Once upon a time we were a 2 teachers trying to help guide other people's children. Now we have 3 of our own. We have been blessed with a singleton and twins. We thought the challenges were in conceiving...little did we know!
After swim lessons Mom picked up my cousin Abbey and we went to the wading pool. It was fun watching Abbey swim and splash me.
Who knew it takes 3 to do what mom can do alone? It took Aunt Mookie to hold me, Grandma to feed me and Grandpa to distract me. I thought I was suppose to relax at bedtime. What a circus!
Everyone got to listen to Aunt Jennifer read Dooly and the Ripsnort. She's such a good storyteller.
I think it is pretty funny. Well, at least I've got cute dimples!
Zoe wouldn't let me play with her cup but I kept trying to crawl, well scoot, over and take it away from her anyway. I need to teach this dog how to share.
I was so happy to see Amaya. She wanted to hold me right away.
That night we stayed at Mandy and Jeff's new house. It sure is a nice house (look at the pretty fireplace in the picture), but man was I a sweaty mess sleeping in that hot room! 
Aahhh, nothing like being back at home relaxing and playing with my best friend, Zoe. 
I had to wait for the first group of lessons to get out so it could be my turn. I liked watching the other kids swim while I waited for my turn.
Here is Daddy and I ready to swim.
Here is my little friend Celia. Her mom teaches with my mom.
After Celia it was my turn to go down the slide. Daddy figured out the trick to the slide so we could go really fast. It was so much fun.
I have swim lessons everyday next week too. Mommy will take more pictures when Daddy comes with us again next Friday.
This is Mandy with her mom and sisters. They had fun in Chicago and even brought me a present.
On Friday we had a cookout. Jaylen had fun playing with my dress up stuff. I hope I have curls like that!
Today Maddey came over for a playdate with me. We danced and sang. She also took me for a walk and I fell asleep in the stroller when she was pushing me around.
My Mom has been busy tearing wallpaper down (with G'ma Linda's help) and yesterday she painted the kitchen. I'll have to get her to take a picture to post.
Maddey and I dressed up in Laney's play stuff. We struck a pose for Aunt Valerie to take a picture.
I'm stuck around all girls and they always make me wear pink!
Couldn't see you well enough, had to take the glasses off.
This tickles and makes me giggle!
That shoots a wrap!
On Saturday my Aunt Courtney and Uncle Brady came to visit. They watched me swing in my new swing. Isn't my swing set awesome?
We went out to Uncle JJ's for Aunt Mookie's birthday. Grandpa Dave gave me a ride on his shoulders. Wow! I was so tall up there!
I was trying to take care of some business while Uncle Brady was holding me.
JJ even got down on the floor to play with me.
Happy Birthday Aunt Mookie! I was getting very tired here.
On Tuesday I wore my red, white and blue dress that Grandma Vogel gave me.
On Wednesday I wore my star shirt. Here I am with Megan. I was so excited to see her. She is here visiting all week.
On Wednesday we got to go out to lunch with Diane. Aren't we cute?
Here I am playing with my Jacques the peacock. He is my new toy. I got him because I was good when Mommy and Daddy were on vacation.
On Thursday I wore my pretty dress. I also wore a barrette in my hair for the first time. My hair is getting so long I have to style it now. I was watching Elmo when Mom took this picture and was getting frustrated because she was blocking me from Elmo.
Check back to see what I do (& wear) on the 4th of July. I'm not sure what it is all about, but I know I get to wear cute red, white and blue outfits for it!
Here I am just rolling around being silly!
Here I am ready to go to Uncle JJ's for the 4th of July celebration!
Here I am at Uncle JJ's lake with Aunt Mookie. The next day was her birthday. Happy birthday Aunt Mookie!
This celebration stuff is hard work. I was so tired at the cookout that I took a nap in my stroller.
Here is the last picture Mommy was able to take of me on the 4th of July because she dropped her camera and it broke. I really really really liked watching the fireworks. They were sure pretty in the sky.
