Daddy's Softball Game...

So, in the grand scheme of  our summer, I have been attempting to get the girls out and about more often and introduce them to new experiences....so, we decided that it would be cool to take the girls' to Daddy's work softball game....it was a 7pm game. So, we packed into the car, stopped and got some McDonalds and headed off to the game in Forest Partk....that said, not sure if this is an experience we'll be repeating anytime soon, but the girls seemed to have a decent time. It was a hard concept to understand that Daddy had to focus on the game and NOT us. Shocker of all Shocker, we were not the center of our Daddy's attention, and we were NOT fans of it.

Maybe next year, they'll like going to the games more....I hope! :)

Summer Adventures....

After such a fun filled vacation, it took me a whole day to get situated and realized that we were going to need some SERIOUS activities for the summer to keep us occupied! So, I decided that each day we would try and do something special.

Here we are playing at our favorite playground by our house......

After the playground, we may or may not have gotten a special treat, but I can't tell you that! :) It was a lot of fun, but then it started to get a little crowded and I hate being the ONLY parent who watches their kids on the playground, and it was a little past lunch time (which means crabbiness), so we headed out.

Hope All is Well,

Family Reunion

Today we had Matt's Mom's side of the family's family reunion. As always it was a good time. It helps that Matt actually KNOWS all the people in his extremely large extended family. His Grandma was one of 12 children, and their families are all very close, which is really cool. This is of course the complete opposite of my family reunion that my mom makes us go to each year where I know, oh, approximately 4 people (all of them, with the exception of my mom, over the age of 75)....the girls had a blast, and as you can see by the many thousands of pictures, several outfit changes....what can one expect from our little divas?

Miss O...

Kyra...and O, our new sunglasses are courtesy of Aunt Gretchen and Kyra (they are too small to fit Kyra), so we are benefitting from this!

Sydney hanging on her Neena, as usual...

"Mama...they have a pool, can we swim?"  I am a mean mom and made them wait until after lunch to swim.

Testing out the water before we get our lunch....

Miss S

Miss O...

Checking out the camper, they were fascinated by it!

Eating lunch...

"HELPING" Daddy eat his sampling of desserts....thankfully he had intended on sharing with the girls!

It's swimming time....

Running around after spending some time in the pool....Sydney convinced Aunt Gretchen to allow her to 'walk' Chica...poor Chica.

Hope all is well with you....next week is my first full week of summer and we are off on Friday to see Uncle Todd and go to the beach and Disney before we head to Phoenix to see Grandma and GrandDude (who will be at the beach and Disney with us).....
