A few random July pictures!

My never-ending summer bouquet of fresh picked monkey flowers! My most favorite thing about the season!

 When Reese eats, her ponies eat too….

 SCIENCE!

 Flying babies!!

Reese said this coloring book was her wings!

When Mommy says No, I'll just do it myself.

Swimming lessons!

Ava and Reese started swimming lessons today! They were SO excited!!

DIRT!!

We finally saved up enough to get our backyard put in! The dirt came today. So much fun!!

Happy 4th!!

It's been a  busy, but fun day!! We decorated bikes and went on a bike ride with the church group this morning at the park! Valerie can't peddle her trike yet, so Grandma pushed her around a lot. After that, we went and got some fireworks and played all day! When it got dark, we set up camp out front and watched all of our neighbors go crazy with the big fireworks!

 Hmmm, I think it's just about time for us to get a dog….

 This was so cute! Reese set up Anna & Elsa for a swing!

 Reese loves her babies!!

 At the park before the big bike ride!

 Valerie all tuckered out! She fell asleep on the couch not long after we got home!

 Valerie eating strawberries from the plant. It doesn't get any fresher than that!

 Stinky smoke bombs!

Playroom!!

After a lot of work, the playroom is FINALLY complete!! I have dreamed of having an awesome room JUST for toys ever since Ava was born. It's finally here!! This room was designed to be a formal dining room, but we don't do a lot of entertaining to justify that. We were excited at the thought of having the playroom downstairs, since a majority of our time is spent down there. The girls love it!!

 I love this sign! We bought it back when we bought our first home in 2006. It has always been hung up in our past living rooms. It fits this little playhouse perfectly!
