Funny Girls.....

I heard the girls giggling today while I was in the bathroom fixing my hair, so I decided I had better investigate. This is what I found.....

Too funny!!!!!

summer time.....


Here is one of Brooke's first successful sits. When she falls its pretty funny, since she doesn't try and catch herself at all. She just flops over. This picture makes it look like her legs are a lot shorter than they should be....:-)


Kaelah, Brooke and I. Brooke was too interested in the water to look up. :-)

Brooke's first chance on the swing....


I took Kaelah and Seth to the park yesterday and Brooke and I just hung out in the shade while they played. They just recently remodeled the park so I didn't realize that they had baby swings. When I did, I decided that Brooke should try them out. I was expecting her to be nervous, but instead....she absolutely loved it. She laughed so hard. It was so cute.

Odds and Ends....


Justin wanted me to get a pic on their tractors that they had lined up. He is so cute.


Justin with Jada. She loves him.



Jade with her Uncle Jason

Fun with Jada


Of course Aunt Holly had to play with the hair when she comes home. Jade is HORRIBLE at keeping her hair in ANYTHING. As soon as you are not looking she tears it out. The little stinker. But we did manage to keep her hair up for some pics.

This pic was taken just before she toppled off the swing..... I know, I know, I am terrible. The ground was extremely soft and I broke her fall anyway. :-) Kaelah wore this outfit when she was 2 going on 3 and Jade just turned 1!!! She is destined to be a TALL girl, me thinks!


I absolutely love this pic. She was playing peek a boo with my mom. You can tell both of them were really into it. :-)

Yeah, no smiles for Aunt Holly. I am going to start calling her, little stubborn.....

July 4th.....


I went to Michigan to see the fam this weekend. We then traveled up north to Harbor Springs, MI. It is so beautiful up there. We had a wonderful time. The day couldn't have been any more gorgeous if we had special ordered it. The people that Erin nannies for is up there for a month so this pic is of Jade sitting on their front porch oohing about something.

How is this for a Marilyn Monroe like shot. The first time we put Emma in the water, she was VERY unhappy, because she had just woken up from a nap, but we tried a little later and this was her general reaction.

Too funny!

Emma and her momma!


There was a parade we watched and Jade decided she needed to give me a hug. I thought this pic was so funny.


My Emma Em and I


The girls all tuckered out and big old Grandpa being the babysitter while we shopped.


The first time we took Emma to the water...if you could see her face you would see that she was crying.


Emma and Erin


Jeremy, Myself and Liss


Jeremy loves Jada

Emma and Erin having some fun watching the parade.



A rare, good pic of Emma. She hates her picture taken.


Emma REALLY loves Jade

My wonderful parents! :-)

The busy weekend....


There is this great ice cream stand in Mason that makes the cutest cones for kids. Kaelah is addicted. Seth was too cool for the cones, the first few times that we visited it, but he finally broke down last night and got one and he was thrilled with how his Santa turned out. Kaelah of course was thrilled with her elephant. :-)


I don't usually have Seth with me anymore, but their mom was trying to move yesterday so I had Seth and Kaelah. They go from fighting like cats and dogs to having great fun together. This pic is the result of one too many fights and I made them hug till they laughed.



Just a random pic of Kaelah and my favorite doggy dog, Riley. Love him.


Jada and Lizzie Bit had great fun together. Here they are kissing on the stairs. So cute!


Awwwww!!!!


Seth is at the stage where pictures just aren't cool, hence the face. As you can tell, Jada was tired.


Jade and Maria playing together. You gotta love the look on Maria's face! lol



Elizabeth and KK are great friends. They love each other so much.



And my picture of the year so far! I love this. Maria stole her Daddy's cone and had a blast with her first Graeters Ice Cream experience. This is priceless! :-)

Jade's photo fiasco....


My mom and Jade came to visit Aunt Holly and Aunt Erin while Liss went to Georgia for family day to see Nick. So of course I had to get her picture taken. I never get the chance so I took this opportunity. They got here Thursday night, we immediately went to Erin's and had a good dinner and sat around and chatted. Friday, Lissa left, and Mom, Jade, Rhoda, Elizabeth, Kaelah and I all went to the outlets by Columbus to shop all day, came home, went out to eat with Ryan and his family and then the next morning, went to the zoo, and then shopped and then I had to work....suffice it to say we stayed REALLY busy. Friday, Jade fell in the store and banged her head on a clothes rack and then Friday night, while her and Elizabeth were playing, Lizzie bit accidently fell on top of Jade shoving her head into the cement. So we have two beautiful bruises on the forehead. Wahhhhhh!!!!! :-)

This picture is pretty self explanatory. If any of you know Jade very well, you know that this is a great picture of her personality when she is upset. :-)

But, finally we got a shy smile. Yay!


This was the last picture when we gave up! She wasn't having anymore!!!
