Summer Fun!!!

WOOHOO! Only ONE week left of summer school! Even though we're not quite on summer vacation yet, we've been trying to take Jaclyn out a lot more lately. The picture above is from my parents' house. We went to visit for Father's Day. Jaclyn had a blast running around on the ranch! She especially liked playing with/smelling all of Grandma's plants.
This past weekend, we went to visit Auntie Janell for her birthday. Janell just got back from Disneyland and brought back a couple of presents for Jaclyn. She got a REAL Tinkerbell Baby Doll, and this Speedo swimsuit with a built-in life jacket. It looks a little funny, but is great security for her in the pool! She adjusted to it pretty quickly and was able to have a lot more freedom when we went swimming because of it. Saturday was definitely a great day; we had a lot of fun!!!!

Like I said before, A LOT more freedom!!! Check out this HUGE waterslide Jaclyn was able to slide down by herself!

Well, kinda by herself. Even with the built-in flotation, Mommy was still a little nervous.

Jaclyn had fun chasing Bella around too!

She even got to play with Ashtyn and Brooklyn for a little bit. They were so cute! They were taking turns playing Mommy with Jaclyn.

Sunday (today) Daddy decided to take us to Stinson Beach. We went before when Jaclyn was really little, but it was a lot more fun on this trip! Jaclyn really enjoyed playing in the sand!

Jaclyn got a little nervous getting close to the water, so was a bit clingy with Daddy.

This made for some really cute pictures though: This one's probably my favorite!

Notice how she's still reaching out for her Daddy!

Here she is trying to walk on the sand. She was making the funniest noises as she tried to make her way from Mommy to Daddy.

We soon got tired of trying to walk in the sand, so decided to sit and play in it. She was completely infatuated with the sand for close to half an hour!

Today was a lot of fun! We can't wait for our summer vacation to actually begin next week! Below are some videos from some of the activities I posted above for you to enjoy:

Here's Jaclyn pulling her wagon with Auntie Erin.

This video is a little long, but hilarious! You have to wait for the end though!

Here's Jaclyn blowing kisses.

Summer BBQ!

We had a great time this last weekend getting together with some of our friends from work for a BBQ. There's a bunch of us teaching summer school together, so we decided a summer BBQ would at least make it feel like summer, even though we are all still at work. ;o( Jaclyn had a blast and even went swimming for her first time this summer. I, of course, forgot to bring a camera, but fortunately, Heidi took a ton of really cute pictures of Jaclyn for me to share.

Enjoy!
Daddy's Girl?

I'm not quite sure what I'm doing in this shot, but look at those cute little feet!

Jaclyn was walking all over the place and was actually quite social with a bunch of people she doesn't see very often. She sat in people's laps and had plenty of smiles and waves for all the boys at the party; I don't know where she gets that from!

This is kinda a new thing that makes Daddy very nervous...

...but she thinks its hilarious!!!

Unfortunately, we didn't get a full group shot of everyone, but here's Mommy, Cristina and Lilly at the pool. We had a great time! What a way to kick off the summer!
