Niya's 2

This year we did a pretty low key party with just a few friends and family. I just didn't have it in me to out do last years party. It turned out perfect.

earlier that day for lunch we took nina to chuck e cheeses. That place is kinda  lame. I don't really even think she liked it that much. The part she liked the best was getting tickets out of the games

so since I'm sooooo behind on blogging as usual I'm just going to do a quick recap of the months i've missed so that maybe i can get back on the blogging bandwagon without feeling so overwhelmed. So here are a few fun things that happened in JUNE.

lake powell  of course

My mom gave niya 2 weeks of swimming lessons. She really hated it at first because the method is pretty hard core. She did really good though and was holding her breath really good by the end. She even started to kick and swing a little.

we went to Nadia's cowgirl birthday party. Niya loved the pony rides, and petting the animals, and especially being with her cousins
