She lost a tooth!

Right before going to bed on July 20th, while I was helping Kamryn brush her teeth I noticed that her tooth was just about ready to come out. It has been loose for a while and she was wiggling it all day on her first day of school. She wanted me to pull it out but I thought it would be better if she did it herself. So she grabbed a washcloth and gave it a tug and it came right out! She was so excited! When Kamryn woke up the next morning, she came into my room to tell me that the tooth fairy came! The tooth fairy wrote her a little note that basically congratualted her on losing her first tooth. The tooth fairy told her since it was her first she would let her keep it this time. She also reminded her to eat healthy foods and to brush and floss to make sure she keeps her adult teeth healthy. She also gave her a dollar! What an exciting time!

First Grade

Kamryn started first grade on July 20th. When she finished kindergarten she was nervous to go into first grade but on the first day she wasn't nervous anymore and did great! Poor Macy thought she was going to pull up a chair and sit right next to Kamryn and color. When we had to leave she was upset. She said she wants to be in first grade too. She's going to miss her big sister's company during the day. After school I got a picture of her and her friend, Vance. I can't believe she is in first grade already!

Last day of summer

On Kamryn's last day of summer vacation we went to the Museum of Man at Balboa Park. Since she is interested in mummies right now, I knew she'd like it. We saw some mummies and got to smell the different things that they put on the bodies. It was pretty interesting. The kids liked to pretend that they were mummies too. Then we had a nice picnic lunch on the grass.

Fourth of July weekend

The girls and I drove up to my parents house for the 4th of July weekend. My dad had bought some cupcakes with red, white, or blue frosting and Macy had fun eating it, but it sure made a mess! On Saturday we walked around the lake to see what the vendors were selling. They had a helicopter there that practiced it's water dropping for fires and the girls loved watching it! It can suck up something like 230 gallons of water in only 30 seconds. But the lake water was so dirty when they dropped it back in the lake, it looked disgusting! Afterwards they let us sit in it, they really liked that too! We took Kamryn to the pool while my dad stayed home with Macy so she could nap. Then after dinner we had our s'mores from the barbecue! We actually had s'mores a lot!! Macy preferred to eat everything seperately or just dig the chocolate out of the s'more that she had. Too funny! They loved my mom's bath with the jets and all of the bubbles. On Sunday after church my mom and Macy went outside to blow some bubbles while Kamryn played the Wii with my brother. Of course on the 4th of July I had to take pictures of the hot air balloons that are out. We took both girls to the pool that day and they had so much fun. My dad even got in the baby pool with them! He had his face in the water and Macy kept asking her papa if he was okay. I think she was worried he was going to drown or something. After the pool, Macy took an really long nap. I wasn't planning on taking her to watch the fireworks, but since her nap was so long we did. She loved them! When the show was over she kept asking for more fireworks. I wanted to take a picture of the finale, but that is when my camera died, and it hasn't worked since. Time for a new camera now. It was a fun 4th of July weekend!
