I got the girls this little Dora couch from a consignment shop. They LOVE it! Especially Emma....she says "Emma watch Dori on Emma's Dori couch" (in her Dora jammies!). She loves Dora right now!

My bestest friend from college visited last week with her new little guy Jackson. He is a cutie! Kaylee enjoyed entertaining him!

Yet another trip to the zoo.....this time with Daddy. We haven't gone with Josh in awhile so it was fun to be able to go with

Since Josh was with us we were able to feed the Lorikeets and ride the carousal (it is just too hard when I am by myself). So the girls loved the birds!

Emma DID NOT want to ride an animal....she was very content to ride here in the peacock seat with Mallory and me.

On the 4th of July I caught Miss Mallory getting into Josh's beer stash in the mud room. She actually got one open....well a little hole somehow and I realized after there was a large puddle of beer that she had crawled all around in!!!

Enjoying time at Nana Pamela's house!

That's all folks....one more day of my break, man that flew by!

This and That

Happy Birthday USA!

Every year our little neighborhood does their own 4th of July parade. It is quite funny. Most people are in the parade and very few people actually watch it----cause everyone is IN it! We watched it though....so the girls got LOTS of candy! So this parade is filled with tractors, riding lawn mowers, horses, donkeys, classic cars, and people on bikes. It is fun time and it all ends with lemonade and watermelon!

Little Mallory was there also. She was in the Baby Bjorn most of the time....she waved at everyone that went by it was so cute. Not many pics of her since I was the one wearing her...and I am the picture taker!

After the parade we had a little BBQ with Jeremy, Laurie and Hope, Nana Pamela, and some neighbors came by. It was a nice relaxing afternoon with some yummy food. Nana then watched the girls so Josh and I could go and enjoy the fireworks in Parker. What a fun 4th of July!!!!!

Summer Fun!

The last few weeks we have been staying very busy and having a great time! Still enjoying the sand box . Next up is a water table...still trying to find a good, used one of those.

Mallory out with us...not quite ready for sand yet....but it won't be long!

Emma all flushed and pink from a hard day of play outside!

Princess Mallory

Mallory has been standing more and more lately...she will be on the move (on her two feet that is) before we know it!

Last week we went to the Wildlife Experience. It was the Friday before the 4th so NO ONE was there it was perfect. The kids had the place to themselves!

Did the zoo again with Casey, Aedan, and Abby! We actually did the zoo twice last week....once with Knox and Kasey, but failed to do pics that day! I love this one of all three girls lined up looking at the the polar bears!

A new park with a splash-pad opened up not too far from us. So we've been there a couple of times enjoying that. Not many pics of them in the water. I can't do that while taking care of Mallory!

Mallory enjoying her snacks! She loves her food just like her sisters---as if you couldn't tell!!

My two "brownies" as I call them!

So that is just a little of what we have been up to. We also went to the fountains at Southlands and enjoyed the free Friday night concert, we went swimming (in a big pool), spent time with my brother and his family (they just moved here....yay!).......lots of doing while off track around here! A couple of more weeks to see more friends and fit in lots more FUN!!!
