And there goes summer...

When we returned from our vacation, there was still plenty of fun to be had!

Julia's summer school class celebrating Dr. Seuss.


Last day of summer school celebration!


Natalie's favorite part of summer school was riding the bus!


Peter Rabbit at Wichita Children's Theater.


And we finally decided on a new couch! Before...


After - We love it!



So does Max.


Natalie and Julia goofing off.


Natalie's beautiful braid, thank to Kendra!



Visiting the dinosaurs at Exploration Place.





Dr. Natalie.


On a walk with Julia.


Goofing around with Pa Pa.


Julia with what they thought was chicken pox.





At the ER with Julia following up with the chicken pox.


The girls created a restaurant for Jeff and I. The did everything and it was so cute!


Beautiful wings from Mi Mi.


The girls at the movie Turbo!


Girls at the dentist. They did great!



Julia and Natalie found some snails outside and Jeff decided they should turn into pets!


Julia stayed all night with Mi Mi and this is what she looked like when I got her home at 10am. I think she partied a little hard!!


We love the new carts at Target!


Swimming fun! The girls are adorable in goggles.


Finally got brave enough to use the underwater case for my camera! Sure glad I did, these are hilarious!





Poor Natalie always finds an interesting way to hurt herself. Here is her ear after running into the door chasing Max. I think it is safe to say that Max won this one.



We went the our neighbors to Botanica and had a great time! Here we are making wind socks.



And Julia found a huge snail for her snail collection. She was so excited. She named him Big Guy.



Julia with her gymnastics teacher on her last class for the summer session.

Playing video games at Mi Mi's on a rainy day.



Bowling at Braden's birthday party!





And we are slowly, but surely trying to ride our bikes without training wheels!




Celebrating Emily's 5th birthday!




The girls dancing!


And we lost our sweet bird Cinderella. The girls were so heartbroken. 


Flowers from Mi Mi.


Burying Cinderella.



Painting the grave marker.

Hanging out with friends at the neighborhood park.




Yippe!! Pink donuts!


And because we didn't want Tinkerbell to be sad, we bought him a friend, Belle.


Julia's new glo fish.




Julia came down with Hand, Foot and Mouth. Poor thing was so sick.


Natalie reading to Julia


Julia found this horse stall at Target and fell in love with it.


Daddy and Natalie, the night before kindergarten!





Jeff figured out a way to get the imprint off of the cement at our old house, it was such a sweet gesture!


Fun in the photo booth at Collegiate!




Natalie at the eye doctor!


A late swim on a Sunday night. Julia was taking photos of Natalie diving for bouncy balls.




I love this photo of Natalie and Suzanne!


 Natalie also joined Abbie at her school skating party. It was the first time Julia had been. They all did great!









And here it is, Natalie's first day of kindergarten. I can't believe how fast she is growing!











And Julia's first day of preschool! Wow!









My girls heading into school together. So sweet!




Puppy Love!

We just love our pup!
