Ally eating grapes...

These are still from our Las Vegas trip...

After eating the Popsicles the girls ate some grapes.
Swimming makes Ally really hungry, but I don't
think I have seen so many different faces just to eat
one grape. I know she was being silly and I love them all.

This last one is my favorite.

I love the lighting behind her
and yes it was a new grape.

Happy Tuesday ☺

More From Our Trip....

As promised I'm posting more pictures from our trip.
These are from the same night as the last post. I will
have a couple more posts with pictures from that night.
When all the pictures are so cute it's hard to only pick
a couple so I decided to make a few posts instead.

What could be better on a hot summer night than....



Popsicles...

As you can tell they both loved their Popsicle.
And the clean up was easy...play in the pool again.

Until the next post...
Happy Friday ☺

Our Trip to Las Vegas

We went to Las Vegas for the 4th of July to visit my mom, step-dad and sister.
We had a great time visiting and hanging out by the pool.
These pictures are from Thursday evening, July 2nd.

All of the kids swimming.


Aubrey waving Hi!


Bryce about to throw the balls at everyone.


Everyone waiting for Bryce to throw the balls.


Aunt Heather & Ally

Bryce again!

Aubrey doing what she does best in the pool.

Ashley chillin' on the steps.


Aubrey trying to get "Crush" out of the pool.

If you don't know who Nemo or Crush are
you should really watch Finding Nemo.
If you don't have it you should go for a ride in our
van because it has been playing 24/7 for months now.

I still have a lot more pictures I want to blog about
but this is it for now. I will try and blog more tomorrow.
I keep telling myself to blog but I don't seem to have time.
I will get more pictures up here then.

Happy Thursday ☺

Aubrey's 2 year pictures...

Finally we have Aubrey's 2 year pictures...only a month later.

I try really hard to be good about getting the kids pictures done
right around their birthday. This year with Aubrey it was harder.

She fell down on Mother's Day and scraped up her chin. Which was
the weekend before her birthday. So I didn't want to get her pictures
taken until it was all better. I called made an appointment at Target.
I had major issues with them this time. To make a long story

short I won't be going back there. I took her to JCPenney.

Here she is....

By the time we got to JCPenney Aubrey had

fell asleep in the van. I wasn't real sure how

she was going to do with taking her pictures.

She was a little fussy but you could never tell

by these super cute pictures of her.

I was really happy with JCPenney. They are

owned by Lifetouch just like Target. When I

told them all the trouble I had with Target they

went out of their way to make sure I was happy

with everything. I will be going there from now on.

Happy Friday ☺

Summer Fun...

*Warning this post contains a lot of pictures*

Saturday we let the kids go swimming for a while.

The scrapbooking mom that I am needed some

new swim pictures so... here are a some of them.

Remember it's a lot but not as many as I took.

Ashley

Bryce jumping into the pool.


Ally our little fish.


Now Aubrey is NOT a little fish. She doesn't want
to get in the pool at all, the first step is it for her.


Ally swimming without her vest on with the help of daddy.
I think she might be swimming by the end of summer.


Aubrey still on the first step, but she really likes these water toys.


Ally was swimming with this tube until she went to far
forward and flipped out of it. She did great she kicked
her feet and came up. Guy grabbed her and put her on the step.


I asked her if she was OK, so she's showing me that she was OK.


But she did ask if we would get her the smaller tube.
I think it's more her size.


Bryce's turn in the green tube.

Then Ashley's


Bryce being the boy that he is got the idea to jump into the tube.


Ashley and Bryce jumping into the pool again.


Ally wanted a turn too!

Now this is my favorite picture of the day....


She's so cute!

The joys of summer.
I know we will have many more days like this.
And we will enjoy each and every one of them.

Happy Tuesday☺

Make Me Smile...

At 6:20 a.m. the conversation in the kitchen went something like this....

Guy: What do you want for breakfast?

Ally: Cereal

Guy: OK here you go, sit down and eat.

Ally: Daddy I need something to make me smile.

Guy: What?

Ally: I need a big marshmallow it will make me smile.

Guy: It's to early for a marshmallow.

Ally: Daddy I said I need a big marshmallow it will make me smile.

Guy: I said it's to early you can have one later.

Ally: I said it two times and it will make me smile.

Guy: You're to cute!! You can have one this time but you need to eat your cereal.

Ally: Thank you with a big smile on her face.

This round goes to Ally! Some of the things she says lately cracks me up!

Happy Wednesday☺
