Haircuts

We finally did it! The Kruis girls got haircuts that were so needed! They must have taken off at least 6 inches from Claire and Gracie only got a trim. This was Gracie's first haircut ever and she seemed to enjoy it.

Grace is 4

My sweet Gracie turned 4 in August and she requested a pink sleeping beauty cake and pancakes for dinner. We started off our day by renting a movie, then getting french fries and frosted lemonades for lunch. Then we had pancakes for dinner, watched the movie she picked out, opened gifts and ate cake. She got an Elsa doll and black high heels from us. She was so excited about the high heels that she didn't take them off for a whole week and even slept with them at night. She has already mastered running in them.

Staying cool this summer

Wow, this summer went by fast so here are few pictures from our hot summer. We did lots of water activities this summer, the kids learned basic swimming, enough so we could have fun in the pool with all of them (without using any floaties). We enjoyed pools, the zoo splash pad, sundance square water fountains, sprinklers in the back yard, and much more.

Luke loves playing in the water
