The girls

It's hard to believe Macy is already 2 months old.
And even harder to believe Anabelle is almost 2 years old!

She did it!

Anabelle has been practicing using her potty for a while ... but now she actually did it!!

Yesterday she peed in the potty. And today she did the full duty! She was so happy because the potty sings a song when she does her business. Way to go Anabelle!

Why does vacation ever have to end?!

We had such a nice vacation at Barren River Lake State Resort Park. Seriously, that's the name. I guess they couldn't really decide what to call it so they named it a little bit of everything. And we did a little bit of everything ...

Hang out with family.



Hang out at the pool.
Anabelle got to go in the big kid pool with Grandma and Aunt Colleen!


Go golfing.


Eat lots of junk food.


Play on a boat on the lake.
Of course, Anabelle had to get behind the wheel herself!


Go jet-skiing!!!
I got it up to 65 mph - too fun!


Strive to be as cool as Aunt Kelly.

After all the fun and excitement, it was time to relax!
Can't wait for the next vacation!

More fun pictures from the weekend

The girls had a great time at the beach!

We went to cheer dad on at his sand volleyball game!

I think the babies were really into it - take a look for yourself.

Fun times all around!

Thanks for sending your pictures Aunt Lolly!

The cousins unite!

What a fun (but too quick) weekend! We loved playing with Payton, oh and Shannon and Colleen! But, we're not totally convinced Macy and Payton are related - look at them, they are complete opposites! But they are both extremely cute so they must be related!

Aunt Colleen behaved herself for the most part!

Raise your hand if you want them to come back soon!!

'Nuff said.

Payton Visits Cleveland

Payton Callie came to visit her cousins this weekend. Here is a little taste of how things are going:

July Fourth Party

Every weekend should be Fourth of July with weather like Cleveland has experienced. Absolutely amazing! Our friends had their annual Fourth of July party on Saturday. Anabelle played in the pool, mom and dad played corn-hole, we ate, we drank, . . . . we just had fun!!

We don't get many pictures of the four of us, I have to say we look pretty good!

This was Anabelle's first sparkler!!! She liked it until it got a little too hot.

Do you think Anabelle likes cake?

Here's mom playing with her girls, so cute.

Zooooooo Day!

So, I finally convinced Breese to take a day off work (yes, it's surprisingly hard to do) and we had a great day. Instead of his usual meetings and cubicle life, we went to the zoo on a perfect 70 degree and sunny day and had a blast! Anabelle especially loved the wolves and howled at them lots. I'd say the monkeys were her second favorite! Or maybe her favorite thing was just getting to run free in any which direction she pleased!
It was so much fun that maybe it'll be easier next time to convince Breese to take the day off! Maybe.

Looking at the "taaallll" giraffes!

Train ride - choo choo! Macy slept almost the entire time we were at the zoo!

Polar bear lounging in the sun?!

How cute are they??!!!

So cute!

Tummy Time

Macy is a rock star at "Tummy time!" She picks her head up and looks all around. What a good girl!

And just to prove that I am surviving life with 2 kids, here's a picture of me with my sweet Macy. I gotta get a picture with me and the two of them. Or better yet, maybe soon we'll get a picture of the 4 of us! Stay tuned!
