Summer Fun

Julia got this roll-along for her birthday and she is just figuring out how to use it. She gets really angry when she runs it into something and has to walk backwards. It is pretty funny. As you can see by her face, she thinks it is pretty fantastic. Thanks Marty!

MiMi always comes up with the best ideas.

This morning was so nice we headed to the park bright and early before it got hot. This was Julia's first real time at the park and she thought it was a great place to be. She jumped right in there with the big girls.

Here is one of Julia's first trips down the slide.

Not to be outdone by the girls, Ethan had to take his turn.

We went to the pool the other day and once again it was a hit.

We took Aunt Suzanne out for her birthday and Natalie was kind enough to help feed Julia some of her coconut yogurt. What a great big sister.

 

Fourth of July was one of the best memories for our family. It won't be the same without my Grandparents. So, my Aunt had a great idea to make some t-shirts in memory of them. This is what they will look like. I thought they turned out pretty great.

 

I found this cute dress at Kohl's and added Natalie's name to it for her to wear on the fourth. Of course, because it is a dress. She loves it.

Nothing Special

We have been busy as summer is kicking into high gear, but not really doing anything super special.

The other night we gave Julia her very first chocolate ice cream bar. Sure, it was made with coconut milk, but she still enjoyed it!

I am in love with my new sewing machine and decided to adorn the swimsuit cover-up's. Natalie's got a Tinkerbell and Julia's got flip-flops. I think they turned out really cute!

My sassy girl. She should be a model.

 

As always, Julia is all about climbing. Now, she loves to take the stool and reach things she couldn't reach before!

And she still doesn't understand that the little items (wagons and strollers) are made for baby dolls, bot Julia's.

Natalie and her friends have their own ride on toys and Julia always wants to join in. I got her this little ride on at Target and she is just crazy about it. I put it under the cart and when she saw it she had to have it. She sat on it every time we stopped. She cracks me up!

Pretty sure there is nothing cuter than a baby sleeping with their butt in the air!

Today was a beautiful day so we decided to take out for the zoo!

Here the girls are at the end of the outing, hot and tired!

They are so cute! This is right before Julia fell down and scraped her knee.

I took Natalie and Abbie to feed the giraffes and when I got back Julia acted like she wanted to go. I took her up there and she was such a big girl!! She did it the first time and kind of screeched because she was scared. She let me feed the giraffe one more time and then she wanted to. I let her have the leaf and she gave it to the giraffe and just laughed! 

This was the first time that she really saw the tigers too. She thought they were great, but really loved the little boy who was having snacks in a stroller that was close by.

Emily brought yummy cookies for the big girls!

Friday Jeff to Natalie to Don's to stay the night. They had a great time and on Saturday met Suzanne for breakfast. After that they ran to the mall and helped Natalie make a bear at Build a Bear workshop. As you can see from the photos amd videos that Aunt Suzanne took, she had a great time.

Here are a coupke of videos of the fun filled day!

Father's Day

I had some photos taken of the girls for Father's Day and they turned out too cute! Since their Grandpa's are all ranchers, I thought the tractor would be too cute! Mi Mi found these adorable dresses, they were perfect!!
