Saturday the 5th Quincy Arnold was baptized and then we went over to their house for swimming and tacos. We were one of the first ones there and so we got our girls in their suits and naturally they were the first ones in the pool :) Olivia was excited to play with Nala their youngest of their labs. She remembers playing with her. So she was in the pool playing with her right away. Nala had dropped the ball into the pool and Olivia went down to get it. She dove down to the bottom of their pool (the deep end) I later asked McCall how deep their pool was. 12feet deep! Holt Moly! Yep she is a Mermaid! And as we were leaving Brian commented how impressed he was with her swimming. That he saw her dive for something, on her way up and then saw something else on the bottom of the pool and turned and went back down to get it without coming up for a breath. Ya. She has an unnatural talent of swimming I think. I know it wasn't just me teaching her to swim. This is one of her talents. Definitely. I had set it up to have Keira over for me to do her hair a second time and had totally forgotten about it until we were on our way home and Brian mentions... Didnt you have Keira coming over? Ahhh!! I quickly look at my phone and she had called twice and texted me too. Luckily she just went to petersons to kill time :) she brought a friend over with her. His name was Matt and he was Polynesian. Cute guy. And wasn't sure if he was just a friend or what but that didn't matter. We hung out and had a great time together. Somehow the way she spelled her name came up in conversation and Matt admitted that he didn't actually know how to spell her name correctly. She then blurted out really! EI! and then Brian said ei ei o! Oh no! We all started laughing so hard. Ei ei o and on Keira farm she has a.... And then Matt holds up the old Mc Donald toy I had out that needed batteries replaced. And we were all rollin. I was crying. So so funny! Nope we will never forget how to spell Keiras name.

Lanaya turned 3! Time flew. It's so interesting to watch how much they change I  the last couple months before their birthday. It's like a switch is going on inside them and all of a sudden they are saying and doing things they weren't just a few weeks before. Her birthday happened to land on labor day this year, so daddy was home from  work. That was nice. We started the morning off with balloons in her crib and then off to get doughnuts. I wanted Savoy, but after getting cash and driving over there, they took the liberty of closing for the holiday :/ I was really bummed. But oh well. Petersons it is. Then we all got ready for chuck e cheese! Grandma and Steve were going to meet us there as soon as they opened. We get into the car and Brian reaches down into the car door and says were is my wallet? What? I don't know... He says I left it here in the door.. Not I didn't move it. Then he goes up stairs and looks and comes back down. I know I left it here in the car. We need to go retrace everywhere you went this morning.. Then it dawns on me. Our car had been broken into the night before. I had walked up to the car and noticed that the drivers dude door wasn't closed all the way and I thought... Great. The car wasn't locked all night. Didn't think anything of it. Then the stuff from the glove box was out... Just  thought Brian had been looking for something. Didn't think anything of it. It just  isn't my first thing to think of. .. The worst thing to happen that is. .. No alarms went off in my simple mommy brain I guess...and I guess that should change for me to be better aware of things and to protect my family. But it didn't. And it wasn't like Brian to leave his wallet in the car like that. And the one time he does... It gets stolen :( he reverses the car and parks it all irritated at me. And doesn't understand how I didn't realize what had happened. But to be quite honest. If he hadn't left his wallet in the car I really wouldn't have known. I had put everything back into the glove box and that was that. The girls didn't understand what was going on. All frustrated with us getting out of the car. We filed a police report online, put a stop on his card, and then got back into the car and went to Chuck E Cheese. Mom ended up meeting us there. That was a nice surprise. We had a lot of fun playing with the girls. Logan did his. . I'm going to refuse to eat thing. So he just didn't eat. I'm still trying to figure this baby out. So he went 6 hours between feeding.! We then went home for a nap for Melanie because Lanaya refused to take one. . She is in between the nap stage right now. Sometimes she'll take one and sometimes she won't. But when she doesn't Shea a wreck when  it's close to bed time. Hate it. But it is a process. And I get it. We then went swimming and she wanted spaghetti for dinner. But she was so tired and cranky she has such a pill during dinner time. But she is my precious Lanaya. Love her. Can't believe she's 3.and Facebook does that looking back thing. Pictures from last year's birthday, sweet Lanaya was wearing the same suit last year. I remember it was a little big. And is fitter her better now. But she is itty bitty :) like her Grammy.

Olivia has picked up the love of coloring in this past week. It's so cute. Without me saying Olivia why don't you go color for a bit.. She went over sat in front of the fan got out the hello kitty coloring book, the colored pencils and started to color. For an hour! And it was so good! Crazy! And then proceeded to do another and then take a few pencils with her into the car with the my little pony coloring book and do a page in that one too. I then gave her the big set of pencils, crayons, and markers that Lindsay and Nick got them for Christmas. You should have seen her face! She was so excited. So thankful. So cute! And she was been coloring everyday. It's wonderful to see her doing that. She loves it.

Uncle Peter was in town and wanted to take us out for dinner. With out the kids this time. But he still wanted to see them. :) so he came over and said hi. Lanaya ran up to him saying UNCLE PETER!! and gave him the biggest hug. Adorable. All on her own. Mom and dad came over to watch the girls and Peter took us to the Brig. Yumm! It was a great night out. Mom left their gifts for Lanaya because she didn't want to open then just yet..... And that was the case for the next 2 days. I finally had her open then Sunday night before bed. She loved them. It was so cute to see her face light up every book she opened.

Saturday was Lanayas birthday. We started it at 10am and even though it was a cooler day that the rest of the week had been it was still a warm 80° bright and early. It was fun. We had a lot of people here for the first couple hours and then everyone either had another party to go to, nap time, or something else.. But we stayed in the pool. Tracey didn't show up till almost noon and everyone left about then.. So we hung out. I knew sure the was still coming so we just stayed in the pool. And then our neighbors came in later. It was nice to do something so low key and not stress over little details. And to just play and have a good time together.... Not that you don't do that have you plan a nifty fanshy shanshy party.. Just it was nice. And cheap ;)

Monday morning Lanaya was playing as Brian and I were finishing getting ready and we here her call out Christine....  Christine... I just giggled and we start to pay attention to what is going on. And she is playing with Melanie and she is Christine... Haha so funny!
