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)!

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

Camryn Elizabeth Horstmann was born and we fell in completely in love!

June 6, 2008
Camryn's first birthday, just one day after we found out we were expecting baby #2!

Camryn's 2nd birthday

June 5, 2010
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!

Our weekend away

Camryn is frequently told that she will be an athlete when she grows up so she thought that she would try being a football player at the Lincoln Children's Museum.
or how about a ref?
She liked 'flying' the plane.
And really liked being a doctor, which sounds better to me than being a pilot!
The dolls were too easy so she thought she would try out her skills on her favorite patient!
Elody really liked this "puppy." :)
And she was pretty excited to find things to play with that were her size!
I don't have any great pictures from swimming but the girls did have a good time. Camryn took a long time to warm up to the idea of it but eventually realized that she could touch the bottom and then she loved it. She still keeps telling be about walking in the pool.
Elody was not in a good mood when we got to the zoo!

She did enjoy these "puppies." :DCamryn almost enjoyed looking at the fish... for a few minutes.
After a couple hours of being crabby Elody finally crashed,
and Camryn finally got to ride the carousel!
The girls definitely enjoyed parts of the weekend but I think we will wait a couple years before we go back to the zoo. Somebody please remind me of that next summer :) We did have great weather and the girls slept way better than we expected at the hotel, so I guess the weekend was somewhat of a success.

Kite Flying Video

Here are a few different video clips from our kite flying experience today. I will warn you that the video is pretty boring but I thought I would add it anyway for anyone who needs proof that we actually were able to do it. And by "we" I mean Brian :)
