Pool Fun

Dan and I feel that the girls get cheated of some things because they are so close in age. We can't just easily go to story time at the library, take a walk in the neighborhood, go swimming, get a lot of one on one time....however as you can see, 95% of the time they are the best of friends and just have a blast being together.

First Corn on the Cob

Like I said this past week was just packed full of fun. Here are pictures of the girls' first time eating corn on the cob. Mia fell in love with it.

Fritz's and Ice Cream

Butde and Papa's stay was just loaded with summer fun. One night we went to dinner at Fritz's and then had Sheridan's custard. I don't know who had more fun at Fritz's, the girls or Papa. We couldn't get Papa out of the restaurant. He was just fascinated by the trains.

And Brianna had her first hotdog and loved it!

Papa's Box

All three girls got into the action of helping papa build their new sandbox. Yes, those are nails in Hadley's hands. It is amazing how the third child can do just about whatever they want.

Summer...Oh to be a kid again!!!

Planning the Site

Butde and Papa are here for 10 days to visit, see the new house and rebuild the sandbox. Yep! Isn't that unbelievable. Papa labored for a week just one year ago building us the most amazing sandbox and water station ever and here he is again rebuilding it. Thankfully we brought the water spicket with us to save a little on that labor.

But here is the most adorable picture of Papa and Brianna. Bri woke up early from her nap and so her daddy just put shoes and a hat on her and sent her outside. No shorts on either. Still in her pullup from her nap, she just walked out and down the deck and went over and stood next to Papa like this. They were both surveying the site for the new sandbox. We watched her stand there with him for a while and then she came back and walked up the deck and said "Mommy, Papa isn't talking to me". We just died laughing.

Best Buds

Here is Hadley and her best bud, her cousin, Brooke. Brooke has spent a lot of time at our house lately because her amazing mother, aunt Jaira, has been doing a ton of tiling for us on the house.

My sister, Jaira is just amazing. She is 21+ weeks pregnant but drove two hours this past Friday night with a demanding 20 month old in the car. (That alone is no small feat). Tiled my kitchen backsplash until midnight on Friday night and then got up Saturday morning and tiled from 5am until 7:30 pm. I think she maybe took two 20 minute breaks to eat some food.

And the tile job looks better than a professional would do. It is amazing!!!
