Friends and Fun!

After Emily's birthday Carrie had a little get together to get rid of all the left over food. She also had this activity for the kids where they dug around in rice that she had dyed blue for treasures, unfortunately the blue dye came off on the kids and the looked like smurfs!

Besties, Natalie and Emily.


Carrie, Joe and the girls came out to the ranch to hang out for a while. Here the older girls are playing while the rest of us were attempting to catch fish!



Julia just wouldn't give up. She stood there forever, letting me cast it and she would reel it in. She was so cute because she kept asking, "Dat fish Ma Ma?" I would have to tell her that it was just moss or sticks.


The girls hanging out on the truck with turkey feathers they found on their hunt.

Natalie and Emily getting ready for their first sleep over! They did great, except I had to sit on the end of the bed to get them to quit talking so they would sleep! Silly girls. Seems like just yesterday I remember my mom doing the same thing!


Yea for donuts!!



Of course it rained the second day they came, we needed it, but geez, it could have been any other day!!!


Julia was so excited that Emily and Chloe brought out her Minnie Mouse Clubhouse and her cow!


Loaded up and ready to see some cows!


Casting it out for Julia.


This is how it looked most the time. Everyone but Julia clowning around!


We caught something!!


The kids even touched it. It was the biggest fish I have caught to date!

End of Summer Fun!


We went out to the ranch and this time caught some bigger fish!! It was lots of fun and it was great to spend some time with my cousin and her new fiance!



I know that I have mentioned before that Julia sleeps in her sunglasses, well, here is the proof.



The Couture's came over for dinner and Carrie brought cupcakes for the girls to decorate.




Natalie and Julie enjoying a little TV time before bed one night.




We celebrated Emily's 4th birthday mermaid style!

And now for some water fun!









I took the girls to a professional photographer here in town and these are my favorite photos. I think she did a great job!
 











And here are some random photos off my phone.

A day at the park!
 

This is how Julia shops with me. Found a tu-tu she wants to wear and book she wants to read...
