Papa and Gram's Pool

Daddy and Mommy finally made it back to Oklahoma after working all week. I missed them so much. They went swimming in Papa and Gram's pool with me. I liked their jetski.


I am happy any time I am in the water.


I thought the canopy was ok, but I preferred having it off.


Thanks to all the Martins and Bakers for watching me while I was in Oklahoma!

Sara, Charlotte, Sebastian, and Me

Daddy and Mommy have to work this week, so Papa and Grams took me to Oklahoma. Uncle Mark and Aunt Karen were visiting Uncle Rusty and Aunt Nicky, so I got to see their twins, Charlotte and Sebastian. They will be one year old on August 7th.


Papa is trying to keep all of us together on one side of the table.


Charlotte had a really cool toy that I wanted.


Who will get the toy? I think it will be a toss-up.


I love having so many kids my size around!


The cousins on the couch. It's hard to believe I'm the baby of the group!


Finally, some alone time! Just kidding, we had a wonderful time with all the kiddos!

At the Beach with the Bakers

We had a great time at the beach. Daddy and the kids built a Southwest sand plane.


Emma kept me company while they worked on the plane.


Papa took me out in the water to wash off the sand.


Looking for the next big wave...


The wild bunch on the boards.


Daddy let me ride the waves. This one was a little too big to suit Mommy, but I didn't mind one bit.


Daddy and I have so much fun together. I am fearless.

Adventure Island

Later that afternoon, we went to Adventure Island. Here's Emma playing in the wave pool.


Steven standing still for a brief moment so Mommy could take his picture. He loved it!


Daddy took me into the wave pool, too! It was awesome!

Busch Gardens

We have had a big week. Papa, Grams, Emma, and Steven came down to Florida with us. We went to Aquatica yesterday. Today we went to Busch Gardens in Tampa. Daddy and me on the gondola.


I'm gonna be a dare devil. I wasn't scared a bit to be up so high!


Us in the gorilla exhibit.

Happy 4th of July!

Everyone had a great time shooting off fireworks in Papa and Grams' backyard. Papa kept Sara on his shoulders so she didn't get into the fireworks.


Tyler and Steven lighting smoke bombs.


Kaelly posing with her yellow smoke bomb.


They set off tons of bottle rockets. One of them set Papa's hill on fire! Papa and Daddy had to drag the water hose down there and put it out.


Since Sara and I are still too little to set off fireworks, we decided to take a nap together.


Later that night, we went down to Uncle Duck's for the big family party. When we got down there, Daddy volunteered Mommy and him to be a part of the fireworks finale. Grams wasn't too happy about that. A couple of years ago, Uncle Rusty fell off of a ladder during the finale. Here I am sitting with Aunt Nan.


I was so good. I spent the majority of the night hanging out in Becca's lap. The fireworks didn't bother me at all!!
