It's officially summer!

Summer officially began for me last Thursday. Before 8:30, Payton had been stung by a wasp and I was in a panic. We recovered relatively quickly and spent the rest of the day shopping. We spent the weekend at the lake hoping the rain would go away the entire time.

Payton on the other hand, actually loved the rain! She stood on the porch with it pouring on top of her. She was having a ball, so we didn't stop her.

We did get in a little swim time with Kayden. He was fearless and had to show Payton the ropes.


First boat ride of the year. She loved helping her daddy drive.

In other news, our baby is now 15 months. We go to the doctor next week for her checkup. She has started to outgrow some of her 12 month clothes which just reminds me how fast she is growing. She insists on eating with a spoon these days (although very messy) I have finally given in and let her take over. She loves reading and learning new words. It's amazing to me just how much a 15 month old can learn.



I am very much looking forward to spending some extra time with this sweet girl in the coming weeks!
