Dear Jennie,

Thanks so much for my new bikini! I wore it today to play with some friends at the splash pad and I LOVE it!! Don't I look so cute in pink??

I love you,

Reese

Choo Choo at the Zoo

As many times as we have been to the zoo, we have never ridden the train! Yesterday I told the kiddos we would go and ride -- it was a short, little, un-eventful ride (which isn't a bad thing!) and now we can say we've done it (what a big deal, huh?!?!?!) Reese loved it, but Charlie was so unsure of the whole thing at first, the engine rumbling, the whistle blowing, he rode the entire time in my lap!

(This is pre-train moving!! There were no more smiles until the end of the ride!!)

Group shot -- one day, we will all be looking at the camera!

Brunch for Logan

Joe's cousin, Logan is graduating from high school this week-- to celebrate, we went to a brunch for him on Sunday. The kids got to see their great grandmother, which is an added bonus! Happy Graduation Logan!!

Joe caught Charlie for a split second -- just long enough to snap this pic!!

playing cards!!

Cheese-face!

My latest project.....

The photographer that took the kids pictures sells these frames on her website. They are pretty pricey, so I decided to try and put one together on my own. I think it turned out cute.....not as pretty as the professional ones, but it will do!!

Cutie Pies!!

We went to the zoo today with some friends. These little girls will be in the same class at MDO starting this summer.....they played so well today! Aren't they cute?!?!?!?!

Two Peas in a Pod

If you wanna know where Charlie is, just find his daddy!

Our newest hobby.....

Reese has taken a huge interest in dress up these days. Just recently I have been acquiring dress up clothes for her to play with, and to her, it's the best thing since sliced bread. Last week, we added a "tower" of princess shoes that has kept her busy all week. Don't you remember being a little girl playing dress up? She is such a little "diva!"

We put the clothes on......

.....then we take them off!

On again!!

Twirling around for mommy!!

Do-Dah Day Party

Wow, what a weekend we had! We had 3 parties to go to and by Sunday night, we were pooped! We started off the weekend with a DoDah Day Party at Taylor's house. It was so much fun! They grilled out and had lots of yummy food and Reese and Charlie got to play with lots of cute puppies! Thanks for having us Taylor -- hope you do it again next year (hint, hint!!)

she is such a doggy-lover!!

anywhere he goes, he finds a ball.....today was no different!!

drink break!!

more doggies!!

Happy Birthday Wyatt!!

Saturday afternoon we had Wyatt's 2nd birthday. It was at an indoor play place, so of course the kids had a blast! We had Elmo cake and he got lots of great gifts! Happy Birthday Wyatt!!

2 old men in their chairs!

"let's go this way mommy!"

I don't know why, but she LOVES to go down slides backwards!!

This is how you eat Birthday Cake!!

Have you even seen an 18mo old fall asleep in the middle of a birthday party? Me either!!

Charlie had had all he could take -- He slept like this for 30 minutes and only woke up because I got him out! Poor baby, this is what happens when you skip naptime!!
