Mommy's birthday and farm fun!

We had a very fun and very busy weekend! This first picture is Valerie in her carseat ready to go to the farm on Saturday, June 13th. Doesn't she look excited! I love her smile and joy! It was Dairy Days at the farm so they had a few extra fun things to do. However, we weren't interested in most of them. They had a cow milking demonstration and butter making that we passed on. Maybe when they are older. Valerie was most in awe of the chickens and roosters. She had no fear and kept trying to feed them. :)

We also had fun making macaroni necklaces and getting free cheese and crackers.

It was super hot, but the girls had fun on the hay bails.

We also got to pet these beautiful horses.

After the farm, we went to Jaylen's birthday party at the park. He had a clown at the party. Alot of kids were a little scared and hesitant, but not my girls. They both loved it. Here is Lily showing off the star that the clown put on her arm. The clown also made balloon animals.

Can you tell that Valerie wanted to be right up front by the clown? She loved Coco the clown!

Here are me and some of my girlfriends at the party: Kelly with Bristol, me, Tina, Amanda, and Jessica.

Then Sunday was my 27th birthday. We spent most of the day at my sister's community pool, tennis courts, bbq area, park, and boat dock. It was really fun and great to have everything all together. Lily spent a lot of the time practicing her swimming skills. Here she was using a noodle to help her float on her back. She was also doing it for about 3 seconds without the noodle.

Jason has the best time playing with our nephew's Jordan and Dylan. They played water football, squirting water, and I think water tag. Fun stuff!

Lily loved going on Uncle Casey's boat. He even let her help drive!

Lily and I then went tubing together. She loved it! She didn't let us go very fast, but she used her hand signals to say faster, slower, and stop.

The funny thing was that after her turn, I went by myself and Casey gave me a wild ride. So wild that I went flying off the tube and Lily FREAKED out as she watched. She thought they had killed me. She was yelling for me and I had to explain that I love to swim and that I wasn't scared or hurt.

Lily also loves jumping in the water. I would say she jumped to my mom probably 50 times. lol.

I had a great birthday. We also barbequed, had cake, and I got some great presents. I got a new pair of black sandals, a new pair of jeans, a gift card to Applebees, a bible, and a few other things. Very fun. Then Jason and I went shopping for just a few minutes and I bought the girls each some new shoes at the Children's place b/c they were 75% off!
