Happy Fourth of July!!!

We had everyone over for the fourth of July for a cookout, some yard games, and fireworks. We had tons of fun! Here are some pictures from the day.....

We had some serious competition going on with the yard games.....it was very intense!

Kade and Olivia could have stayed in the pool all night for how much they loved it!

Are you suppose to be up here???

Getting ready to swim with Auntie Vickie

These girls were so cute together and gave lots of hugs!

How many kids can you fit in a bath tub???

Olivia's cousins Kade and Noelle came to visit this weekend and after dinner we threw them all in the bathtub. The had lots of fun!

Double trouble!

Fun at the park

Olivia and I went to the park tonight because it was actually nice out again! We had the whole park to ourselves and she had so much fun swinging, sliding, and climbing over the bridge and through the tunnels! This is one of our favorite places to walk to at night!

Swinging cutie!

Just relaxing in her swing

Climbing through the tunnel

Coming down the slide

She loves to crawl over the bridge and then gets a little hesitant coming down the other side!

Look at that hair blowing in the breeze. What a super model!

Bubbles with Auntie Vickie

Auntie Vickie brought over a cool bubble blower the other day for miss Olivia. It is a bug and the wings flap when you blow the bubbles. Olivia had a blast and now we blow bubbles all the time. Thanks Auntie Vickie!

My new pool

Olivia's hawaiian pool had a little hole so we had to get a new one......we decided to try the fish one this time because the top can be on or off. Here she is testing it out....so far no hole. We can't wait for our cousins Kade and Noelle to come on the fourth of july and swim with us!

Father's Day

On Father's day we went over to my Aunts house. There was good food, lots of fun, and a family kickball game.....which our team won by the way :) Here are a few pictures from the day....

Thursdays on First with Addison

A couple of weeks ago we went down to Thursdays on First with Amanda and Addison. After looking at all of the vendors we took the girls down to play in the Mayo fountain. They had so much fun splashing in the water. Check out Addisons pretty hair that she got done down at Thursdays...it is pink and purple with a pretty bow that she picked out....along with her princess crown that she never leaves home without! So cute!

BFF's :) Addison looks a little concerned that Olivia is going to jump in!.....which she tried!

The face of mischief!
