Sunday Best

Russ didn't have to work, so we decided it was high time we went to church. We geared up in our 'Sunday Best' and headed to church, with a surprise stop at the club for lunch. What a great way to spend the day as a family...together!

Making a Splash!

A weekend visit during the summer wouldn't be complete with out making a splash in Aunt Allie's pool! Lexie showed off her skills while Olivia showed some other 'talents'. Let's just say Aunt Allie had to shock the pool because if it. The girls love the water and loved splashing with Nini and Aunt Allie!

I don't know who was having more fun!
Loving Aunt Allie
Hmmm...one of these arms looks verrrrrrry different!!! Can you guess which one???

Tea for 2...or 4...or 5!

Lexie and Olivia have come to love (an expect) a tea party when we go to GG's and Gpa's house. GG usually has some sort of sweet treat, along with some milk--and the girls 'dress up' while they enjoy their goodies on the patio. Well, this visit they were in for a surprise! GG managed to find a tea house that caters to all tea lovers. The girls had their very own tea party---with real tea pots, tiaras, in a tea room! They were over the moon! Thanks GG--we all had a blast!

Finally the moment she had been waiting for...her tea arrivedBoth of the girls got to decorate their very own cookie--this is Lexie's careful creation

Olivia on the other hand preferred the 'dump them out' method
Each of the girls got their very own tea pot to use---they were adorable
Olivia was very intrigued with the whole thing---she even got her little pinky in the air

Thanks again GG for our first 'official' tea party! We had a great time and the girls and I can't wait to do it again soon!

Molly's 4th Birthday

We were FINALLY able to help Molly celebrate her birthday...it only took us 4 years, but none the less, we were sooooo excited to make the trip to partake in the festivities!!! Molly is very into Toy Story, which was the theme for the big event. Becky did an amazing job prepping for the celebration and the food was delicious! The weather held out and the birthday party goers had a great time! Thanks for everything Becky...we had a great time!
