Spaghetti and Applesauce

You know how some kids don't like to get their hands messy. Well, I do not have a child like that. I guess this is why our kitchen is always such a mess!

Avery trying to eat with a spoon.

A spoon just was not working, so she tried eating applesauce with her hands!

That didn't work either.

Happy Birthday Allie!!!

Well, Allie turned 4 this weekend. I can't believe she is 4. It seems like the time passes so quickly. It is hard to remember our life before her. What did we do? She has been such a blessing in our lives and I am so thankful for her. We had a princess party at our house. The girls dressed up like princesses. They were so cute. I wish I had better pictures, but they were not into picture taking (especially Allie!). Allie had a great time. She had on a princess dress, jewelry and shoes, but she changed about half way through the party.








Avery and Nana

Sisters

The other day I came in the living room and this is what the girls were doing. Allie really is a great big sister. She is always taking care of Avery and gets mad at us if we tell Avery "no". I hope they will always be close.

Fun Weekend!

Well, Allie had a great weekend and we did also. We all went swimming Saturday. Allie swam a little without her life jacket and Avery loved the water sprinklers. Then, Sunday was our cousin Emily's birthday party. She and Allie are four days apart in age. Allie loves to play with Emily. The party was at Build A Bear and the kids had so much fun!


Look at Avery in her little boat. She hates that thing
and I don't know why! Allie loves for us to throw her.

Swimming!

We went to the pool yesterday. (Can't do anything else outside, because it is so hot) Allie swam without her life jacket for the first time. Well, actually it was a combination of drowning and swimming, but we are counting it as swimming. I was very proud of her for trying it. She has made a lot of progress this summer. The pool was so warm, because it has been so hot. I am ready for fall!!!!

Happy Birthday Mom!

A few weekends ago all my family went to Alabama to surprise my mom for her birthday. We had a great time and so did she. She was very surprised.

Allie wanted to wear her Power Ranger costume. I went back in the house after loading them up in the car and this is what Allie looked like when I came back to the car. I guess it was just in case we met any bad guys on the way to Alabama!

Playtime

Allie pushing Avery in her doll stoller. Avery loves it!


Allie is really into power rangers these days.
