Audrey is 3 Years and 1 Month Old!

Things are wild and crazy busy around here but we wouldn't have it any other way.  Here's what's going on right now.


- My "lullaby" sung to me by Audrey. So funny!

- We got a Disney Princess edition of Candyland.... she was thrilled!

Look at those summer highlights- so beautiful!

- New Sophia the First jammies that she got from her friend "Big Lila" (as opposed to "Baby Lyla" who lives next door). :)

- One thing I don't love about this month- the absence of naps!  She has started falling asleep in the car and is FINISHED with her nap when we get to our destination, even if she only slept for a few minutes.  What?!?!

- Reading with sister at night-- this night was Pinkalicious!

- Yummy Tropical Moon fro-yo after school!

- Just hanging out in the morning before school.  She carries this blanket everywhere. <3 br="">

- My little divas.  So cute!

Audrey is 3 Years Old!

      We've spent the past few days celebrating Audrey's 3rd birthday- such a fun weekend! We had her party at the local bounce house place on Saturday morning and she felt soooo special in her new necklace, shirt and tutu.  She played so hard with her friends and family members who came to the party.  Thanks everyone who made her weekend so great!

Audrey is 2 years 11 months old!

Audrey is getting so much bigger and smarter every day- we love her so much! Here's little snippets into what life is like with her right now:

- She is obsessed with the hot tub- wants to swim every minute of every day. :)

 

- Also, she is in love with swimming, period! Here are both girls over at Paul's parents' house...swimming yet again!

 

 -Summer is proving to be very tiring. ;)

 - She's hung out with Mommy a lot....such a cutie!

- She likes to dress herself- this is one of her ensembles to go outside and play....in August.  I think the fleece jacket really sets off the look!

 - Our very good friends from church, Jeremy and Sara, moved in down the street from us, along with their sweet kiddos.  Our girls are THRILLED to have fun neighbors and like hanging out with them so much!  Here they are at brunch, after church one Sunday.  Fun!

- She LOOOOOVES to read- here's her favorite story (and quite possibly my favorite video of her ever!) 

 She is so precious and we are enjoying the summer so much- thanks for checking in!

Emily is 5 Years 9 Months Old!

 I cannot believe Emily is almost ready to start kindergarten!  SOMEBODY SLOW DOWN THE CLOCK!!!!!  We are having a great summer- here's what she's been up to this month:

- She joined a bunch of her preschool friends and went to see a movie.  This is the first summer we've seen almost every children's movie- but she and Audrey have seen Despicable Me 2 (Emily saw it twice), Turbo, Monsters University.... we've spent a lot of time at the theaters this year!

- Her sweet friend Braelyn came and stayed the night with us.  The sweet girls were supposed to go to the fair but it had rained so much the fairgrounds were a muddy mess- so we opted for painting pottery and ice cream instead. 

- They were "asleep" here-- so convincing, right?!

- After several weeks of lots of late nights, I found her one afternoon like this-- sound asleep on the couch!  She hasn't taken a nap in literally YEARS.  

- We did finally make it to the fair toward the end of the week.  She had a blast and we spent time with some close friends- the kiddos were thrilled!

- She got to wear makeup to school one day:

- She learned to tie her shoes!

- More playdates with more friends- lots of dressing up!

- Eating nutella sandwiches:

- Lots of swimming (and crazy wild posing!)

- She too enjoyed our 4th of July celebration with our neighbors- such a blast!

-We went to Cooper's 4th birthday party and Emily got to see Mickey Mouse!

There you have it.  So hard to believe that this time next month, she will be a KINDERGARTENER and will have been in school a week already!!!!
