Some exciting news!!!

Well hello again! I apologize for the long delay in between posts. Unfortunately we have been experiencing some computer problems lately and I haven't been able to upload any pictures and you know me... I love posting with pictures.

So this week has been busy and a lot of fun. On Sunday we all got to go to Grandpa and Monka's house to celebrate Rayven, Bryce and Aunt Sue's birthday. We had a great time, as always. Minnie make the most awesome birthday cakes, I am ashamed to say I didn't bring my camera and don't have a picture. But the first one was a pirate hat and the second was an amazing sand castle. So much fun to look at AND to eat!!! But the best news of the day came when Uncle Matt and Aunt Heather stole the thunder when they made their announcements!!! First, after four long years Uncle Matt Matt (not a typo, that's what Cadence calls him!) passed his board exams and is now a dentist!!! Congratulations Uncle Matt Matt. And second Aunt Heather is pregnant!!! So we are going to have another Cilderman baby coming in November!!! Congratulations Aunt Heather and Uncle Matt, you two are going to make wonderful parents!

On Monday the girls and I had to get out of the house to give Daddy some space to clean the fish tank so we went to the beach. We went and picked up some lunch and had a picnic. As much fun as it sounds it can be a little difficult eating at the beach. At first the girls didn't want to sit because they wanted to go play. Finally Kendall just got up and drug the bag of sand toys over to the towel so she could just sit next to them while she ate. Our picnic was officially over when Cadence decided to pick up a handful of sand to sprinkle it on her sandwich at say, "I put salt on my sandwich Mommy!" Such a good imagination! It was in the 90's that day so after an hour of playing all three of us were hot, sweaty and miserable from the heat so we headed home.
And then yesterday we spent most of the morning at the pool. This time I did not force Kendall to get in and just let her do things on her own time. She loved watching us swim and splash around, and about half an hour in she was comfortable enough to sit on the side and kick her feet. It was funny to watch her because every time her Daddy went underwater she would have a worried look on her face for a second but as soon as he popped out of the water she would burst out laughing and pointing at him. She is such a sweet girl and loves her Daddy so much!! After a long day of play we all headed home for some lunch and a long afternoon nap!
