The Primary Bike Parade...

We had a water party with our Krommenhoek side!

We played slip and slide kickball-SO FUN-

Grandma took care of the little ones so we could play easier!

Alexa's first attempt riding her bike

her training wheel broke...so what do we do?

try to teach her to ride :)  We'll see...

we may just buy more training wheels!

Did I mention yet that we really LOVE SUMMERTIME??!

princesses and playing

Alexa had a Princess Club

-that a few girls in the neighborhood put on-

this past week.

So our girls were having fun being Belle in their yellow dresses!

(every color is yellow to Karli right now!  She loves the color yellow!)

A couple more pictures of gymnastics...

don't know if there will be more gymnastics (for us) for awhile

once preschool starts up

And, of course, the splash park!

INCREDIGIRL--IKWIA

I spent my last week at GIRLS CAMP!

It was AMAZING!

Our theme was Incredigirl--I Know Who I Am.
I loved being at girls camp
I love my Young Women
It actually felt like vacation,
even though I missed Ty and the girls
A lot of good times and good memories
