The 4th

Here are the girls, in all their patriotic cuteness, at one of the parades we watched this summer.





If you see this Elisha....Thank you for teaching me how to sew these outfits!

Keeping Cool

Whoever invented sprinklers under the trampoline is a genius.




If you have kids, you'd understand

Ryan and I lifted up the backseat in the Jeep and started laughing our heads off. We weren't expecting such a mess from two little kids. There was probably half a dozen different kinds of cereal, Easter candy, valentines candy, Halloween candy, wrappers, little toys, hair accessories, crayons, chips, crackers...and more. I don't know how they shoved it all down there. Speaking of car messes, my favorite is the melted and then dried on tootsie roll permanently stuck to the door handle.

Princess Birthday

The girls turned 4!!! And somehow they convinced me throw a princess party. I don't really want to take credit for making these "lovely" cakes, but I don't know who to blame them on. haha. All I'm going to say is that they're harder to make than they look.




This is Elijah, One of Lola and Ava's best friends. When he got to the party he came in holding the presents that he had picked out for the girls. He said, holding out one of the presents, "Which one of you is Lola?". Even though they are best friends and he thinks he's going to marry Ava, he still can't tell them apart.



Through the Eyes of Ava

Ava was begging to use the camera the other day, so I let her because Lola was sleeping. She's a better photographer than I am. She gets all the credit for these pictures, I didn't help her one bit.







200th Post

Check out out what Lola and Ava were doing 100 posts ago HERE. I was waiting for something really exciting to put up for my 200th post, but nothing was happening. I decided to do a comparison. This is what the girls are up to now. Quite the opposite of going wild.

(This is a terrible picture, I know. It's really hard to take a picture when the room is dark and you're looking directly at a bright window.)
