Fun with the water table

Uncle TJ gave Kimber a water table for her 1st birthday and we finally played with it last weekend!! Between June being colder than usual, being gone almost every weekend and trying to get packing done on our free weekends - we just haven't had the time to go outside and play with it. The one weekend we did set it up for Kimber to play with, it started raining while we were changing her into her swimming suit!
 
Sunday was a beautiful day and we wanted to be outside to enjoy the nice weather! I set the water table up before her afternoon nap so the water had time to warm up. After she woke up, we were outside playing for close to 2 hours. I love these summer days making memories together! And I think the smile on her face, proves that she loves it too!
 
 

 



 



After playing with the water table for almost an hour, we went on a walk up & down the driveway in her tricycle {for the 600th time this summer!}. While we were playing, Nick was cleaning out the shed so we stopped by to see him.

 

Kimber loves to practice walking behind everything these days!
 

 
Kimber was having fun exploring the front yard. She kept scooting down the big hill on her bottom like it was a slide!
 
 

Once Nick was done in the shed, he came over & played with Kimber in the water table. Obviously, Daddy is way more fun than me...he plopped her right down inside the water table and she loved it!
 
 

 
 

It was great afternoon and I'm hoping this summer slows down, so we can enjoy more afternoons together as a family making memories!

Doc Chloe Turns Four!

 Last weekend, we helped Chloe celebrate her 4th birthday with a Doc McStuffins themed birthday party! Allysha {my SIL} did a great job decorating the table with all things 'Doc'
 
 

 
 



Auntie Paige made Chloe's cake and not only was it amazing...but it tasted great, too! 

 

The party started at 1:00 in the afternoon, which is Kimber's normal nap time. She played for awhile but once Papa took her outside to swing - she was out! And slept thru most of the party!!  
 
 

Time to open gifts!!
 
















Next it was time to sing to the birthday girl and blow out candles. Chloe is shy and wasn't a fan of everyone singing to her and didn't want to blow out the candles. BUT she was ready to dig into the cake!
 
 
 
 
Kimber woke up just in time to enjoy some cookies and ice cream!
 

Love this pictures of Kimber getting snuggled on by her Auntie Paige & Uncle Landon!
 
 
We headed outside to play on the trampoline, swing set and gator before it was time to go home. Kimber loved the trampoline and was bouncing all over the place! It might be a great birthday gift for her next year!!



These two are beyond adorable together. Their cousin bond is so cute! They love to play together and are so excited to see each other! I can't wait to watch them grow up as cousin/friends!
