This was another one of our play dates. We went to Tipton. It was so hot so we didn't stay long. Lauren usually doesn't like spraying water because it scares her....big surprise. But I showed her the little baby section where the water only sprays a little and she seemed to like that.
So did Aniston.
The other night we had Both the Cunningham's and the Hobson's over for a swim and cookout.
Here are Lauren and Holden playing on the tractor....I have had that tractor fo 7 years. I got it at a garage sale for $4...best $4 bucks I ever spent....so many kids have got so much enjoyment out of it.
Aba in the water....she loved the pool..until she soiled her swim diaper....seems like every year we have to bust out the hose because some one pooped their pants.
This is Holden's dad, Jay. He is always such a good sport. He plays with all the kids in the water. Its nice because then we don't have to.
Caroline just turned 1. We had so much fun at her party. We ate good food, played with friends, and swam.
Here is Caroline eating her cake.
Getting ready to go swimming.
Jay and Lauren are doing the Library reading program this summer so it was time to collect our prizes. We decided to go bowling!!! It was so fun and it was so cute to watch Lauren. She was a little afraid at first....big surprise. As long as I held her hand going up there, and helped her roll the ball. she would do it. When it hit the pins she got sooo excited. And it was really cute to watch Jay try to help Lauren. Jay was a pretty good little bowler.....check out the last picture...look at his form. Grandma got to come and watch us bowl too.
This was the first 4th of July that I didn't have a party. It was kind of nice. We went over to Steph and Travis's. Annie and Steve and their boys were all there. We cooked out and played. This is a picture of Colin holding Chase. Chase is about 6 weeks old. He is such a good baby. Half the time we don't even know he is there.
Craigy and Ava.....Craig always has to hold Ava to see if he will make her cry...she seemed to like him this night.
Lauren's using the beer huggy as her telescope.....she likes to be just like Dora
I tried so hard to get a picture of the 3 of them and this was all I could get.
Several weeks ago we went to chicago to see Amy. Her parents have a boat on Lake Michigan. I took Jay with us. We had a ball. Lauren stuck to Amy like glue. When we got home Amy had to go get us some pizza so Lauren insisted that she go with Amy. Amy didn't seem to mind so I allowed it...well Lauren looked at me, pointed her finger at me, and said you are not going. Needless to say I didn't go and they successfully got us pizza and brought it home.
Before story hour we went and had breakfast in the park so this is them playing at the park.
This was of course the best picture I could get they woudn't sit still for very long.
