June 2017
I love the summer, and I love the summer even more now that we have Gwendolyn and Emily! It's so much fun to see them play in sprinklers, swim, and explore!
We started the month out by working on a project for Gwen's room. She needed a larger dresser, and we found a really great one at Ikea! I put it together, and Gwen did a lot of painting! Emily was the project manager, and we did a great job together!
Gwen did her first and second sessions of swim lessons! This was her first time, and her teacher was Miss Hannah. She taught Gwen and three other students in each session, and I loved being able to watch! I took away some great things, too. At the end of swim, Miss Hannah had all the kids put their hands in the middle and they'd all say, "Swimming is awesome!" That is now one of Gwen's favorite activities. Dinner table, car, church, wherever we are, she loves putting her hands in with our and counting, "1, 2, 3, Swimming is awesome!!!"
Gwendolyn is very aware of when Jake and I go on dates. She notices when I put on nicer clothes, do my hair and my makeup, and has now taken a liking to also going on dates. She used to ask Jake to take her on dates, but she's been asking me a lot lately, and I always agree! I'll take a date night any day, any family member, any time! For one date, Gwen put on her favorite pajamas and I was okay with that! At another, she chose a pretty dress, and for another a nice top. She always puts on her chapstick for our dates, and I'm pretty fond of the conversations we have.
We had the opportunity aka FREE DAY to go spend some time in Tucson to see the new LDS temple. We went with some of our most favorite friends, and it was so fun! The temple was beautiful, and we had the most delicious salsa at lunch!
We've been able to watch my parent's dogs for them while they've been out of town lately, and Gwen is in love with them. She loves Fred, but my mom's dogs are so small and Gwen chases them everywhere calling to them, "Here little cuties!" She's such a kind and gentle girl!
EMILY CAN WALK! She began in June and just gets better and better! She sometimes shakes her hands as she walks and I've never seen anything cuter than that!
Jake and I celebrated our 7th wedding anniversary! We went and saw Wonder Woman and ate dinner. That movie was incredible and I want to watch it 1,000 more times.
We also celebrated Father's Day! We have such excellent men in our lives, and it's so nice to celebrate them!
