Happy 4th of July!!!

~

Here is my little patriotic arrangement for the 4th of July!Yea!!!....(I had a cute little flag to stick in the middle of this, and totally forgot to even use it till now!!Hehe-oh well!)



Here's our little lounging floater!! Carly had her first official time in the pool yesterday!! She freaked out at first to our surprise(she LOVES bath time), but we think it was due to the freezing water which actually felt quite nice with the 90+degree weather, once you got use to it. I tried to calm her down and endured the screaming for the next minute or so, and luckily she gave in. In fact, she was motionless-She didn't even move a muscle until I got her out. You can see how "excited" she was to be in the pool by the look on her face in these pics. We'd like to think that she wasn't so much frozen with fear, but just relaxing and enjoying the experience! Hopefully with some more practice with the pool, she'll be doing cannon balls into the water in no time!!!




We want to also mention that Carly's uncle, and our little brother Carsen turned 11 on the 3rd of July!! So grown up Carsen!! I'm sure it's crazy to think that next month, 19 YEARS ago, Ryan was turning 11!! Hehe-LOL! Carsen, you keep us all young!! You are such a breath of fresh air to us all. Carly loves you so much, and always lights up when you're around. Thanks for always being so much fun, a joy to be in the family with, and such a great brother and uncle. We miss you and love you so much!!!....we REALLY do. Come see us soon!! You and me have got some yummy shakes to make!!.....or a LONG road-trip to SONIC! Yipeee!!
Happy 11th!!

The pool experience looks like it was very fun...or maybe that your baby was just merely enduring it. I'm sure she'll endure it soon enough. The 4th of July arrangement looks great! I need to learn how to do that.
