4th of July!

For the 4th of July, we went to Canada!  We ALL went to Canada, and even took Nana and Papa with us.  It was Ella and Ty's second trip and Cort's first trip.  (Nana and Papa's first trip as well). 

It was a rather cool weekend considering it was July.  

 Patriotic shirts while in Canada :)


 Our Pontoon was adorned with a Canadian flag when we arrived, and Ella had brought her American flag!

Cort is 1!!

Cort turned 1!!

He seems excited about his birthday, and so does Ty!

Or maybe not...

Yeah, birthday cupcake!

Yummmmm, I want some!


And then he ate none...
 

Camping


Our first camping trip of the summer!  It is also the first camping trip for Ty and Cort!  Thankfully our (newly purchased used) pop-up is big enough to fit 2 pack-&-play's as well as a separate table and storage space.  


Once the boys were used to their sleeping arrangements, they slept really well at night!  Or maybe it was all the outdoor activity and decreased or lack of naps...




Cort has only been walking for a few weeks, but he handled the uneven ground at the campsite really well!

Rainy day at the museum with Eden, Ella, Ty and Cort!

T-ball and Gymnastics


Ella had her first try at t-ball this year!  She enjoyed fielding the ball the best!

 




A week later, she had her end of year show meet for gymnastics.  It was amazing to see how much she has learned and what she can do!!

Spring board to handstand


Uneven bars...  well, just the smaller one:)


Beam


Floor routine


And Ella's favorite part, the trophy!  


This is one proud mama!

Ella finished kindergarten and "graduated" to first grade!
She did her group presentation on cheetas and had a cute mask too!
