Went to the Woodbridge Lagoon on Saturday... such a blast!
The waterslide was a hit with Mattie... she wanted to go over and over again...
Playing at the frogs by Rubys after dinner w/ BFF Tatum
Sitting at the big girl table at the Alldays house where we had a fun BBQ on Sunday! Aubrey and Emma sure have a fun backyard!
Mattie battled the ground at the pool, and the ground won... hence, moms everywhere yelling to their kids "no running at the pool"... the sad thing is, it looks even worse two days later! Its all dark and scabby!
The same evening we went to an outdoor concert in Long Beach w/ the Orliczkys... good times, except the battery died in the camera after this one shot! P.S. Thomas makes excellent pesto!!!
Mattie started the day at a block party on Balsa Street w/ grandma and grandpa.... daddy took her for a spin on the neighbors cool bike...
She showed off her headband again...
We headed over to the Tatom/Silveri BBQ later that evening... Mattie and Tatum played in the backyard for a while....
Mattie even waved the flag w/out eating it! We headed over to the park to watch fireworks when it got dark and the kiddos stayed awake for the whole show! What a fabulous, fun-filled day it turned out to be!
Mattie got two super cute patriotic outfits so she had to wear one on the 3rd to Woodbridge Lake, shown above.... she really wants to jump in the lake, huh?
And here is this morning, the 4th... only she won't keep the cute headband on her head! More pics of the day will be up later.... after we attend our two BBQ's!
On this first day of July, Mattie and Mama went to storytime and the park in the morning... then we melted, so we decided to go over to grandma and grandpa's house so they would take us to the pool... Grandpa can't get Mattie out of that stroller fast enough, she is sooo eager to jump right in the pool... even though she doesn't know how to swim yet!
Mattie shows off her walking in the water skills here. She tips over far less than she did just a week ago... and even when she does go under, she doesn't seem to be too startled, just frustrated that her hair got wet :)
After bugging grandma all afternoon, we headed over to Tatum's for an afternoon playdate... where Mattie proceeded to steal the snack cup right out of Tatum's hand, but then she hand fed her the very snack she had stole! The looks here say it all...
We were invited to the Gordy's for another play date, and boy was it fun! The mamas took the babies to the pool, but the water fun did not end there! The little ones decided to play in the bath together to wash off the pool germs... Sylvie, Mattie, and Aaron are all in the buff here!
During snack time, Mattie decided she really liked what Sylvie was eating, and proceeded to climb onto Sylvie's tray to get right in the action... does that face say "guilty" or what?
Aaron's mama really wanted to spoil the kids this time.. not only is there a fun pool, a fun bath, and dogs to play with... but there is also now a sandbox in the backyard! Play dates don't get better than this!
Today we visited Hullabaloos Clubhouse, an indoor playground, for the first time. Mattie enjoyed pushing Sylvie in the car and really liked the obstacle course of getting to the big slide.
When we got home, I attempted to put her hair in a ponytail again, and succeeded this time... Mattie's new nickname is "pebbles jazayeri"... look at that pony stand straight up!
