The Vasas Clan: 3 weeks of activities

I have been so busy these last couple of weeks between activities, birthdays, and trying to keep my yard mowed, with all the rain keeping it growing so fast, that I haven't had a chance to sit down to the computer and update my blog. So here are the last few weeks in a nut shell. The kids sure are having a fun summer. Macie is growing fast. She sure is into really a lot of things. She is a little more mischievous than I remember Carter being. It seems like Carter has grown up really a lot in the last little while too. He is such a good helper and he watches out for his baby sister. They really love each other. Carter is staying busy. Dave and I think it is good for him to be involved in something at least once a week. For the next couple of weeks he is in swimming lessons and then I am going to look into starting him in tumbling. Dave is getting anxious for school to start. He is so excited. He has been working really hard to get everything all ready and he has been working really hard at his job to keep a good commission based pay check coming in for his family. He is not looking forward to how busy he will be on the 4th of July but we are looking forward to the paycheck it will hopefully produce. He sure is excited and needing our upcoming 1 WHOLE WEEK vacation. I am so excited that Dave was able to take the entire week off. It will be really nice to spend that time with him. And he is going to love being with the kids so much. I am tired but doing well. My yard sure is coming around. I love working in it. I was able to get the grass grown in the back yard and my flowers are doing really well. Tux is doing good. He needs a hair cut. Hopefully we can get him in before the 4th of july. I would like to take him to the parade but we will see. I took Macie to the doctor today for a weight check and she is 20lbs 7oz. She is still so little. The doctor is going to take a look at her growth and call me back. She only gained 1lb in 2 months. I don't know if that is enough. I hope so. Father's Day was fun. We went to my parents house for the day and had a cook out. The kids had fun seeing their cousins and playing all day. After everyone left Dave and I stayed and played Canasta until 11pm with my parents. Dave and my Dad beat us everytime. It is so frustrating. My dad doesn't even remember how to play from time to time. But it was fun none the less. The kids had fun giving their daddy his present that morning. They each gave him a golf certificate. It has become a Father's Day tradition. Today was fun. My parents were watching Collin and Sarah so my sister and I went to my parents house for the day and let the kids play. They baked cookies, swam in the hot tub, rode the 4 wheelers on the dirt trails behind the house, ate a million popsicles, and played in the play house. They had fun. I however am exhausted so goodnight.

Macie's 1st ICE CREAM CONE!!! She loved it.

Swimming Lessons

Carter is taking his 1st set of swimming lessons. He loves them. I think they are helping him to not be as nervous in the water. It is great.

A Hot Day!

Macie and Carter spending a hot day in the sprinkler.

Happy Birthday Tiffany!

We went to the Zoo for my sister's birthday. The kids had a lot of fun.

They were able to feed the goats. Macie kept laughing every time they would eat the food out of Kailey's hand.

Macie loved looking at the Zebra's. She thought they were very interesting. She liked laughing at them too.

Carter had fun riding the tiger. In the picture it almost looks real.

Carter and Grandpa were eating an icy when all of a sudden a big peacock jumped up on the table next to them. It sure did startle my dad.

Happy 58th Birthday Dad!!!
