Hailey recently got a new Tiana dress and she absolutely loves it!  She wanted me to take some pictures of her wearing her new dress.  I might be a little biased, but I think she’s the prettiest princess I’ve ever seen!

Hailey took 2 weeks for swimming lessons this summer.  Here are some pictures from her last day:

Last “Ring Around the Rosie” to get used to the water.  Hailey loved doing this!

Then it was time for one last time on the diving board.

Would Hailey be brave enough to do it?

Yes!

She did it!!

Yay!!
(She had actually done it a couple of other times that week too.  Once she tried it and realized it was a lot of fun she couldn’t get enough of it!)

Very proud of her certificate for completing swimming lessons!

July was a fun filled month but I didn’t really post many pictures.  Here are a few pictures of some of the fun things Hailey did.

Hailey attended a summer camp soccer program where she went to UPK.  It was a week long and she absolutely loved it!  On Friday we got to go and watch her play a game to see what she had learned during the week.

And her medal

Very proud of her trophy!

Rapunzel stopped by to play on the swing set…

…and have a little fun with the hula hoop.

At the end of July Hailey started a 2 week swimming lesson class:

In the big pool now, swimming all by herself (with a floaty on).

Going off the diving board- a little too scared to do it by herself.

This fawn has been running through our back yard since the end of June and I was finally able to get a picture.  So cute!

Day 2 of the 4th of July Extravaganza:

We started out with delicious omelets made by my Uncle Dave.

Hailey and Anika had fun splashing in the little pool.

Some of the decorations for the party.

Aunt Ruth made these- so cute!

Hailey loved the water slide.

Nothing funnier than a balloon making a tooting noise when you’re 4.

Day 3 of the 4th of July extravaganza:

More water slide fun.  (This time the water slide had been moved to a little bigger hill.)

Anika on the water slide.

Danielle didn’t want to try it at first, but once she did she loved it.

Later on we had a nice fire while we sat around and talked and sang.

The last day of the extravaganza as everyone was getting ready to leave- I had to get a picture of the 4 cousins who spent the whole weekend playing together.  They had so much fun!

The 4th of July Extravaganza was such a fun weekend!
