Summer Finally Arrives...

Finally, Mom is out of school and I get to stay home with her everyday.

We have gotten to do so many new things this summer. Mom says I am much more fun to take to story time, gymnastics, swimming, the library, the park, and playdates than I was last year. I think I have more fun too!

We were lucky to have a pretty cool June. The heat really didn't hit us until the end. Now we are in full 100 degree swing around here! That means LOTS of swimming. My first trips to the pool were a bit sketchy, but I've got the hang of it. I'm blowing bubbles, jumping off the edge, etc. It's GREAT!!!

Right after mommy got out ofschool, we did the Relay for Life. I stayed with Nona while Mom and Dad stayed out there all day. Dad even stayed with Jeremy all night. Our team, Guns & Hoses, raised over $7,000.

After all the hard work we put in at the Relay, Mom and Dad rewarded us with a trip down to another Giants game. We sat in the Club Level for the first time. It was awesome! BunBun and I made it to the end of the game. And, they even won! GO GIANTS!!!!

We celebrated an early Father's Day with Papa with a walk on the Sundial Bridge and a trip to the fair. I got to sit in a CHP car like the one Daddy used to work in, and had a yummy corndog. No rides for me yet, maybe next year.

On Father's day, we took our first trip to the lake. We enjoyed lunch with Grammy and Grandpa, Brandon,Whitnee, and Cadence. It was still too cold to get in, maybe next time.

I've really started accepting my role in this world. I LOVE my beads and bracelets. Mom had to buy me my own so I would stop emptying her jewelry box everyday. Oh, and Dad really loves that when I'm wearing a dress, I love to life it up and show you my belly button. I guess we'll have to work on that!

At the end of the month we borrowed Skip & Dora's tent trailer and joined the Stoke family on Oregon for a wonderful camping trip at Joseph Stewart State Park. It was so much fun. I see lots of camping in our future. Especially since Mom and Dad rushed on home to buy a tent trailer of our own.

July should be a very fun month ahead. We have lots of trips planned, so I will have a lot of updates the next time you hear from me. Enjoy the heat, I think it's finally here to stay!
