Our Big Girl!!!!!!!!!!!!!

So our little Rayden is now a big girl and is potty trained!!!! Here she is showing off her big girl panties! She picked out her own underwear and got Curious George ones, Little Mermaid ones and Happy Feet ones! She loves going on the potty and gets a little treat for now when she does. It took about a week and she is doing great, we only use Pull Ups for nap time and bed time. YEA no more diapers!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Bouncy House

Grandma and Papa got Rayden a bouncy house for her birthday!! We are going to use it for Rayden's birthday party so she had to test it out first with a little quality control!! She LOVES her bouncy house and asks to go over to Papa and Grandma's house all the time now so she can bounce! All of her friends will have fun in it at her party! Invitations coming soon!

Little Sprite

We found this headband at the dollar store that had sparkly long hair attatched to it. Rayden ran around with it on for awhile but she doesn't like the feel of it on her arms. She tried to get everyone else to wear the headband too.

Swimming!

Rayden sure loves swimming in the big pool at Grandma and Papa's house! She loves being thrown up in the air, swimming around with us and hanging out in her little floatie boat. It is really hard to get her out of there when we are all done, I think she would stay in there all the time if we let her!

A Trip to the Waterslides

Shawna and I took all of the kids to the waterslides in Ashland one day because it was so hot. Rayden had fun her first time down while I kept an eye on C.J. She came back and waited with me while he took his turn. C.J was crying and upset when he came back and Rayden went again. This time she decided she didn't like it and was crying too, I think mostly because C.J was! So after everyone was done sliding they all got ice cream to cool off a bit. All in all it was a fun day!

Ray's New Chair

Here is Rayden in her new chair that Grandma Bonnie got her while we were in Klamath. She loves having her own chair to sit on out on the porch! Thanks Grandma!!

Ice Cream

So Rayden had her first soft serve cone from Dairy Queen!! Of course we ended up getting it for her on one of the hottest days she it turned into a big big mess, but she sure didn't care!!! She loved that ice cream cone and didn't want to give it up for anything. Yummy!

Feeding the Birds

A couple of weekends ago we headed over to Klamath for a visit. We had a lot of fun there! We went downtown Klamath and walked around, went out for ice cream, went for a lot of walks outside and played! Rayden had a great time visiting with Grandma, Grandpa and Grandmoooo. Here are a few pictures of Rayden and Grandma feeding the birds over there. Rayden loved putting out food for all the birds and watching them east it the next morning!

Fun with Grandma

Rayden had a blast playing with Grandma while we were there. Grandma would push her down onto the couch, then drag her off and then hang her upside down! Rayden had so so much fun and kept asking to do it again and again. She wore Grandma out!

Grandma's Cookie

Daddy made cookies for everyone while we were in Klamath! Rayden stole this cookie she is eating from Grandma. Such a little thief!!

Computer games

Rayden loves watching people play computer games now, and so at Grandma's house she watched her play a fishy game.

Happy 4th of July!

To celebrate the 4th of July we spent the day over at Grandma and Papa's house and had a BBQ over there and then after Daddy got off work we headed over to Shawna and Matt's house for another BBQ and fireworks! Rayden had a great time playing with all of the kids that were there and then had fun with the fireworks later. We had a great day!

Watching the Fireworks

Rayden had a great time watching the fireworks!! Everytime one of them was done she would say "Fireworks again!" C.J. on the other hand hated the fireworks and spent most of the night sitting of the front door stairs in Jeff's arms shaking....poor little guy!

Sparkler Fun

Caitlyn and Rayden loved doing sparklers with a little help from Daddy and Auntie Shawna! Hey what kid doesn't like sparklers!!????!!

Fireworks

Here are just a few pictures I got of the fireworks that the guys were doing. You can't see the big fireworks from Shawna's house so this is as close as we got!

A Day at the Park

Shawna, Jen and I took all of the kids to the park the other day for a little R&R. Here they all are hanging out with Brayden on his blanket after we ate lunch. C.J was hiding under the picnic table so lucky Bray got all the girls to himself!
