Paige wanted her picture taken by herself too.

Up bright and early for breakfast

My little kindergartner

Emma started school today. She had a great day. She was so excited to go all summer and had a blast her first day and can't wait to go back tomorrow. Paige starts pre-school next Monday. I thought she would be sad when we dropped Emma off and she was a little but she said she was excited to be able to go home and watch Dora and not have to watch The Suite Life of Zac and Cody which Emma always wants to watch. Pretty funny!

First Day of Ballet This Year

These are pictures of my cousin Megan's twins. They are about 5 months old in these pictures and were so cute. The first two pictures are of Evan and the others are of Ella. I had a lot of fun meeting them for the first time. My girls were so jealous they didn't get to see them that I promised I would take lots of pictures

My awesome husband was kind enough to keep track of our little munchkins so I could fly to AZ to see my family and go on a girls trip with my friends. We had so much fun.

Emma got her ears pierced today.

Emma got her ears pierced today. She was so excited and she didn't cry. She was so brave. She keeps looking at herself in the mirror and is trying to use the excuse that she can't do things like pick up toys because she has to be careful with her ears. She has been asking for awhile and her 6th birthday is next month so I told her we could get them done as an early birthday present.

Camping at Jellystone Park with Yogi Bear

Alex made a campfire the last night. This kids were so tired that they only lasted about and hour before they were falling a sleep in their chairs.

It was Scott's (Jenny's husbands) birthday and we grilled over at their cabin and had a little party. The kids loved the party hats and glasses.

Master Chef Alex

This is Jenny's youngest Wyatt and Chase. Chase is 4 months older.

Emma was picked to lead the pledge of allegiance at the flag raising ceremony with Yogi bear.

At the petting zoo. Too muddy with all the rain so we looked at the animals from outside the fence.

There was a water park we spent most of Saturday at and we were lucky because it was directly behind our camp spot.

The girls love the bunk beds in our camper and were excited to get to sleep on them again. There were a few fights on who would get the top but Emma won since she is the oldest. She was nice to let Paige visit up top.

We met my cousin Jenny and her family and some of her friends camping this past weekend. We had a great time. The campground was only about 45 minutes from our house and his a Yogi Bear themed campground called Jellystone Park. We have an RV we stayed in and my cousin rented a cabin. There was a lot to do there and it was a nice, close getaway.
