Summer fun with Cousins

After Hayley's baptism on July 31st, we had family stick around for a few days and we had so much fun playing. We went to the beach (see previous post) but we also spent time swimming.



The kids loved having Uncle Ben & Aunt LeeAnna catapult them into the air before making a huge splash in the pool. I thought Jake was going to fly over my head once, he was so high!

We had a small family birthday party for Hayley when everyone was together & she got the surprise of her life from all her Uncles, Aunts & cousins - an American Girl doll! Hayley has been saving every penny for the last 2 years for one of these dolls. She was estactic.

Hayley loves her "Maddie" and is always fixing her hair or has her close by. Her cousins have told her all about the American Girl doll store in Dallas, and they can't wait to show her it the next time we visit. The girls were all so cute together. They had been hiding their dolls in their bags until Hayley opened her present & then they ran and pulled them out so they could all play together. So fun!

And you might not be aware, but apparently for a limited time only, there is a new, extremely rare doll out now...the "Trevor" American Boy doll! :)
