I grew up in California and only went to Hollywood less than a handful of times. My sister hadn't ever been so we decided to take the trip down to Hollywood. We went and saw the stars, the Hollywood sign, the wax museum and drove by the LA temple. The girls did very well on the long day and we had a lot of fun together.

I am lucky enough to go visit my family for about 3-4 weeks every summer. It is so great to go and spend time with them and let the girls get to know their other set of grandparents. We had a lot of fun this year. We actually spent very little time at my parents home. We spent a week at a beach house and a week in Utah. The girls had a blast and can't wait until our next visit to visit Papa Barry and Grammy Catherine.

For July 4th we went up to Tyler's family lake house. We went with Tyler's parents, his sisters: Danielle and Kimber, his brother: Dallin, his niece Addison and his Uncle Richard, Aunt Linda and cousins Nicole and Richard. It was a lot of fun. We went on the water and Tyler wake boarded. Tyler and Dallin did a firework show for us. They lit some bushes on fire and had some crazy fireworks. It was fun! The girls had a blast hanging out with the 'big' girls.

Busy

So for July 4th weekend we went up to the lake house and hung out with family. We had a great time. Now we are on vacay with my family. I will haven't had time to post info so look for a HUGE post later. I will get pictures uploaded and posted when I have time!

Bryn

So a couple of weeks ago my life changed drastically!! Brynlee learned how to open doors and climb out of her crib. Tyler was out of town and we were over at Jenn's house late so we decided to spend the night. Bryn was put in the pack-n-play. The next morning Bryn was walking around the house. Come to find out Makenna had helped her climb out of the pack-n-play. So later that day I put Bryn down for a nap at Jenn's as well. 5 minutes later, Bryn was in the hall. She had climbed out of the pack-n-play and opened the door. I spanked her bum and put her back in bed. When we got home that night I was hoping that she could not climb out of her crib because it was bigger. She didn't do it that night, but a few mornings later she did! I was laying in bed and heard a thud. I assumed it was Makenna playing in her room. I then hear a door opening (Makenna doesn't open her door in the morning, she knows she isn't allowed to!). Then my door opens! It was Bryn. My life is forever changed. She hasn't done it for a few days until this morning. I am out cold and start hear Makenna screaming about 7am. I jolt out of bed and Kenna is yelling, "Mom! Brynlee is out of bed and trying to open my door! She isn't allowed out of bed so I won't let her in my room!" Bryn received another spanking and got put back in bed. The horrible part is that I ask her if she should climb out of bed and she looks and me, laughs and says yes. I am going today to look for child locks on the doors so she can't get out and for a crib tent so she can't get out of bed. It is super unsafe for Bryn to be roaming the house while I am asleep. There is so much she could get into and get hurt with. I totally worry about her falling down the stairs as well. We trained Makenna to stay in her room until I got her. Maybe Bryn will catch on to that. Also...Kenna never climbed out of her crib! Ever!! Bryn is going to keep me on my toes! The cherry on top of my morning is that Makenna had to tell me, "Bryn didn't climb out of bed when daddy was here. She loves daddy more than you!" Thanks Makenna....

Tyler and the girls on the tube. I believe this was Bryn's first time on the tube! She did really well!

Bryn loved jumping off the back of the boat into the water!

This summer has been awesome being able to go to the lake so often. My in-laws have a very nice home up there and have been very generous with letting us use it! June 10-12, we made a last minute decision to drive up to the lake. We went with Tyler's parents and my BF, Jenn. Tyler, Bryn and Ty's parents drove up around 5pm on Friday. Makenna went to a birthday party so Jenn and I stayed back and picked her up around 9:30pm and drove up. The girls rode the tube with Tyler and the water was pretty warm to swim in. We drove up to Barnacle Bills and ate lunch. We went out on the boat later in the afternoon, but there was a storm moving and the water was super choppy. We didn't stay out too long. As usual, we had a big, yummy dinner Saturday night. We hung out and then left Sunday afternoon. I really love the lake!
