Our neighborhood put on a fourth of July party for the 4th. We had some family and friends over for a BBQ as well. It was lots of fun! Our neighbors are great and made sure the kids had a blast with a 100 ft. homemade slip 'n slide and a candy shoot along with great food and fireworks of coarse. I took several pictures, but I haven't had time to edit much of them. So I will just share one of Cam and our cute little neighbor Gracie.

At the neighborhood block/park party:

Cambree just adores her...you can see it too. She loves playing with her and Grace is super sweet with her.

Strawberry Days - Carnival

The girls loved the carnival once again. Well, this was the first year Sienna could really ride anything and her favorite thing was riding in the cars. She would cry when we would get her out so she rode it over and over and over until I literally had no more money for tickets. Cambree enjoyed going down the big yellow slide. I went up with her the first time and she told me right away that she wanted to go down all by herself. At this point, she doesn't seem to be to afraid of anything.

Earlier that day, we planned on going to the parade with our friends Jamie and Clint. Instead of watching the parade we ended up being in it with them. Completely for the kids sake! We rode in a side by side and the kids threw out candy sponsoring the PG Rec. Sorry Jamie I still haven't gotten you some Pict's!)

All in all the kiddo's had a fun filled day!

New Bike ~

Jo Jo and her first bike with training wheels...

She loves it...a lot!

When Michael was gone (out of town for work) I took a trip to Toys R Us so she could pick one out all by herself. As soon as she sat on this one, she knew it was the one. She couldn't wait to get it home. She has already taken a few spills on it (bloody knees and all), but she jumps back up and keeps on going. She's a tough chick!

I think she feels so grown-up on it! We pack it up when we can so she can ride with her cousins and a lot of the time she has fun just riding around home.

Even in her Jammie's before bedtime...
Once she figured out how to get going she was good to go.

She is one happy kid!

Her only request is she needs a basket to carry her 'stuff' around and a bell so everyone can hear her come!
Such a sweet sweet moment!

So she thinks so...

Apparently Sienna now thinks she is way too big for her highchair. This has been going on for a while now. This picture was taken quite a while ago.

Catch-up time remember?

I haven't forgotten although it seems like it. So this is how she eats every meal...standing on our kitchen table on her tippy toes. She has to do everything her sister does. She thinks she is as big as the next one! :)

Catching up time...

Not sure if it is possible or not, but I will try. Summer has been crazy but a lot of fun. It's been hard finding the time to keep up with my blog, but I am going to try. So I will post of few picture's from our Summer (nothing to fancy) and a short caption in hopes to get caught up.

So this was in the middle of June right before the Strawberry Day's Rodeo. The girls and I were just hanging out at Aunt Michele's waiting for everyone to meet up. I didn't get many Pict's at the rodeo since I held Sienna in my arms the entire time. She was making me super nervous and I was afraid she was going to fall threw the bleachers.

I loved them in their little boots...

The Princess Garden Party~

I knew Cambree would most likely love going to this. I told her the night before that her and I were going to spend the day together and she would get to dress up as a princess and go to a Princess party...she was excited to say the least. So first thing, the next morning we got her dressed up in her Snow White costume and she was ready to go. I couldn't be fast enough for her...the anticipation was killing her.

She got her finger nails painted and her hair styled and all the girls got their own terra's. After they all had their pictures taken they all learned how to dance with a prince. They also decorated cookies, made a scrapbook page and decorated their own bag with glitter glue. She was in heaven...

I will look forward to next year so we can bring Sienna a long with us. It was fun to watch her and see her excitement in her eyes as she gets to do all the things that she loves to do.

Wordless Wednesday...

I was able to spend a afternoon with just my 3 year old yesterday. I took her to a Princess Garden Party and we both had such a wonderful time together. She was so excited to dress-up and be a Princess! I was glad she was able to wear this one last time, because I don't think that she will fit in it much longer. She is growing up if I like it or not...I think she makes for a great little Snow White!

Wordless Wednesday...

Momma's glasses -

She only gave me a split before she yanks them off. But, I swear, if I don't have my camera in her face she will prance around a model them for me. It's just the way it goes.

Fourth of July - photo shoot

Cindy and I had so much fun taking these. The kids were crazy and wild and at times I wanted to cry (literally)! But, I found out that the wildness and being uncontrollable was what I ended up loving most about them.

Wordless Wednesday...

Three year olds...Why the A T T I T U D E ? She can only look Sweet and Innocent for so long.

"Through the eyes of a child"

Through the eyes of a child

by Ann Gibson

If you look at the world through a child's eyes

Everything will look different

Maybe even a little distorted at first

But then, you understand,

It starts to make sense

Little by little

An imaginary friend

Someone only they can see

Someone only they understand

But you always go along with it

You pretent to see them too

But you don't

A castle made of blankets and chairs

To you it's only a mess

To a child it's only a mess

To a child it's their own creation

It can entertain them for hours

You get bored within minutes

Through their eyes

It's different

It's special

A tea party with stuffed animals on the lawn

At first it looks like a child sitting in the grass

Talking to no one in particular

You ask, they tell

It's a tea party and you're invited

You play along but you don't understand

A doll, a truck, a car, a spoon

A favorite that can't be left behind

It's a tragedy when it's not there

The world stops spinning

The sun stops shining

They will never see another living day

Through a Child's Eyes

But then

You come to the rescue

The world begins turning again

The sun begins shining again

And they will live to see another day

Through a child's eyes

Everything is bright and happy

Even the sun isn't shining

The sun in their hearts is

If you ever have a bad day

Talk to a child

Not about your problems

But about your joys

It will make a difference

When you look at the world

Through a child's eyes
