New Album

I posted a new photo album with pictures from the park and the Lincoln Children's Zoo. Click on the "Photo Albums" link at the top of the blog and then click on July 2010 to view.

a few new pics

I attempted to take some new pictures of the girls tonight, unfortunately neither one was in the mood! I guess having a playground in sight is not a good idea when you are trying to get small children to pose! I did get a couple that I thought were worth sharing...

I LOVE the location of this picture so maybe we will try again sometime. I could not get Camryn to smile for me and the wind was blowing pretty hard so her hair was going everywhere. This one I didn't think was too bad...

This is kind of a cheesy smile but at least she doesn't look like she is in pain like she usually does when she tries to smile!

I thought this one was kind of cute too.

Well I got Elody to sit long enough to get one half way decent picture, I guess that is a success!

A little more fun in the sun!

Camryn and her new "best friend" Bree

Elody wasn't too sure about it but finally got out there a little.

Elody loves to say "CHEESE!"

Would you believe these two are 2 years apart in age!

I hope these two stay good friends, I'm a little sad that Camryn had to move away from the first friends she made.

Summer Fun

This year the girls really like the splash pad! Mommy and Daddy are really enjoying that we can actually go do things that they like to do now!
They are really becoming good friends. Of course they both annoy each other every now and then but I love watching them play together and love on each other.
I don't know if you can see them but Camryn is wearing butterfly wings, she was just being goofy and I thought this picture was too funny.
Uncle Scott R gave Camryn a fishing pole and she has been dying to use it. We went to Orchard last weekend and Grandpa, Uncle Scott H, and daddy took Camryn fishing. She was more than excited!
She kept waving at mom while she was waiting :)
(poor Brian looks like he is having sooo much fun)
GOT ONE!

"don't hurt him grandpa"
she put the fish back in "with his family"

New additions to the blog

I added new pages to the blog which can be accessed by clicking on the names at the top. I hope to keep these somewhat updated with current info about the girls. That way people who don't see them very often can see what they like to do, what they have learned, etc. I still plan to put most posts on the main page, the new pages will just be updates on things specific to each girl (and Brian and I too if anything newsworthy happens...not likely though :o) I already started the girls' pages but plan to add more so check back often :)

By the way, I see that I REALLY need to update the Blog Banner but I love the pictures that are on there currently and I hate to take them off. However, Elody is now 16 months old and the pictures of her were her newborn pictures we had taken when she was only 2 weeks old (EEK)!

Little Entertainers!

Camryn and Elody playing the piano at the Children's Museum in Lincoln last month.

What a difference a year makes! (or three years...)

I can't believe we have two BEAUTIFUL girls that are already 1 and 3!

Camryn and Elody playing in Camryn's new sandbox, not sure if she will ever come back inside now!

Camryn passed out on the sofa before her party and woke up to a house full of people! And no she does not have the flu, she just really likes her new sandbox toys :)

What a ham...

The gifts started to arrive

Camryn with her Dora cookie

*gasp* look at my new toys!

Camryn loved her new belly button book,

and had a blast with this dress up set!

and now has a backpack JUST LIKE DORA!

Happy Third Birthday to our beautiful girl! We love you!
