Beach Bum

We had a few 90 degree days this week so we've been playing outside trying to take in the last bit of warm weather. On this particular day, Lola woke up from her nap and wanted to play in the sprinkler with our dog, Hank. I decided to lay out and watch her play while reading a magazine and catching some rays before Liv woke up. After about 15 minutes, I went in to switch some laundry and check on Liv. When I came back out, I found this.....


This and That...

While Jes got a massage (which I recommend for every new mommy, whether it's your first or fifth baby), we got to take care of Calvin!


Out of the three little girls, Liv is the only one who is as interested in Calvin as I am. She and I give him lots of love while Ella and Lola play!

For Liv's birthday on Wednesday, Grandma made cupcakes. Liv liked the cherry on the bottom!


We also got her some new shoes for her birthday.


They're perfect for our little walker!

Ella stayed with us on Thursday while Jes took her State Boards for Radiology - which she scored great on :). Here are the girls enjoying a movie. It must have been a good one because they wouldn't take their eyes off the T.V. to look at me!


Later that evening, we went out to meet Ella's new kitten. She named him Tokyo. We're not sure where she came up with the name, but she's pretty set on it!




Liv is not a big fan of cats so she sat on the swing with Grandma while we played.

Days of Summer are Gone...(almost)...

Our favorite summer activity, swimming at the pool, ended today. Our local pool closed for the season, which means that summer is nearing an end :(.

Here are a few swimming videos of Lola for you to enjoy!



And if you didn't get enough, here is Lola searching for a penny...

New Kittens

Our friends, Randy and Dianna Bislow have some new kittens. Jes is planning on keeping two at their house for Ella and Lola. We went out to their farm to meet them and to choose which ones to take home.
