Mom and Ans riding the airplanes. I went with her because I thought she would flip out once they started. .

But she loved them!

Ready to fly!

Swimming in the Pool with Juju

The girls love thier Juju!

Ansley is swimming with her nose in the water!

And, she is so proud she can swim with her face underwater too!

Loving each other (at the moment)

Enjoying the hot tub!

Kylie is not a fan of the hot tub, but got in briefly to give me a smile. . .

Ansley loves the hot tub!

Ans and Juju

Oh no!

Showering Juju with slobbery kisses!

You better watch out, Kylie doesn't like to wait!

Look, no hands!

Kylie is quick!

Our little minnow!

She LOVES jumping in the water, over and over. . .

Yay, Ans! You have come along way in the water :-)!

Here are the pictures of the girls and Juju in the pool late on Monday afternoon while the Daddys were grilling. I was the person behind the camera trying to catch these moments. Thank goodness for a quick camera! My girls amazing made lots of new accomplishments in the pool this week. Kylie jumps in by herself even if you are not there to catch her. Its kind of a scary thought! Ansley has started jumping in by herself. . .going from holding on to you with 2 hands, then with 1 hand, no hands! She has also started going underwater by herself, and putting her face and nose in the water and swimming by herself. She is definitely a little more cautious than Kylie, so these were BIG deals for her! Thanks Juju for being a good sport. Your face is priceless in these pictures-ha!

Burying Daddy in the sand

Keep digging!

Kylie is helping too!

Are we done yet??

We did it! Daddy is buried in the sand!

We enjoyed another beautiful and oil-free day at the beach! My girls were both SO brave this year and ventured a long way out into the ocean. They loved playing in it, even despite some icky seaweed floating around in the water. They would toss it aside and keep swimming. What a difference from last year!! Kylie is fearless but Ansley definitely has come to love splashing in the waves! She even remembers how scared she was last year. One year ago, she wouldn't touch the water w/out panicing. She was so afraid the boats in the water were going to hit her daddy. Now, she doesn't even seem to notice anything else in the water. Kylie didn't seem to mind the splashing salt water. It would catch her breath, she would rub her eyes, sputter the water out, and keep on going! The ocean has been more fun this year than before!

We played in the pool for most of the afternoon. The girls are really enjoying the pool too! We have a small little ledge that borders our pool that the girls love jumping off of and into the water. Kylie is too funny. She is 2 and let me reiterate again, totally fearless. She counts, "1, 2, 3, (3 claps) and then jumps. Ansley has started going underwater and holding her breath. Yay Ansley. This is something new for her and we are so proud and so is she! That is a scary thing to do. I remember how scared I was the first time I went underwater by myself.

And then it was naptime! The girls slept so hard after a fun filled day.

Our friends, Pati and Chas and their girls , and Brannon and Becky and their daughter Elliot are all down here right now so we went and had dinner at Hammerhead Freds. The girls were so cute! They all got thier own booth at the restaurant and loved it! As we all enjoyed the company! Although, I am not real sure the waiter loved our crew and our noise-ha! It was still fun!

We ended the night with Dippin Dots-yum! Both my girls made a "happy bowl" and enjoyed every bite!We are loving this trip!
