Summer fun!

Centerville parade July 4th!

Twins?

Crazy girls and best friends!



This is so Kaydee!  My wild girl!

We've been having such a fun summer.  It's been super hot so the kids have been playing in the water a lot.  We've been going to Lagoon (gotta take advantage of the free season passes), and the girls are getting brave.  They love the huge white ferris wheel now, and the sky ride.  We took them to Roy aquatic center which they love and want to go every day. 

Maycee is officially walking!  She's 14 months, so right between when the other 2 walked.  Sydnee was 16 months and Kaydee was 13.  Maycee is also a climber.  She pushed her little play table over to the couch, then climbed on it, then up onto the couch and then looked at me and gave me her total cheese smile.  She is so much like Kaydee was.

A few funnies:

Sydnee talked the WHOLE time at the eye dr.  People were laughing at her motor mouth.  Well, she asked if I was getting glasses, or consequences.  I said "you mean, contact lenses?"  Lol.

Then Sydnee was showing grandma Becky her fingernails and the paint had come off of one and she told my mom "they are all jacked up."  So funny.

Also, Sydnee wants to know how everything in the world works.  She won't let me give vague answers.  Particularly she wants to know how babies come out of their mom's tummies.  When I wouldn't really give her an answer, she came up with her own.  "They find a magic hole to come out of."

Ha ha.  Love my kids.



Doctor appointments.

Sydnee and Kaydee had their 4 and 5 year appointments.  Sydnee had to get shots for kindergarten, and we had the option to get Kaydee's done and over with so I decided to do it.  It was awful!  Well, first of all they got their weight and height checked which was fine.  They want Sydnee to go up a little on the height charts by the time she turns 6, because she is falling lower.  She was only like 1.5 inches taller than Kaydee.  Sydnee is 33 lbs, Kaydee is 28.5.  Everything else was great with them.  But they had to poke their finger to get an iron test.  So Sydnee went first, she was really good and didn't cry or anything, so after I got her off the table, told her how brave she was, and she sat down in the chair.  Then I was holding Kaydee while she got hers done and suddenly Sydnee is behind me whining that her belly hurt.  She said she needed to go potty and she was white as a ghost.  I took her to the bathroom and she didn't need to go potty but felt like she was going to throw up.  She got really weak and had no color.  We came out of the bathroom and the dr met us there and said she needed to lay down with her knees up and drink some juice, because she was probably about to faint.  So she had to lay there for a really long time because if we sat her up she would immediately get white and feel yucky again.  She got good enough to where I could hold her on my lap and they gave her 4 shots in her legs, which she didn't like, then we immediately layed her down so she wouldn't faint.  Then I had to hold Kaydee while they gave her the shots and since she saw what they did to Sydnee, she immediately started screaming like she was in a horror film and did so the whole time they gave her shots.  I tried to comfort her, but I was also so worried about little fainting Sydnee!  We ended up being there for 1.5 hours because Sydnee just couldn't sit up.  She actually fell asleep on the table and I carried her out and when we got home she went straight to the couch and only tried to get up a couple times, but it made her sick so she went right back to the couch.  Her dr said it is a response some people get, and it's normal but there aren't many kids that young that do that.  Lucky us!
The other thing that happened is they had Sydnee do an eye test and I thought for sure she would pass since she passed at preschool a few months ago.  Well, the dr's office said her vision was only 20/50 and she could use an eye exam.  I had to go anyway, so me and Sydnee both went yesterday, an sure enough, she is getting glasses.  Her left eye is 20/20, but her right eye has astigmatism and is only about 20/60.  He said it's great we caught it early and for now with glasses he can get that eye to 20/25, but eventually probably 20/20.  If we wouldn't have caught it, eventually it would be a lazy eye.  So I'm glad for a great pediatrician!  She will get her glasses in about 2 weeks and I sure hope they are cute because my eyes were dilated when we were picking them out and I could only see her if I stood way back.  Of course, she's cute no matter what!

Happy 4th birthday Kaydee!

She was so excited about all her presents.

Her new bear that she has named pinky.

Her adorable care bear cake!

So much fun on the bouncy toys.



She loved climing up the skee ball ramp and cheating!  Little stinker.

Cousins!



Kaydee had a wonderful 4th birthday.  She wanted to have it at Classic fun center, so we did a semi private party, and there was only 1 other group there so we nearly had the place to ourselves.  The kids all had a blast and Kaydee didn't want to leave.  When we got home we blew up her new pool and they went swimming.  It was such a hot day.  Then we let her pick what she wanted for dinner and she wanted Noodles, so we went there.  The first thing she said to me that morning was "Now I'm 4 so I don't need naps anymore."  She was exhausted by the time the day was over, but she had the best day and got so many fun new toys!  She still hasn't opened them all.  We are so lucky to have amazing family that comes no matter what to celebrate our kids on their special day.  And now, no more parties to plan til April :-)
