California Vacation Day 12: Raging Waters

Thursday was jump back into play day! 

We decided to hit Raging Waters from open to close! 

James was kind of nervous of all the water when we 1st got there, so chilled with mom and slowly got his feet wet while sister did all of the obstacle courses

She was really good at them... I being so nonathletic was super impressed

Once little man got a swim vest he was off and running 

and swimming

We played as a family for awhile

Then when James and I were ready to rest we stopped for lunch before daddy and sister left us to hit all the slides! 

and we played in the shade 

the took a walk before kicking back for a pre-nap show

Once little man was asleep I walked around to watch Jenna and daddy have their fun while I enjoyed some yummy dip n dots :)

I truly love watching these to have fun together!

Then when Jim woke up we hit the pool one last time before they closed! 

Needless to say it was a fun day!

A wonderful end to May!

This last week was a special one for the Reece Family!

Jenna had her last day of 2nd grade

Michael and I celebrated 5 years of Marriage, and some exciting news for our future! 

Then Sunday we had James dedicated to the Lord at Church

It is my deepest desire that all of my children grow up to be not just good Christian people, but ones who have a deep loving relationship with our lord Jesus Christ!

After his dedication we had a family BBQ. It brings me so much joy to see how loved my sweet boy is!

But Jesus called the children to him and said, "Let the little children come to me,
 and do not hinder them, for the kingdom of God belongs to such as these".
Luke 18:16

Happy Birthday Thing 1 and Happy Memorial Day Everyone!!

Happy Birthday to our growing way too fast boy Kade!!

I love Birthdays! More specifically I love my kids birthdays! Celebrating my loves brings me so much joy I don't know how to explain it!

Kade is such a great kid and I truly feel blessed to be his other mom!

I can't imagine my life without him in it, and I look forward to seeing the man he becomes!

 

For his birthday he asked for a birthday party at Roaring Springs!

To surprise him he got RS passes instead... and we celebrated there!

We also got him a new Full size bed with a lockers to go with his football field room

 

The weekend we had him for his birthday was too cold for swimming, so we went made other plans!

 

Kade and dad went to explore some caves, and have boy time in the morning!

He pretended to be a bat of course lol

Then we went to Jump Time with friends in the afternoon

And to Big Al's with Grandpa Scott for dinner!

The next weekend we had a family BBQ after church, and Kade got spoiled with lots of stuff including a new trampoline!

 

Then on Memorial Day we went to the water park finally for our 1st of many trips this summer!

It was James's 1st trip! He loved it!

He liked just riding in his stroller to watch big brother and sister go down all the slides!

And took a super long nap!

 

Jenna went on double trouble the slide that she has been afraid of for the 1st time!



And Kade got to pick what we did at the park all day!

We ended the day with Kade's Favorite snack (Birthday Cake Dip n Dots)





A fun 3 day weekend to end my 2nd trimester!

 We got Kade back this weekend, so it was time to celebrate his birthday in style. We spent Saturday from open to close at Roaring Springs with friends!
It was a great day to go, because there was no crowd which meant the kids could go on all the rides over and over again with no line! Baby and I were mostly excited for the snow cone shack :)

After the water park we went back home for pizza, rainbow cake, ice cream, and presents! 

Kade got a new bright green bike and helmet! 

Sunday after church we went to settlers park for lunch with Grandma Sue and Auntie Mandi!

 Then we headed to Auntie Grace's Graduation party at my parent's house where the kids had fun roasting marshmallows and playing in the fire! 

Congrat and Happy Birthday little sis we are proud of you! 

Today we had a relaxing morning at home, and talked to the kids about why we celebrate Memorial Day! This evening Kade is having dinner with his grandma to celebrate his birthday with her seeing he doesn't get to spend the day with her like Jenna does every Monday this summer while Mike, Jenna and I finished our registry at Target and got the baby a snow cone :) 

Here is the link to our Target Registry 

Now I am watching Mike and Jenna do their nightly summer basketball drills, and loving this sunshine!

I want to take a moment to thank all who have served our country and sacrificed at all, so that I could have fun times in a Free Christian County with family! 

Thank you!
