Black Butte

We had a really relaxing, and fun weekend in Black Butte. Adie and Eliza loved riding the scooters, swimming and just playing with the toys at the house we stayed in. Ryan and I got naps and just had fun watching the girls enjoy themselves.

Eliza was sitting at the table one morning and saw these fawns so she yelled "hey look, camels are out there!"

Eliza spent most of the weekend in this dress

Ashlynn got lots of love from her Grandma and Grandpa

Ashlynn's latest trick, she can sit up on her own now

Ash LOVED the pool

Hunting for butterflies - they needed the helmets "in case the butterflies flied on my head"

We're super grateful to our friends for sharing their house with us this weekend - THANK YOU!!!!!! We loved everything about this weekend.

Walnut Tree

Gus and Vinny - here is the new tree fort, I think you guys are going to like this! This is the old walnut tree at my parents house. It wasn't looking so healthy in its old age so the neighbor and my dad have been working on this tree fort. We all spent many many hours with the Adams boys in this tree growing up. I'm happy the next generation gets to enjoy it as much as we did.

Tried to get a cute picture of Ila to send to Annie - sorry Annie, this is what she gave me

pulling up the basket full of toys and snacks

I also have to add Ashlynn's new trick - she can get up on her knees now, she just doesn't know what to do once she gets up. She is pretty proud of herself and rocks back and forth until she crashes on her face.

Gus and Vinny

We got Carrie, Gus and Vinny for a night this week! Gus explaining the rules

Vinny ran all the way down to the blackberries- can you see him down there?

Gus being crazy on the swing - he even bailed.

As always, Gus is awesome with the baby

Who dresses these girls?

Sweet faces...see Vinny in the background terrorizing the chickens? It took a couple hours but they managed to get all of the chickens in the coop.

I love love love my sibling time and the girls cousin time.

playing

We've been sticking around home during the week lately and the girls are having fun just playing around here. Eliza ready to head over to Donna and Aaron's house

Weird...I don't know why this is flipped this way, I went back twice and turned it

playing in the sprinkler

playing girls in the playhouse with Sarah

I didn't ask them to pose here, Eliza was whining about something and I was ignoring her. When I came back they were standing like this and Adie was saying "It's ok, I'll take care of you" in her most tender voice. I got a pretty good laugh, I interpreted it as "If mom won't take care of you I will"
