The big Catch

Those of you who know me well know how much I love to fish, but since Addie was born the only fishing I have done was last August on vacation.  So the other night when we were at my Grandparents house and my cousin was out fishing I had to throw in a line.  Well I just want everyone to know....  I've still got it!  Here is proof.

Weekend with the girls

Two weeks ago we traveled to Kentucky for my niece Zoe's first birthday.  Having all the girls under one roof for a few days was a little crazy, but a lot of fun.

Waiting in the never ending diaper changing line.

It is really hard to get all the girls in the same picture.

4th of July party at the Mitchell Farm

Zoo & Water Park

Watching the dolphin show at the Brookfield Zoo

We discovered a little water park in ottawa and Addie loves it!

Last week I decided to buy Addie a potty so when the time came that she was ready to use it we were prepared.  I never expected her to use it this young, but to my surprise the second day we had it she sat down and peed.  The next day she peed on it 4 times and pooped once.  We were so impressed!    The next couple of days she went a couple of times, but wasn't to interested.  Now everytime we asks if she wants to sit on the potty she says no:(  Oh well, it was fun while it lasted.

More Summer fun

"How about you let me drive".

"Seriously, get out.  I want to drive".

Yesterday we went for Addie's 15 month doctors visit.  She is now 24.6 lbs (75%) and 30 3/4" tall (50%).  I am surprised her weight wasn't even higher the way she has been eating lately.  She eats constantly! 

A day of fun

Kayla's 2nd Birthday Party

I was trying to give Brent time to post about Kayla's birthday party first, but I can't wait any longer.  The pictures are to cute.

Hillbilly Birthday Party!

We hosted Kayla's birthday party at our new house.  Finally we have a house big enough to have a party!  Yeah!!!  It was stormy most of the day, so we didn't really plan on the girls swimming.  Once they let the girls outside though there was no stopping them from getting in the pool.  Kennedy was the first to jump in in her clothes, so the guys just decided to strip down all the girls.
