So this year Adam turned 28! For his birthday me and the girls surprised him at work and brought him lunch. We also made for him a poster candy graham with a bunch of candy on it. Then for dinner I made him one of his favorite dinners Lasagna with garlic bread, salad and lemonade. Then the girls helped him open his presents and we had cake. It was just a fun night together as a family.

2nd set of Swim Lessons
The first and second week in July Adalyn did another swim class. We also decided to put Ellie in a swim class. It's a mommy and me class. So I had to get in the water with her which I didn't love that, but I like that Ellie loved being in the water. The class was a lot of singing while teaching the kids things like, floating on there backs, blowing bubbles, going under the water, jumping into the water and kicking. The last day of class both Adalyn and Ellie went down the slide by themselves. I was so excited for them! Adalyn has really gotten over her fears and I am so proud of her. Ellie loves the water and once even jumped in when I wasn't looking! She's Crazy!
Adam came one day and swam with us.
This was taken right after she went all the way under water.
They let the kids wear these suits going down the slide to make them feel more comfortable.

Ellie opening her gifts!
So on her actual birthday since we went to Santa Cruz we didn't bring any of her gifts and we didn't do a cake. I was planning on doing it Saturday but since it was the 4th it was to busy. So she got a birthday weekend and we did it on Sunday. She was so excited to have a Dora cake and open her presents. Although as you can see it was Adalyn who opened most of them and then convinced Ellie to let her have them. Ellie loved all her presents.

4th July 2009
For the 4th this year our base was having a free pool party with a free bbq. So we decided to go and do that since it was so hot and the kids could swim. Then we came home and the kids took a nap. After that we went to some friends house in Wheatland that are in our ward the Zarges family. It was so nice to go to friends house and let the kids play. There youngest Karlie is a little bit older then Ellie but they love to play together. Almost every sunday Karlie comes and sits with us and in nursery they are always playing. Ellie came out of nursery about a month ago saying "Karlie my best friend" It was so cute. Anyways so we had a bbq and the kids played and then when it got dark all there neighbors came outside and we all set off fireworks together. It was a really nice night.
At our bases pool.
This is the first time Ellie did sparklers. She loved it!
Adalyn loved driving there power wheels. 
We changed Ellie into her pajamas before we left, she is so cute!

Happy Birthday Ellie!!
I can't believe Ellie is 2 years old! Time flies by. She was very excited for her birthday and instead of having a birthday party we decided to take her somewhere fun. We have never been to Santa Cruz but thought it would be a lot of fun. Adam had Friday and Monday off for 4th of July so Thursday night we drove to Travis AFB which is in the middle of our drive to Santa Cruz. It is such a nice base I am so jealous of it. Anyways the girls loved staying somewhere new. On Friday we got up on Ellie's B-day and drove the rest of the way. There is a huge board walk there with tons of rides and yummy food. It's also right on the beach. The sand was so soft. The girls loved seeing everything and were so excited. We kept telling Ellie it was her birthday she was so excited. Both girls went on rides for the very first time. I was very suprised about that! After eating and walking up and down the board walk for a couple of hours we went to the beach where Ellie got right in the water and rolled around in the sand. By the end of the day we had worn out the birthday girl and she fell asleep in my arms while Adam and Adalyn made a sand castle. It was a great day and we had fun celebrating Ellie's b-day. A little bit about my sweet girl. She makes my heart melt with her big eyes and cute smile! She is very independent and loves to say, "I do it my self" She is also a lot more adventerous than Adalyn. I call her my jumping bean because she jumps on everything, the floor, couch, all our beds, she loves to jump everywhere. We love her so much and are so happy we are blessed to have her in our family.

Slip-N-Slide
On June 27th it was really, really hot so I decided it would be a great day to get out our new slip-n-slide and little pool. I didn't know what the girls would think about it but they loved it! We had a really nice family night. The movie with Ellie is so funny, She wanted to do it,"all myself" so she army crawled down the slide. It was hard work!
