Swim with the Fishes

Sydney is away with Jeremy's parents this week but Hayley & Addyson had some fun pool time with their friends. (Ok really- mommy needed a break with her friend Libby and it just happens that Libby's kids are Hayley & Addy's friends!)

The Bummer of the Summer

Our little monkey broke her arm on June 21, 2007.


She was in this soft splint for almost 3 weeks.

























Then she got this hard cast on July 10th. This was just a few hours after getting it and it already was FILLED with names- which is OF COURSE the privledge of having a cast. ;)

4th of July

We had a party at our house on the 4th of July. There were about 40 of our friends there (including about 20 kids). Here are a few pictures of the fun:

Sydney LOVED the sparklers




















Hayley preferred observing.























Some of our friends' kids watching the cannon race.

There were some adults there. ;)

Sydney and Hayley have really been enjoying taking tennis lessons this summer through our local Parks & Rec program.

Addy with her great grandma and great grandpa

(Gosh- it seems like I don't have many pictures of Sydney & Hayley lately. Can you tell they are very busy girls?)
Here is Addyson with my maternal grandparents on a visit to my aunt and unlce's house a few weeks ago.

Sweet Addy

Addy had a great time on Father's Day tearing up Daddy's cigar catelog. Once again- goes to show you that kids do not need toys. She probably spent about 30-45 minutes just tearing this thing up and chewing on the pages.

























Yes, she is this happy ALL of the time. (Well, unless she's tired or hungry.)

Sydney's new bedroom

Sydney has been in Oklahoma visiting Papa's kids. (My stepdad's son John and his family.) So Jeremy's mom decided that it would be fun to play "While you were out" on Sydney's bedroom. Here is her new, much more grown up, bedroom.
