City Park and a friend

One of our very favorite places to visit is City Park.  They, of course, have a playground and swings, but also, ducks to feed, and RIDES!

The girls enjoyed having my cousin, Tiffany visit and loved taking her with them to their favorite park.

A visit to Nana and Papa's

Daddy had to work all weekend, so Mommy thought it was a great weekend to visit Nana and Papa!  No visit to Nana and Papa's is complete without a ride in the convertible! 

Especially when that ride is to the Dariette for ice cream!!!!!

Papa got tickets to the races and we had FUN! 

Aww, they do love each other!

Watch out for Lainey!

This picture is just priceless to me!

Swimming Summer

We don't go to the community pool much in the summer.  I'm sure we will as the girls get older, but for now they are content and happy to play in the backyard pool.  And it is so much easier for me.  They love it and I love that they love it!

Hmm.....great aim!

Nice duck into the pool, Paige!

There we go!

And fresh strawberries for a snack!

Field Day!

Our Garden

Well, the girls wanted a garden this year, so I bit the bullet and went for it.  I never have great luck, but I think it is a great skill to teach the girls.  Plus, I think it helps them appreciate and enjoy eating vegetables more.  This year we planted tomatoes, cucumbers, bell peppers, banana peppers, and onions.

A future postal worker perhaps?!

Alaina is totally OBSESSED with getting the mail every day, and most days checks it at least 4 times, even if she already has gotten it that day.  I can NOT get her to grasp that our mail comes once a day, in the afternoon, and never on Sundays.  She checks it before we go anywhere, when we get home, if we go out to play (several times), and still asks throughout the day when we are inside. 

She knows to look both ways before she checks.

OOPS!  She sometimes drops it.

A double check to make sure she got it all.

So proud!
