Fun Family Friday and SUPER busy Saturday

Haha...how cheesy is THAT title? I couldn't think of anything else! So Friday Chip has the day off. This does NOT happen often : ) That morning we just had a relaxing time around the house. We decided to go over to his Grandma and Grandpa Brown's house in the afternoon to swim. Kenzie loves the water and lately has a new trick of "jumping in" (sitting on the edge and falling in to us). She does great and totally loves going under water! Here are some pictures of our fun time in the pool.









On Friday night after dinner, we invited Chip's parents over to play games. They came over around 8 and brought Dairy Queen with them : ) MMMMM! We played Settlers of Catan, completely expecting Chip to win like usual. BUT....I WON! Yay : ) I was really excited.

Saturday, we had a REALLY busy day. Chip had to be at work at 8am, which meant leaving at 7:30am. This doesn't happen often. But it helped us get our day moving. Kenzie had breakfast and played for awhile. I tried to lay her down for her morning nap early, because we were supposed to be at a baby shower at 11am, which meant she needed to be up by 10:30. I laid her down at 9:15, but of course she wasn't tired enough to go to sleep. So she didn't fall asleep for an hour. Soo....at that point I decided we'd be late to the shower. I let her sleep until 11 and then we got up and rushed out the door. We got to Christen's baby shower around 11:30 and enjoyed some yummy food, fun games, and a great time celebrating the upcoming arrival of Baby Evelyn. She is due 2 weeks before me, so we have fun comparing belly sizes and feeling sorry for each other being so hugely pregnant in the HOT HOT weather.


We left the shower at about 1:40pm and got home a little after 2. Kenzie was ready for a nap, especially since she had only gotten a 45 minute morning nap, which meant getting to our NEXT event late as well. We were supposed to be at a BBQ/pool party for our small group at 3, but I let Kenzie sleep for another 45 minutes and didn't wake her up until 3. We got to the BBQ at about 3:45 and got RIGHT into the pool. It was HOT outside! Chip had to work until 4, but was able to get there around 4:20. Kenzie LOVED swimming with friends and as you can see below, she REALLY enjoyed her hot dog with ketchup!

Mmm....loved the good food!

More "jumping in"

The Frahm's....Amy, Riley, and Brian. A RARE smile from Riley while IN the water...she likes to sit on the side with her feet in : )


Kenzie playing with Jack.


They were both trying to smile at the camera.... but I had them looking into the sun.


Geoff was really excited to get some food after his crazy ping-pong tourney.

Brett and Audrey hosted the BBQ at their neighborhood pool and everyone was able to come! We had such a great time. Lots of good food, cool water, and catching up was done (we haven't been meeting over the summer). Thanks for everything guys!
