Back to life...back to reality...

Wow! Summer has passed and we are back to busy-ness! I haven't had a lot of time to blog lately so here goes...
In August, our precious niece Makayla was born!
Here are the girls ready for church!
Finley came down with a fever virus. She never falls asleep on me!
We took the girls for a family date night to Macaroni Grill. Finley was running fever so we sat outside.

We renewed our membership at the zoo so we can enjoy some Fall zoo time! Can't wait for Boo at the Zoo! (Oh, and Addi got bitten by a Lorakeet as she does every time we feed them. You'd think she'd learn to not put her finger near their mouths.)
This was Finley's first time walking at the zoo. She had a blast and didn't want to ride in the stroller. She was Ms. Independent!
We remembered the girls' bathing suits. They loved playing in the fountains!
Jett, Dartmouth, and Grandpa came with us.

I had to include a picture of my new Hairless Dumbo rat (a classroom pet). Isn't she neat?!
Addi met her new teacher Ms. Suzie and is having lots of fun in her 4K class.
We celebrated Braden's 9th birthday at the lake. Aunt Glenda brought her homemade ice cream maker. The girls helped make it! It was delicious!!!!
Emily is like a sleeping pill for Finley. Fin always takes the best naps on her!
Eme and Addi begged to have a sleepover so brave Julie took them to her house to spend the night. They had a great time and played well on Sunday night but Monday was a different story! Julie said that when she finished drying her hair she came out and heard the girls fussing and Tucker putting them both in timeout :-) That's all they needed to remember their manners and play nicely again.
Finley's hair is long enough for a small ponytail, though it doesn't stay put for long.
more lake pics (they got out of order)

This was Finley's first time walking at the park. She climbed up the slides, ran around, and had the best time!

back to the lake pics

The kids had so much fun hitting the piƱata!




the birthday boy


Eme and Addi begged to sleep together on the blow up mattress at the lake but we decided it wasn't the best place to try that.
Hopefully it won't be so long before I blog again.
