Family Time

Friday Night was family game night. Fibbers and Headbanz were on the menu. 

The two most rotten things in this house. 

Abi went with Alex to a gun show and the other two tagged along while I antique shopped. We had a good time. It's not always easy looking with the girls but we enjoyed our time. 

DeGray was on the to do list for the day too. We met a faster than the average turtle on our way out. 

We also watched as he ran full speed off of the ledges in the parking lot twice. Alex shamed me for not having my camera ready when this occurred. He managed to make it to the beach in tact. 

So long fearless turtle (who was named Rosie and Maria within the five minutes that we got to know it). 

Today

Living up the summer time is our goal!

We have spent a lot of time in the water and checking out new spots to hang out. 

One of my favorite things to do is lay back and look at the sky. As long as the girls aren't trying to drown each other while I relax, then it's a very enjoyable time. 

We have had a slipNslide that was ripped by our special Daisy Dog. So we got creative and drug out the baby pool. The girls had a blast even though they were pretty much on top of each other the entire time. They really had fun trying to drain it. 

We all hope your summer is going equally as entertaining!!!

Splash Park

We have been trying to savor as much summer as we can. 

Pop Ice

The splash park at War Memorial was fun too! It's free and a really neat place to explore. 

I think Makayla was a little surprised. 

Walkin'

Lately, there have been a lot of walks.
One weekend we participated in the NAMI walk. The National Alliance for Mental Illness is an important part of the community. People need support and help when dealing with mental illnesses. We were proud to be a part of the event! It was awesome to see so many participants.

Last weekend was the first Walk for the Waiting event here in Little Rock. It's to raise awareness and funds for the children still waiting in foster care to be adopted. The money is used to train foster and adoptive parents in order for the waiting children to have a forever family. This cause is close to our heart and meant a lot to us.

We have had some weekends with a lot of meaning! I hope the girls take something away from it all. And that others may be encouraged to get involved and support your community one way or another!

Day at the Zoo

Olivia's Kindergarten field trip was the Little Rock Zoo. We had a really good time together. It's always nice to get to spend one on one time with the girls.

Olivia was a social butterfly. She jumped around and said hello to all of her friends.

She was really excited that I was there. I'm hanging on to all the times that she is happy that I am with her.

It was a great day that I hope neither of us ever forget!!

Picnic and Newhope

The girls and I are pretty random sometimes. They were playing outside last week and we decided to have a picnic. It was really hot and short lived but we enjoyed it while it lasted. Poor Daisy was beside herself while she was chained up and the girls were eating.

Meanwhile, everyone is growing up like crazy. Just take a look at Livi and Daze.

The kiddos took a trip to Newhope with their daddy a couple of weeks ago. They ended up at the McBay Pond with some squirmy stinky fish. They talked about the trip for days. Makayla was a little freaked out by her slimy fish. I think they had a blast!

We are still busy with life in general (Luke everyone else in the world). I'm hoping some more posts make it in here soon.
