4th of July

The Fourth of July has become one of my favorite holidays. It is no stress really at all and I get to have fun celebrating Karen's birthday! We spend the day with our friends swimming, eating, visiting fireworks and EATING! Love it!
Levi Loves watermelon.

I saw this cute little idea on pinterest where you use a star cookie cutter for you watermelon and some blueberries to make these fun festive wands. The kids had so much fun making then I think this is a new tradition for us!
Fun to eat too!
Cupcakes for the birthday girl. Chocolate of course!
Me and My girl
Red, white and blue
I know this picture looks a lot like the other picture but I really liked them both:)
Ezra's shorts and Ivy's dress are made out of the same material.
Lucy is a twin mom just like her mommy. It is very normal for Lucy to carry two dolls around the house. When her babies are stuck in her bed she will cry, "My babies, My babies." The chances of her having twins is high being a fraternal twin herself so I guess this is good practice!
Daddy and his babies
Lucy's first sparkler
Levi wanted nothing to do with them!
Ezra putting on a show

 Daddy puts on a good show too.




Too much fun for little Rylan (son of Ross and Jordana)
I am sad that I didn't get any pictures of Cora on her first 4th. I do have a sweet story though....

Karen was changing Cora's diaper and Cora was fussy. Ezra came up and said "I will hold her hand so she won't be sad....It's okay Cora." He loves her!!!!

The kids meet Cora

The kids were SO excited to meet their new "cousin" Cora!
 Ezra is so sweet with her!
 Poor Cora didn't know what was going on!!!
 They are in love with her...
and I am too!
Thank you David and Karen for letting the kids hold Cora.

3 little ducks went out to play...TAKE TWO...

So I wanted the perfect photos but my camera died last time so I decided to try again.....I know I am crazy! I still didn't get the "perfect" photo but that is okay:)



Levi is all boy, throwing rocks.
Lucy is not about to let the boys show her up!


I love pigtails!!!

Ducks in a row...

Sometimes too much!

 Happy boy




 Daddy is the best!

Finger painting

It is interesting to see the difference in kids. The boys had their hands all up in the paint and Lucy was much more dainty.

Baby hungry

June 19, 2012
So this is not what you think....This post has NOTHING to do with me! Ezra is baby hungry!!!!! I am not joking! He started asking me "Mom when are you going to get another baby in your tummy?" He reminds me about how good he is with babies. Telling me about different times he has held babies or helped out. Is is really good with babies and just LOVES them!
Here he is feeding Hailey her yogurt.
