Swimming Lessons & Sunflower Festival

Mom helped with the Sunflower Festival Queen Pageant Fashion Show again this year. I even got to be a part of it as well. I gave the flowers to the 2nd Princess, and got to walk out on the big stage. I did a great job, and I was very brave. I practiced my wave all week, and got it down pat!!

All ready to go

Kelly Fehr was crowned and I'm giving her flowers

Here is our big wave

Callie Tomchuk was the 1st Princess, I see Callie all the time when I go to my babysitters, so I was very excited for her.

I made it through the entire 2 weeks of swimming lessons this year. Last year I only lasted 2 days before I got pnemonia. I passed sea turtle, and I had a great time. I got a lot braver throughout the week. I look a little grumpy in this pic about the whole diving board thing.

Just couldn't do it on my own

Aberdeen

This was our second annual Aberdeen camping week. It was awesome, and it was hot! So humid that Lyla had to stay in the camper most of the time because she just cried if we took her outside. This is why there are no pics of storybook land this year. On this 5 hour drive we realized that Lyla is not a driver just like our Halle. We purchased portable dvd players the day after we got home. Driving has been great ever since!

Mark & Meagan rented a buggy and I got a ride

the lake at the campground is the best. I had so much fun.
