Here are about two weeks worth of pics... yup. Guess that's just how its gonna be! Enjoy!

Snapped post-church two Sundays ago. She wanted a graham cracker but only if it was served to her in a cupcake wrapper.... your wish is my command, your highness. She is too darn cute to refuse something as innocent as that!

July 21st.... Olive's Birthday!
We had a fun Birthday playdate scheduled with all of Olive's little friends but Olive came down with a runny nose and a little cough so we had to cancel. I got her this kiddie pool for her Birthday so we blew it up and played for hours!
Olive wanted Evie to kick her legs as she was splashing! I love this pic!
Evie loved kicking in the water...until Olive splashed her one too many times. Then I took her out and she was sitting on my lap when I suddenly realized Olive was holding my camera under water and saying "fishy!". This was the last good picture was camera ever took.

We had some yummy Birthday cupcake with Grandma and Grandpa R on Sunday. Olive wanted Pink frosting and since she cant have any food dye, she helped me blend up some strawberries and dumped them into the frosting. It was heavenly, so fresh tasting and even a few little crunchy strawberry seeds in the fluff! Yum!

Last Friday we headed to the Splash Pad with friends. Evie really likes the sound of water and she napped in the warm sunshine. She looks so peaceful here!






We were invited to the Hatchs for some delicious Barbeque chicken and lots of yummy food last Saturday. I so appreciated this! I guess the weekdays are easier- I'm used to Jason being at work most the day and after dinner, bedtime comes pretty fast, and then I temporarily leave my life for whatever novel I am engrossed in that week. But the weekends are long and lonely.
Lilly and Olive are so cute together!

Tuesday, August 2nd.
Great Grandma R turned 90 last week!! So we all headed up to spend a day with her!

Evie was fussy and worn out from the long car ride. Uncle Stephen asked if her could take her and this was the scene 10 mins later. Sometimes that is just what a momma needs! I was so grateful for his kindness and Evie was sure comfy in his arms!
Grandma R and Aunt Judy!


Uncle Vince, Great Grandma R, and Grandpa R! I love Jason's Grandma! We don't live close so even though we have been married 7 years, I am just now starting to feel close and the love just pours out of her. Everyone of the kids and grand kids wrote a favorite memory or story about their Grandma and Grandma R scrap booked them all beautifully into a memory book for her. We sat together and listened to the stories and reminisced. It was wonderful.
Driving home...tired babies!Evie has begun really trying to communicate with her cooing. Its adorable!
