Jungle Safari!!

We celebrated Lily's 3rd birthday party at Babymoon Boutique and had a Jungle Themed party.  The kids sang songs, rode in a boat, beat on a drum, played with balloons and made music.  They also made picture frames.  Lily had so much fun, even if her face didn't show it all the time. 

cycle break fun

One of our favorite cycle break activities was apple picking at Eckerts in Milstadt. The weather was gorgeous and the girls had a blast picking the yummy apples.

All Done, happy girl!

The sitter was sick today so Mommy was home and we decided to make it a big first for Lily! She had her first hair cut!  Her hair has grown soooo much this year and the ends were getting a little thin so we decided to try the Hairy Elephant for her first hair cut. She loved it.  She got to sit in a fighter jet and watch Dora while being pampered!  I loved the braids they put in, they will be perfect for her first dance class tonight. 

Water Days

Daddy helping with bubbles

Sprinkler time

Last Friday Lily's preschool had Water Days AND her Daddy spent the day with her volunteering in the room. She had so much fun having her Daddy there and he had fun with 16 3 year olds!  The Water Days was a hit. Lily's favorite things were painting on the easel with water colors and running in the sprinkler.

Happy Birthday Baby

Happy Girl

This weekend we celebrated our sweet Ella's first birthday.  We  had a party with family and a few friends.  Ella did not enjoy everyone looking at her when it came time to dig into her cake, but after Daddy held her a while she dug right in!  It was a great celebration for an amazing little girl!
Love you Ella! Happy 1st Birthday.

Tiny Dancer

Lily had her last tap class last week and did GREAT!  We were worried with Grandma's and Aunts and Uncles there that she would shy away and not do her dancing moves, but that was not the case. She LOVED having an audience and had so much fun. We are signed up for another session of dance starting in September. Can't wait!

I love my Mondays off!

Today was a great fun summer day!  We were able to join my dear family friends the Fridleys and Purewals for a boat ride.  Laura has been my friend since I was about 10 or so and I grew up on this lake.  It was kinda surreal to have my girls playing with her boys on a boat and tubing today!  We had a yummy lunch and a fun day playing in the water, tubing, riding the boat and just hanging out.  I was soo proud of  Britton for skiing at 5 and Lily for trying out tubing for the first time.  I love having Mondays off!
