Celebrating at American Girls

Nana took us to American Girls on Friday to have a birthday lunch for Rylann, Marin, and Ellery.

Two birthday cousins.

Giving the baby dolls a drink.  Marin's Biddy Baby Annie was en route from Houston, so Baby Mollie came instead.

Make a wish!

Yummy.

Gracyn had a special dessert, too.

Thank you, Nana.  We had so much fun!

This Guy

Happy Father's Day to this guy.  He can toast a killer waffle, dodge Nerf gun ammo, accessorize a petite princess, and lead a piggy pile charge.  Oh, and he's also the designated nail clipper around our house.  Thanks for all you do.  We love you, Daddy!!! 

Four Times Two

4 year ago today our precious twins were born.  Happy Birthday, Marin Jane and Ellery Kate.  We love you so, so, so, so much.

Garden Adventures

We started the week with an outing with the Daultons to the Dallas Arboretum on Tuesday.  It was a perfect morning to let the kids explore the children's garden.  The only hiccup occurred when Ellery fell into a swampy wetland that surrounds an exhibition area.  She was dirty and soaking wet, but her primary concern was that it could have contained alligators.  Fortunately, we all lived to tell the tale.

Princesses and Pirates

Bowling, ping-pong playing pirates and foosball shooting, scooter riding princesses made up cousin Avonlea's 4th birthday party.  What a fun day we had celebrating this special little gal.

Finished!

 Let summer officially begin around here...As of this afternoon, we are finished with school.  Let the staying-up-late swimming, bug-catching, dirty feet and sticky popsicle fun begin.

Two Teeth in Two Days

When Liam looses teeth, he seems to do it in pairs.  Yesterday his fifth tooth fell out, and today he lost his sixth.  Both of them at school.  Although not as drastic as his missing front teeth were, his holey little grin makes me smile.

Perfect 10!

It's not every day you score a perfect 10 and take the gold in gymnastics at the Olympics.  Way to go, Bushwar girls!
