Our Summer thus Far

The weather is finally warm enough to go swimming, and Gwenie couldn't be more excited. She's been asking to go swim since I think the beginning of May, and she finally got to go on Monday and then again yesterday. It wasn't exactly the place I wanted to take her, but with all the rain and flooding there wasn't to many other options, but to go to the lake. Gwenie didn't care she loved it, she even held her nose and went under the water yesterday. She also tried to build a "princess" castle with the sand. Max was really good too, but mostly just slept.




Last Friday our little girl had her 2nd birthday :( She's getting so big! I can't believe how much time really does fly by...I want her to stay the way she is right now forever...she's in such a fun stage right now! Anyway, she wanted a Mickey Mouse birthday even though I was set on having a Princess party. So I decided since it was next to impossible to find Mickey Mouse birthday stuff to make her a cake which my sister helped me decorate Thanks Sissy!!!! It turned out pretty good I think...

We took her to the park and rode the train which she wasn't to sure about and then had her party that night. She said her favorite part of her party was when they sang Happy Birthday to her. She thought it was so funny. I think she had a good birthday despite all the storms!
Here are a few pictures of Gwenie and her birthday presents...

Max is also doing really good! He is almost 7 weeks old now, I can't believe that either. We took him to the doctor a couple of weeks ago for his 1 month check up and he had already gained a little over 3 pounds...he's up to 10 lbs. 13 oz. as of May 30th and I'm sure he's at least 11 lbs by now. He's starting to smile a lot more now and last night he was cracking up at Gwenie (of course nothing came out, just a big smile) it was so funny to watch them! I can't to see them grow up together.
