New Tricks!

Reese and Presley learn new tricks every day. Reese can swim from me to the steps by herself and kick and paddle. We are working on her taking a breath. She can blow bubbles in the water and with the bubble wand and can do a big cannonball jump off the couch. Presley is walking all over the place and is EXTREMELY proud of herself for this. She also likes to swim, too. Yesterday while I was holding her in the pool, she started throwing her head back and fussing. I set her on the steps and she turned around, sucked in a breath, closed her eyes, and jumped toard me. Our little guppy wanted to swim. She spent the rest of the afternoon jumping in the pool and swimming to mom and dad. She is such a little fish. She can climb from her little rocking chair onto the couch, do a flipover OFF the couch and climb anything around. She can also say "Thank you" and loves to fold her arms when we say "oracion" ("prayer" in spanish). She loves to do everything that Big Sister Reese does. She is learning to stand up for herself when reese wrestles her to the ground and puts her in a headlock. Reese loves to tickle Presley and give her big hugs and lots of wet kisses. She is still a little jealous at times...but loves her little shadow more than anything in the world. I think I forgot to add this one, but a couple months ago I was having a hard tme getting Reese's attention. I thought maybe she had a hearing problem. One day, Reese was interested in playing with something when I called her name, "Reese!" She didn't respond, so I called her again. "Reese". The third time, "Reese", still no response. Finally, I clapped my hands together and she turned to look at me with one hand on her hip and mockingly said, "Weese, Weese, Weese..." and then she resumed what she was doing. So she doesn't have a hearing problem, just an attitude problem. HaHa. I write all this down, so I can remember it and so they have record of it when I print the blogs for them in book form. So, if you get bored reading all the cute little things my kids do, so sorry, it's a journal for them. Pics coming soon.

The sand pail cake
















We had a little shin-dig at the pool yesterday to celebrate Presley's 1st birthday with grandparents and friends. Since she LOVED eating the sand at the beach, I decided to make her a sand pail cake. The pictures say it all.
This is Reese at the pool when she has not had a nap!

Presley loves to spin in the air!

Nana and Reese (doesn't reese look so happy? Once again, this is reese when she hasn't had a nap).


Presley and her awesome sunglasses!


Presley is so silly!











Presley is so funny. She growls at everything and in these pictures, she is throwing her head back and making this incredibly strange noise that sounds like darth vader.

Dan Nicholas Park

Presley is not too sure if she is liking this water pad!
Ok, maybe it's not so bad!

I like it!


We went to Dan Nicholas park on Thursday with Candis and Paula and all the kids. They had a water pad, train, aquarium, carousel, petting zoo...and much more! The girls had a great time and were passed out before we even left the parking lot.



Presley's first pool party!
