Our Cloey!

Just a little something I was working on for Cloey's Birthday, she is going to be three in about 3 weeks! We love her so much, I love taking pictures of her, she is such a little character! You should be able to click on the picture and get a better view of the collage!

Mac is Back!

So we had our Mac fixed and I finally got around to loading all those pictures I wanted to post so here is our whirlwind posting extravaganza! 

Lights, Camera, Action!

My cousin and ex-roomie called me up last week and invited me and the girls to Edwards Theater's free movie that they do every week. This week was The Tale of Despereaux. Megan, another college roomie (we actually shared a room, and had tons of fun!!!) came too! The kids had so much fun, there were parts that they were a bit scared of but over all it was fun, and it was my kids' first movie experience at a theater. It was nice to have the theater full of kids and noise, so you didn't feel self conscious about your kids if they were noisy too! After the movie we went to Becca's for lunch and to let the kids run around, and our 4th college roomie met us there. It has been such a long time since all 4 of us have hung out, we had a great time! Here are some pictures I took at the movies!

Autumn did such a good job, she actually slept for most of the movie! Luckily they didn't have the movie very loud!

Splish Splash...

So we have had our pool for 3 years now, and didn't get around to setting up at our house last year, but this year we pulled it out. It is 12 feet by about 36 inches deep. We have had a lot of fun already, and it has only been set up for about a week now. What is so great is that the girls can touch the bottom this year, Lily can easily touch and is very confident walking around and playing, but Cloey is more timid about the whole thing. The water comes up higher on her so she doesn't always like to be without her floating hippo! Lily also likes her floaties too. I have started to teaching the girls swimming lessons too, it is so fun to be able to help them learn something that Brian and I love! Brian also, being the amazingly smart guy he is, tied a rope to a tree behind the pool and attached a belt to the rope, so he and I can swim, it works really great, I think it is my favorite way to work out! Here are some picture from the other day of the family swimming. This was Autumn's first time in, and she wasn't quite sure about the whole thing!

When We're Helping We're Happy...

So I was at the store the other day and gave the girls the choice between getting some squash or some corn on the cob, because they were roughly the same price. Anyway, they both went for the corn. Later that night I started shucking the corn to cook it and Lily asked if she could help, so she started and then Cloey saw what we were doing and came and helped too! They had a lot of fun, so here are my girlies shucking corn! (They just got done swimming so that is why they look a little tired)

Summer Bike Ride!

We went bike riding with Brian's parents a few weeks ago and here are some pictures of the girls in their little bike trailers and in their cute little helmets. I think Autumn was a little confused with the helmet on but who can put a price on child safety...and it is super cute! We had fun biking the greenbelt and enjoying the river!

What a Good Daddy!

So every night we have family scripture reading, family prayer, then the girls do their personal prayer, and then Brian reads to the girls. It is a fun tradition that I hope will continue for a long time. I just had to get a picture of all three girls listening to their dad read them a bed time story! I am so glad that I met and had the honor of marrying the most sweet and wonderful man ever! I love him so much and know that our daughters are so blessed to have such a great dad!
