Summer Fun!

Here's what we've been up to lately.  So busy, but so fun!

 This is when Jane was so close to crawling, but hadn't started yet.

 Lots of playing at the park...Jane loves to swing.

 Backyard play...she could be pushed around ALL day.

 We took a trip to California for Memorial Day weekend to be with Rob's family.  Little Jane and cousin Brandon were born only minutes apart.  They're already good friends.

 I love to watch the kids playing together nicely with their cousins.

 Lots of bowling.  We joined the Kids Bowl Free program again.

 The kids love to eat at the Elephant Bar.

 We went to the botanical gardens one weekend a little bit ago and they had a train exhibit.  Blake was in heaven.

 Sliding with my baby.  Jane is a thrill seeker already.

 Lots of backyard swimming.

 I took the kids to an Activity Day girls' (that I'm leader over) swim party.  Jane loved chilling in the tube.

 This baby loves her morning bath.  Whenever I take her upstairs with me to get ready, she crawls straight over to the bath and makes her begging sound.

 Everything goes into the mouth.  She's happily eating sidewalk chalk here.

 This was right before school got out for the summer.  Again, Jane is a slide baby all the way.

 This was at Rob's parent's house over the holiday weekend.

 Our little water baby.

 We went to the ski lake.

 The kids loved tubing.  I love their expressions here.

 I got to watch my hubby ski again! It's been a while, but he's still got it!

 Natalie enjoyed helping grandpa drive the boat.

 I love this girl's imagination at play.

 For activity days, we had a father/daughter nerd party.  Here I am in nerd attire-mom jeans, bowtie, pigtails, retainers and all.  It was tons of fun.

 We took the kids to the Marriott Pyramid Hotel where they were having a weekend train show.  It was a hit-especially with this boy.

 They got to build some fun scenery structures.

 Jane loves the sit and spin.

 She's already my helper in the laundry room.  Such a sweet girl.

This particular afternoon, Jane had just got up from her nap and when I brought her down and she saw Blake sitting on the couch, she wanted to get on his lap.  When I set her on him, she immediately gave him big kisses and just smiled so big.  It was the cutest thing, and it totally made Blake's day.
