Family Fun

This has been a fun week for us. On Monday, for FHE, we decided to take Amy over to the splashpad at the Goodyear Park. She likes to put her hands in, but hasn't been willing to run through the water yet. That's why we bring her dad! Mike took her hand and ran with her through the water. She was soaked, but was cracking up and did it a couple more times. Afterwards, we went out for an ice cream cone - Amy's first! She LOVED it! We pulled the whole top part off into a cup because it was dripping like crazy, but she didn't care. Her new thing is "hold it," meaning she wants to hold it. That made the ice cream cone perfect. She looks so big!
Later in the week, Amy was wandering the house. She likes to climb up on our bed and jump around, and she found a bowl of popcorn on the bedside table. This is how I found her - feet on the wall and the bowl of popcorn in hand.
My sister Calli and her two kids, Taylor and Keaton, were in town this week too, so we decided to have a girls day/night. Amy and I went over in the morning and went swimming at my moms. In the afternoon my mom and I made t-shirt dressed for Taylor and Amy! It was so fun and easy, and I want to make another one so I can practice and get better, so if anyone wants to get together and make some, let me know! They're so 80's, so we had to put the fat headbands and Amy's hair is in a side ponytail. What cute girls! Taylor really likes when she and Amy match, so this was fun for them.
That night we went to dinner (yum, yum... Gecko Grill). Then we went to the movies... Mamma Mia! We had seen the play, so we were excited to see the movie. While we thought Meryl Streep was too old to play that role, the music is so fun that we had a blast. Too much, in fact, because the ladies behind us kept ssshing us. Oh well. If they were having fun, they wouldn't mind. Thanks mom and sisters for a fun night! We don't get to have these very often because Calli lives in Missouri and Summer is going to college in the fall!
