Fun in the yard

Here are some flowers that Ashlyn helped pick out for our house. While I was busy planting them Ashlyn decided to play in the pool. This was way more fun than getting dirty and possibly getting bugs on her.



Here is her one of her cute swim suits

While I was planting Jake was busy working on the front of the house mowing, weedeating, and washing the driveway, etc.....Here is his very nicely manicured front yard. Last year this front yard was all barkdust. We (mostly Jake) were able to clean out all the barkdust, have top soil delivered and plant seed. This summer the yard looks amazing.

Look who is 6 months old!

Yesterday Olivia turned 6 months old. She is so much fun, now. We had her 6 month check-up today. She weighs 14lbs 12oz and is 25 3/4 inches long.

On the premie charts she is in the 75% for height and 70% for weight. Technically she is a normal size baby, but because she had such and early start they still adjust her age. She is the adjusted age of 5 months, but developementally she is doing everything a 6 month old does.

She had to have 4 shots today and was so mad she turned purple.

Here she was starting her roll, but the camera died so I could not take the rest of the pictures of her going over all the way.
Needless to say she is absolutely perfect. :)

Ashlyn's new outift

We went shopping at Old Navy and Ashlyn picked out a new outfit for herself. It is sooo cute. Here she is modeling it for everyone to see.

Family Reunion Weekend

We spent time with Jacob's side of the family on Saturday . Olivia was able to see her Great Grandma for the second time.

Ashlyn was tired of playing with all the kids and wanted to spend time looking at her books.

We had a really good time playing badmitten for several hours.

Just to go on record my sister-in-law and I beat her husband and Jacob in a friendly game of 2 on 2. We finished the day off by going out to the Old Spaghetti Factory for dinner. Very long day!

Happy 26th B-day!

One of my presents from Jacob and the girls was this glider. I love it for evening story time with Ashlyn and Olivia. Once I start rocking Olivia cannot keep her eyes open to save her life.

Thanks Mom for the flowers!

Who says kids can't be stuntmen or stuntwomen?

Ashlyn and Jake having a good time

I was bored today so I decided to just snap some pics with our camera. It was fun to see what I could capture. These are some of my favorites.
