Oh what do we do in the Summertime....

Here are some of the things we've been up to this summer...

Eating Otter Pops outside under the trampoline

(I love these pictures)

Making Cookies- they LOVE to help

Wanting to help too!

I couldn't resist taking this picture... we played "bibbity bobbity boutique" (make up & painted nails) earlier in the day. She looks so SWEET sleeping.

Making 4th of July cakes & then not taking any other pictures that day :(

Trying new hair dos

Oh my....

These dandelions were SO HUGE! Paige spotted one on our walk. Then we found another one for Claire. Reese didn't appreciate them the same way... the girls thought they were perfect wands (until they wished them away). It was super bright outside- hence the look on Claire's face.

Finally!

Claire's hair is finally long enough to do fun things with! It's only taken a year for it to grow back out... I'm not complaining. Just so happy it's long & cute again.

I wish I would've taken a better picture from the side, because her hair was super cute. For the record, I was proud of myself for even taking a picture at all  =)

                This was Paige's famous haircut on Claire just over a year ago. This still makes me sad!

Get ready....

It's only been two months since I last posted anything.  Side photos have been updated thanks to a trip to JC Penny this morning. All three girls' were less than happy to be getting their picture taken....  the photographer was so PATIENT with them. I'll post the other pics later. I finally have all my pictures loaded onto the computer & sorted, so the next step is to post them to my blog. Stay tuned.....

Spring is finally here!

When I planted my first bulbs back in October, I could only hope I had done it the right way. Sure enough, six months later we have daffodils and tulips coming up out of the cold dirt. WOO HOOO- spring has sprung!

These daffodils are our neighbors... maybe next year ours will look like this 

Blossoms on the tree next door- impressed with the setting on my camera =)

More pictures to follow of the actual tulips that have bloomed.....

Short sleeves

Happy to see those little arms again!

Love the Sunshine!

It is so beautiful & warm today! I'm so far behind in my blogging (what's new), but I couldn't resist posting these pics today. While Paige was at school, I took the little girls for a walk to see our favorite swan 'Twinkle'. Claire is getting reacquainted with riding her bike & wearing flip flops again. I should've taken a picture of her poor legs. She keeps falling & tripping. Her poor little body just can't move as fast as her mind wants it to. She was having so much fun riding her bike & was loving the faster paced walk (and actually breaking a sweat). The pictures were taken with my phone prior to the bike fall(s). The whole way home Claire rode on top of the stroller (where the cupholder is) & I had to carry her bike (and then I really broke a sweat). We were a site to see! Still happy to be outside in 80 degree weather- absolutely loved it =)

Reese was her usual happy self & loves to be outside in the stroller

I love this picture of her pointing to the swan- She gets so excited & points to things she sees

If you remember last year's infamous haircut, you can appreciate (like me) that Claire's hair is almost long enough for braids =)

She likes to wear braids "like Paigey"
