Longest Post of Pictures Ever!

You'll have to forgive me for neglecting my blog.

I've been bad! 

That being said... you'll have to forgive the million pictures I'm posting of our entire summer.

 VIENA

 BAYA

I find this picture so cute of Keira.

Early in the morning watching cartoons.

 The girls looks so little to me here. This is the beginning of the summer.

Surprisingly they listened to me when I asked them to stand against the wall for a picture.

 The girls LOVE being outside.

Pinwheels are always fun.

Checking out the train from our house. 

You can see it way down the end of the block.

Keira loves washing cars with her Daddy.

 Lots of fun walks as a family.

Lots of fun in the sun and in the water.

Baya always loves a hat or headband first thing in them morning.

She's our little fashionista and loves accessories.

 TRIP TO VIRGINIA!

A 10 hour drive with 3 little ones.

Thankfully we survived without too many meltdowns.

The girls LOVE Papaw and enjoy fighting over his kisses and cuddles.

Papaw's first time taking the girls in the choo-choo wagon.

A special ride with Papaw in the choo-choo wagon.

The girls loved this fun ride.

Baya is definitely Papaw's little girl.

She couldn't get enough cuddles in while visiting.

 Baya loves her Papaw.

Little Kisses

My parents were awesome and watched the girls for us in VA for a day so we could go to Busch Gardens. It was the best date ever! Thanks Mom and Dad! 

The girls found it so fun eating popcorn in the pool inside the house.

 KEIRA

 BAYA & VIENA

 Keira loves drinking water out of my measuring cups.

She comes to me all the time wanting me to put water in them.

 Pet store fun.

KEIRA 

Lots of ice cream this summer.

VIENA

 BAYA

The girls love wearing their glasses.

 Keira doesn't take too many naps nowadays. But I find it funny when she falls asleep in the car that she has to throw her blanket over her head.

Keira's new hairdo lately.

Little piggy tails.

All smiles.

These girls could live in water.

 One of the biggest messes that Keira has ever made in her room.

Lots of fun!

HAPPY 4TH OF JULY

 My amazing friend took some awesome pics of us for fun.

Love them. Thanks V!

Gee-Gee came to visit us this summer and we all had so much fun. The girls love her and I always enjoy her company and help.

Thanks Gee-Gee for always coming out and spoiling us.

Keira loves bunnies!

Zoo Trip

July 15th my Grandma Hanson turned 100.

We had a family reunion in Minnesota to celebrate her Big Birthday!

I traveled with my parents and other siblings while Brody stayed home with the girls.

It was a long drive and short stay and since our girls don't travel so well we thought it best that I go and they stay behind. It worked out well and Daddy survived the few days with Mommy (me) around.

GRANDMA HANSON

100 never looked so Good!

HEIDI, KIRTY, PETRA & MABIN

Family fun the whole time.

Mikey wasn't able to make it but his wife Petra and their little cutie Mabin came out and surprised everyone. It was awesome! I love Petra and it seems like we've known each other forever.

The Big Celebration!

Time to Party with Grandma!

After Minnesota my sister Kirty was able to spend some time with me in OH.

It was a BLAST!

We played lots of scrabble and I scored points with the family for using the word "POOP".

We like potty humor...

While Kirty was here visiting poor Viena injured herself and had to be taken to the ER for stitches.

She fell in the basement on her face and her teeth broke through her skin.

Poor girl! I was grateful that my sister was here to keep me calm and help watch my other kiddos.

Brody was an hour and half away moonlighting that evening.

Waiting in the ER.

 Viena was a trooper and got 3 stitches. It was good to see her smiling the following morning.

The girls love to pretend sleep.

I love it! Haha!

Sweet picture of Viena playing with baby dolls.

All the girls are getting into baby dolls lately.

 Feeding Ducks

Tetherball fun at the park.
