Kaylen's First Fourth of July

One year ago today my beautiful sister Mindy married the love of her life Rob in Jamaica!  What an amazing day that was!  Congratulations you two!  We love you so much!

Well we didn't get our pool fixed in time for the Fourth of July but we enjoyed ourselves anyway.  Mike got some baby friendly fireworks for us.  We introduced KJ to sparklers and fireworks called the Black Widow and the Aquarium.  She was a little frightened but intrigued.  We just had a nice day at home.

We finally got our pool fixed on July 7th.  Mike spent a lot of time and chlorine to get the pool back to beautiful.  It looked the best its ever looked!  So we invited some friends over with their babies to enjoy their first times in the pool.  Ryan, Davina and Griffin came over and had a blast!  Fin loved the water!  Then Courtney and Kyla came over.  Kyla loved the water too!  KJ enjoyed her pool time but wasn't her perky self that day.  She learned to splash the water and would get upset when she splashed herself.

Another thing that happened  is KJ got her first official haircut!  Aunt Barb has had a salon in her house and I have such fond memories in that salon.  I remember as a child coming to CA and getting to do my hair in the salon and getting a shampoo in the bowl.  Well that salon as I know it is disappearing.  Guess its time to change the room for what Barb needs and get some upgrading.  So....I had to get KJ's hair cut in that salon!  Its not that she really needed it but we just trimmed it a little and made it even.  I have some hair for her memory book.



Aunt Barb got KJ a purple talking dog named Violet.  You can connect it to the computer and personalize it.  Its says her name.  She loves it!
