Recent photos

So I figured I should post a few more recent pictures of the girls...  Love these of Lena:)  Here are her before and after shots:)  I wanted to try out my new camera so I got my little model ready and we headed to the park for some nature shots.  I know I know I am NOT a good photographer:(

Yesturday we played HARD outside.  While I was weeding our HORRIBLY over grown with weeds flowe beds, the girls got to play in their little blow up pool...after a while I thought we should spruce up the play a little so I told Piper and Bailey to get out of the pool and I was going to move it over to the bottom of the slide.  Piper, being the little debbie douter that she is at times (why change a good thing right?), was questioning my logic but I just kept telling her "it will be fun I promise."  So with the pool at the bottom of the slide and the hose on top of the side - Voila!  We created a perfect back yard water park!  They loved it and after a little bit I heard Piper say to Bailey in a very amazed and 'i can't believe it' voice, "mom WAS right!  This IS fun!"  Yeah!  Every once in a while I have a good idea up my sleeve:)  Anyway, this is a shot of Piper at "rest time".  Pretty cute!  I guess our water park wore her out:)

 We set up the tents to kill some time before dad got home and thought we'd try Lena out in them... I don't think she liked it.

 Too bad she has sisters that MAKE her like it:)

 And my little tom-boy:0  I think she's going to be a keeper in Curtis's eyes;)  She just about cried on Saturday when I told her Curtis was going to go ride his motorcycle at the track and she couldn't go. 

 I'm thinking she gets to go next time...look at that form!!:)

My Favorite People:)

Summer's here!  And we are so excited to live it up!  We've started off the summer with a bang from going to the beach(not my favorite and probably won't happen again for a while:0), to swimming, making jam, going to the splash pad, bike riding, and LOTS of BBQ ing!  It's been a hoot and we are determined to live it up before Piper has to be boggled down with school:(  Here are some recent pics of my FAVORITE people!!

Little Miss Lena...a certain big sister who's name rhymes with Hyper thought she needed to get dressed up too.  Lena didn't mind until 5 seconds after she got the snow white dress on it was time to get on a new dress - then she decided it wasn't all that fun:)

Happy Dad's Day to the best daddy!  We had so much fun celebrating out dad last Sunday and I THINK Curtis had a good one (except for the "accident" Bailey had in her underwear...it involved smearing:) - I'm sorry but he just HAD to know how HORRIBLY potty training was going...after a week of such horror for ME, it ended Sunday!)  The girls LOVED making Curtis's presents this year...the 1st were crush bottles filled with treats that he got to take to work for snacks.  We had a real hoot making that one...I think we ate more than made it into the bottles;)  And their second gift is a picture frame with all of our hands cut out.  The girls were SO SO SO excited to give it to Curtis and then tell them whose each hand was - it was pretty cute.  Even after they had each gone through it and all of us had moved on Bailey ran back, grabbed it and I saw her sitting on the couch talking to herself, going through whose hands were whose.  Thank you pinterest!  We're so grateful for Curtis - he sets such a good example for the girls and they have so much fun with him!!  Thanks for being such a great dad!!

Munchkin #1.  Piper is SUCH a big helper!  And SOOOOO good with Lena!  I just love her to bits!

Munchkin #2.  Bailey is a little stinker and into everything but is constantly making me LAUGH!  Even when I'm pretty ticked, there's a giggle trying to escape because she is just that hillarious!

Our little "school" is going very slowly haha!  But we are still attempting to spend some time each week doing letters and activities.  This was for the letter D for...Dinosaurs!  I made "fossils" and the girls got to dig them up and the dinosaurs and then match them up.  It was fun.  I think I had more fun than they did:)  And then WE (yah no diet that day!) had Dino nuggets for lunch.  Bailey was highly concerned about having DINOSAUR nuggets but we warmed her up to it:)

Ok so again my crazy kid...it's like 100 degrees outside and she's wearing a sweater...go figure!

So there ya have it!  That's what we've been up to.  I'm sure there are so many more adventures to come!!!  like COLORADO! Whoot Whoot:)
