Updates!

So I'm sitting here Sunday afternoon while Sawyer naps. Ramon and Dakota left Saturday to go camping up at Edison with some friends from work. I opted out. Thought it would be nice for Daddy and "D" to have some father/daughter bonding. Dakota kept telling everyone, "I get to go camping...just daddy and me".
Thursday Sawyer had her 2 year appointment. She got a shot and didn't even make a sound. While we were there I had the Ped. check a bump on Dakota. After a quick look and exam she told me Dakota has a hernia and will need to have it repaired. I was like, "are you kidding me!?!" I was still stressed and anxious over the fact that we were going the next day to Valley Children's to hear the results of Dakota's vesicoureteral reflux. So Friday came and after a long wait we found out she has outgrown the reflux. We were so relieved!
Then there's the whole house buying/selling situation. Talk about STRESS! We're in the process of selling our home. It's in escrow and we have to be out in 45 days. So I'm waiting to hear back on a little place we're going to rent 'til our house is done being built and ready to move into. My days have been filled with appointments, filling out paperwork, inspectors, appraisers, etc. So I'll be glad when all of this is over. Don't get me wrong, I'll definitely miss our little home...it's just that opportunity presented itself at an unlikely or unexpected time. We knew we were going to take this step at sometime, its just that actually doing it is a little scary. I'm realizing I haven't even gotten emotional about it but I think that's because I've been so occupied with everything else. We have so many memories here.
I have a feeling that the rest of 2009 will go by very quickly for us!

Swim Lessons

The girls had private swim lessons last week through the city.
They were fun to watch! The first day Sawyer cried the whole 30 minutes, so Ramon got in with her the rest of the week. It was awesome to see their progression in just one week!
Sawyer loves the water. She can swim to us under water. She still needs to work on moving her arms and coming up for air. She looks like a little fish.
Dakota's swimming has definitely improved. She's becoming a stronger swimmer. She learned how to dive and to get rings from the pool floor. She's holding her breath a lot longer too.
Here's some cute pics of Sawyer watching Dakota. The last two days she had had it and ended her lessons about 15 minutes early.
Mommy had to get in the pool the last day. I couldn't take watching on the sidelines in the triple digit heat!

July isn't even over yet!

So far our July has been filled with some fun and busy events! Here's a few pics to share what's been going on!
We celebrated Sawyer's 2nd Bday a day early with family before we took off for our Coronado vacation!

We stopped by SeaWorld on our way to see "AB" and "T-Tam". Sawyer enjoyed celebrating her Birthday there with her sister and cousins.

Uncle "AB" and Sawyer share the same Birthday!

Sawyer got her first haircut or trimming of the bangs. Daddy said to make it look like those "Emo" kids wear their hair. I think he's trendier than mommy! She just sat there with this same expression the whole time.
Coronado's 4th of July Parade. It's right outside our hotel. The girls LOVED it!
We also celebrated Tia's 31st Bday!

We LOVE the beach. We were there almost everyday! The girls couldn't get enough!
Our vacation was a BLAST! We'll miss T-Tam and AB and our walks to and from their house but are so happy they're happy in Coronado. . .besides it's a great place to visit!

Here's looking forward to swim lessons and the start of our new home!
