! The sand was still cool since it was early in the year, and we had perfect weather! We only spent 4 days but that was a great amount for our family. Both kids had heat rashes by the 4th day so it was good we weren't staying longer!

We got there just in time to see sunset on the beach before dinner. 

We loved our resort and definitely plan to go back!

First full day on the beach, here we come! Everyone was so excited!
We caught 3 starfish--so cool! They were alive and we let them go at the end of our day. 
Our resort had 3 restaurants and a few shops, along with an ice cream shop, playground, and 5 pools. We loved it!

Crab Claws--so so good:
Day 2:

Spent a few hours at the local zoo. It was a very strange zoo to say the least. 

It smelled. See Walker below if you don't believe me!
Back to the resort. 


Evening swim in the hot tubs!! Savannah became obsessed with the hot tubs!

The beach wore them out every day. 
Day 3:
Savannah fed the birds and they surrounded us!
We skipped naps each day but the last day Walker missed dinner because he was just too tired. 
He woke up in time to go to the go-cart carnival place!!
Last morning. Pancakes in bed!
Bye bye beach!
On our way home we stopped at my aunt Jana's house to visit and she fed us a very yummy lunch and let us run around her house and Savannah pick her flowers. It was such a special visit! Savannah and Walker both called Jana "CC" the whole time because they look so much like each other!  It was so sweet. 
Jana worked very hard on a bouquet of all the flowers Savannah picked so she could bring it home! She loved it!

And that's a wrap--wonderful and memorable trip that we plan to make again as soon as we can!
