Bye Bye Baby

...hello BIG GIRL bed...

We are in the process of putting the girls together in Ava's room. Tonight Jane is trying out her toddler bed....we'll practice for awhile before she moves in with Ava on the bottom bunk. It was an exciting night!

Horse Camp

Ava went to horse camp last week and had a blast!

She learned how to take care of "her" horse, Jolee. She washed, brushed, and even picked up after her.


On the last morning of camp, We went to watch Ava ride. Fun fun fun!

Sweet Treats

We made some tasty treats this weekend....I saw these patriotic strawberries on Queen Sara's blog. We tried them out...they were yummy and oh so sweet!



....Homemade ice-cream was yummmmmy...


Bedtime stories with cute cousins was also a sweet treat...

Chocolate Water

We played in the lake on Sunday. Jane called it "Chocolate Water." Here's to hoping she didn't drink the chocolate deliciousness. Jane splashed and Ava rode the jet-ski with Scott.

Fireworks & Forts

We had a nice 4th of July weekend at the lake...

....fireworks on Saturday night...

...the kids enjoyed a huge fort on the deck all weekend, until the rain took the fun away.
