Beach Fun!

Ahhh....... what a beautiful day for the beach! Thanks to Kristan for planning a beach day with the best RBE girls. The ocean was gorgeous! We were lucky to see dolphins nearby and a little white crab running back to the sea.

Kendall.....are you a bit jealous of Lauren talking to Kiley?

Lauren had a Sick Day ;-(

Kendall is keeping Lauren company, since she doesn't feel like playing. If there is a blanket to lay on, Bailey is there!

Clogged up?

That's not milk in her bottle, it's..... PRUNE juice! Good old doctor prescribed prune juice, good for the old and the young. It works! We had one full, stinky diaper in no time! Kendall started dinnertime solids. I make my own little concoction of bananas or applesauce mixed with breast milk to boost those calories, which will equal chunky thighs! So prune juice will be stocked in my house until her little body digest the foods better.

Thank You!

Thank you, thank you, thank you......for all of your help. love, and support!

The girls are missing you Auntee Jan!

Happy Daddy's Day

Daddy had a fun day in the pool!Kendall is sporting Daddy's Day gear in Cubby Spirit. In the morning we brought a rose over to the cemetery to remember my daddy. xoxo

Who's that Pretty Baby in the Mirror?

Look who's sitting in her crib, by herself!

Happy Anniversary to us x 5!

On June 18th, we celebrated our 5 year anniversary! We had two jealous itty-bittys that wanted in the picture.

After all, they are what has come from this love story!

We planned a mini get-a-way at Disney's Coronado Springs Resort.
It reminded us of our honeymoon!
We had a wonderful, kid-free vacation. We went to 3 of the theme parks and rode all the roller coasters we could find. Just don't tell Lauren that we went without her....shhhh!

Happy Anniversary to us!

and many more......

Dancing Queen

Lauren has been introduced into the world of dance! We enrolled Lauren at Turning Point Dance Studio. She has been keeping our summer very busy with swim and dance! She absolutely LOVES dance class! It's a fun class that combines Creative Movement, Ballet, Tap and Tumbling while working gross motor skills and learning the basic fundamentals of dance. Our little ballerina practicing at home.

Taking pictures through the magic mirror!
It's so cute that she can't see the parents watching the class through the one-way glass.

Kendall is a trooper for being lugged around to all of Lauren's activities!

In due time, it will be her turn. ;-)

Swim Lessons

Lauren started swim, again. This summer we are trying group lessons at Westmonte Park in Altamonte. From what she was able to accomplish last summer, she seems a bit more advanced. However, since she is sooooo incredibly SHY...these lessons will help her open up to new people and environments, hopefully.

At the end of her lesson the classes get to have 10 minutes of play in the kiddie pool. These lessons are completely different from last summer's one-on-one lessons, in many ways. Lauren loved hanging in the kiddie pool. Great incentive for hard work!

Still a Mess!

What a messy eater she is!

Playing Together

Lauren is loving how big and strong Kendall is getting! The two of them just adore each other. Kendall is always looking around for Lauren. Let's see how much they still adore each other when Kendall is getting into Lauren's toys!

Ending the School Year

As most of you know I returned back to work for 6 weeks and three days...to be exact! During the last week I was fortunate enough to have Daddy bring the girls in for a visit. While he was there he read, "Bigfoot Cinderella" to my class since our last unit of study was Fairy Tales. Lauren LOVED being at my school. She sat in a chair to listen to Daddy read and helped Mommy by being the line leader when I walked the students to the cafeteria. Lauren was terribly sad to leave Mommy at work! Notice the frown ;-(
Summer Vacation is here!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
