Labor Day fun!!!



We are having so much fun with our lil 2 year old!! It seems like she is just learning new things OVERNIGHT! We had a swimming lesson at 10, which just exhausted Ms. Leeza, so she slept for 2 hours,then we HIT THE BEACH!







She had a blast and we stayed for over 3 hours, and she swam with Sean in the ocean, kicked the soccer ball up and down the beach, tried to steal some guy's pringles, went and told another guy with a birthday hat on HAPPY BIRTHDAY, and figured out how to drink from a juice box. It was so funny when we saw this guy with a birthday hat on. Leeza remembered her hats from her party and said BIRTHDAY!! It was pretty adorable!




We got home and spent an hour in the pool-with Leeza jumping off the side, swimming back to the wall, and doing it over and over and over again. She is getting so confident in the water--God bless our darling swimming teacher Emilie! We were so blessed that Emilie even came by Leeza's birthday party and got her a darling Hokey Pokey Elmo. It's so cute to hear Leeza "sing" the Hokey Pokey and do the motions.

After the pool, nap, beach, pool, we all donned our sports gear (thanks Karen and Max for Leeza's adorable Bengal's cheerleader dress...we left the turtleneck at home!)and headed to Chick Fil A to get our free chicken sandwich. Leeza was mostly interested in her fries, and even more interested in this girl's Elmo shirt she saw, then she spied a Sesame Street book in the book bin near the play area. She has a huge Sesame Street radar. It is SO funny!! Last night when I put her to bed (had to chase her around-instead of being exhausted from all that running around-she was crazy hyper!), she insisted on taking BIG BIRD to bed with her too. Whoa...out with Elmo, in with Big Bird? Nah..just mad love for all of the Sesame Street gang!







Ooh Leeza Grace-we are enjoying you so much!! You are such a lil character!!!

This week is a big week-she starts preschool on Thursday! I think she is going to do so well (at least I hope so!!) She will look so cute in her new Elmo shirts her friend Ryan gave her for her birthday!!!

she looks so cute in her cheerleading outfit. Ryan wants Sadie to have a cheerleading uniform for his football team. I'm hoping she skips over cheerleading cause she is going to be focused on becoming the gymnastics olympian she is meant to be, but because I want her to have the life she wants, we'll she may end up a cheerleader after all.

Looks like such a fun day. I love how awesome Sean is to her.

Hope he feels better soon.

What a little cutie! I can't believe she's swimming already- Rin can hardly deal with me washing his hair in the bath. Looks like you guys had a great time at the beach. What is it about kids at the beach that's just so darn adorable?

And you asked on my blog about plans for kid #2- well, I think we may be changing plans and adopting from somewhere besides Kaz and it makes me sooooo sad. But we'll see. I'll put something on the blog when we have things figured out for sure. We just don't want to stress our family and friends out until we know what we're doing.

Anyway little Leeza is just getting so big and cuter by the day! And Sean looks like he's a great big brother. Good luck with school- I'm sure she will do great!
