Spending a lot of time at the lake

It's been a beautiful July and with a gorgeous lake almost in our backyard, we've been spending a lot of time there!

Cooling off

So great that Grandma Arlene has a little pool for the girls to cool off in!

Waterslides!

Had a great day at the waterslides! Chloe kept saying "this is the best day ever!!" Adrianna really got into it too, surprising me and sliding down some of the big slides - on Daddy's lap of course. Hopefully we'll be able to visit there again before summer is over! This was on the way out...

Hello Summer!

Our absolute favorite time of year is here... Long sun filled days, cooling off in the water and hanging out with family and friends. Here's Adrianna enjoying an orange at one of our favorite spots, Alouette Lake.

This particular day we spent with our friends, Phoenix and Parker...

Sunshine and a fountain

Where did the sun go? Last weekend was so beautiful, we stopped at a water fountain so the girls could make a wish. Clearly they didn't wish for the sunshine to last...

A pretty happy Daddy

We celebrated Father's Day by going out on a hike to Gold Creek. Here's a cute shot from the day...

Build a Sulley

We took Adrianna to Build A Bear to pick out her present. She is going with some of her little friends on Saturday to go and see Monsters University, so she picked out the lead character, Sulley.

She was so tired by the time we left that she fell asleep on the way home, with Sulley by her side.

Happy 3rd Birthday Adrianna!

I can not believe our baby is three! Where does the time go??

So, it's been over a year?

Well shame on me!  I can't believe that it's been over a year since I last posted anything!  I really thought that I would be better at updating what's going on with us - but I guess life just started happening and (much like my laundry lately) it got pushed to the back burner. Alright - spring is in the air - and it's time for a fresh start.  So here you go.

Chloe is now 5 and a half.  We are going to her Kindergarten orientation at the end of the month and I have a feeling I'll have to have a kleenex close by.  I keep telling her to stop growing - that's it!  She just gives me the biggest smile and says, "but I have to be 6 and 7 and 10!"  Chloe has a little mind of her own.  She knows who she is and what she wants.  Maybe this is just at the fore front of my mind because of the disagreement we had this morning about her clothing choice.  She is really into clothes lately and there's not much I can say about it.  Sometimes she really gets it right...and other times, well.... She's still as cute as pie anyway.  Oh - and she is crazy about her younger sister.

Adrianna will be three years old in June.  I can't believe my little baby is not a baby anymore!  She is such a little monkey.  She has an incredible sense of humor already. She cracks us up constantly and for the most part is a pretty happy kid.  We're still trying to break the soother habit, but we're down to nights only - so that's progress right?  I don't see many kids at 8 with soothers, so I'm not terribly concerned about it.  She loves her big sister Chloe too.
