Summer pictures

Just a few pictures of what we've been up too. Eating delicious berries, enjoying the summer weather, finishing some projects up around the house and being silly.

June

Finally getting around to posting about June. It was a busy month but lots of down time too. We kicked off the month going to Cannon Beach for a few nights. The weather was fairly good and sunny, we all loved swimming. Once back we got into a summer schedule, although it wasn't summer weather yet, swimming lessons for both girls and ballet camp for Addie. Swimming was great and Addie is pretty much swimming on her own with a little help here and there. Matilda loved the water and loved being in the pool with Addie and the big kids! Ballet was cute too and at the end of the week the girls performed Jemima Puddle Duck.

Here's a few pics from the beach more to come.....

First Day and last day

Preschool Graduation

I can't believe Addie will be in kindergarten next year. The last few years have literally flown bye and I'm sad and excited all at the same time. Here are a few pictures from the big Grad day. Addie got the "Awesome Actress" award!

Strawberry Kids Parade

We participated in the kids parade this year, it was so much fun! Thanks to everyone for getting the wagons and outfits ready! My girls were strawberries from Chine (Strawberries around the World). But we also had Brazil, Rome, France, and of course the US represented. It was fun to see all the kiddos waiting for the parade to start and tossing out the candy (which I think we consumed more than we actually tossed out). The only downside, besides a little meltdown from Matilda, was Addie's allergies. By the time we got home her eyes were swollen I didn't recognize her. This year seems bad and we may need to get some stronger meds :(

May

May has been a very busy month! Mothers Day was excellent! We celebrated with a tea party and play at Addie's school. All the kids drew a picture of their moms and made them into necklaces. The play was all about bees and the weather. Addie was a poppy flower and delivered her 2 lines perfectly. We are winding down in soccer and gymnastics. Also had kindergarten round up and the school open house! Tears, tears for me. Next up is girl scout camps, swim lessons and more summer camps.

Matilda continues to crack us up with her new words and all her expressions. She LOVES going anywhere and thinks all places are her personal playgrounds. So it keeps us on the move. These past several weeks have been pretty smooth (dare I say that??) and the girls relationship continues to grow. My absolute favorite thing is watching them play and take care of each other. You can ask Matilda who she loves and who loves her, her response "ADDIEEE". Just love it!

Tulips!

In between rain showers the girls and I drove out to the tulips. The girls loved the cow train and the mud puddles! I got a few cute shots and the best part? No trips or falls in the mud!
