A Baseball Saturday with Daddy

The newest and largest pool!

Our newest pool...

 Bean in pink and Bell in green.

Doing ballet in the pool.

Taking a little break! :)

This was a worthwhile investment for the rest of the summer. The girls start swimming lessons on Monday and now they have a place to practice what they learn. Mommy and Daddy fit in the pool as well. :) It's awesome!

The Candy Parade

4th of July Parade!

It was ridiculously hot... 102 degrees.. or something like that.

After a certain point, it really doesn't matter what the actual temperature is.

 And she's on the move... candy must be on it's way!

Ask the girls what their favorite part was and they will say, "the candy!" 

Not the floats, the marching bands, the cool cars, or even the firetrucks.

They recreated the parade later that afternoon at home.

Beach fun

 Exciting trip to the museum yesterday! Didn't get too many good pictures, but here are a few bad ones. :)

Our first time bowling

Bella 

Bean

Oh my goodness, did they have fun! We could never have guessed how excited the girls would be about bowling. They didn't even know what it was before they got free passes from the library's summer reading program. They had so much fun, Bean danced back from each turn she took. Bell spent time reading the number of pins that were knocked down for each person's turn. It was a blast!

The blue-eyed team

The three of them beat me by 9 points. There was a ridiculous amount of smack-talk from the biggest of the blue-eyed team, but the little ones put in their fair share as well. It's amazing I made i t out at only a 9 point deficit.

After church... we had a yummy lunch at potbelly. 

 And took this crazy picture. Getting one with both girls smiling and looking at the camera is next to impossible these days. 

Jammied up Bunnies

 When you've played dress up so much you just can't possibly find something new to wear, you can do this...

start dressing your stuffed animals.

Fun with friends!

 We are blessed with such wonderful friends. 

 Thanks for hosting, Kim!

We had a wonderful time!

I miss the mommies!

 Bella and Bean miss their friends!

 :) love you all!

Watching the puppies outside!

The rib experience!

I don't really eat ribs. So, I never make ribs and the girls have never had ribs... Until Sunday... When Bill introduced them it was quite a scene.


Holy cow!
