Summer Fun!

These pics are just us having fun. Some are from the Children's museum, some are from walks. We just like having fun!

Enjoy!

Stitches? Yikes!

Yup, Mackenzie got her first stitches this summer. She was showing me a game on a chair--it didn't quite work out the way she planned. When we got to the ER, the first thing she told the nurse was that IU Stinks! She got three blue stitches and the nurses and doctor were all very nice. She said she was going to dream about how nice they were. We were then back on our way to continue our day. She says she will never do that again! We sure hope not!

Poor thing!

Ouch! Right before getting them out.

Stitches coming out--yay!

July 4th!

July 4th is always fun for our family! We always go to the parade, plus it is mommy's birthday! This year mommy turned 32 on the 4th and uncle Mike turned 35 on the 3rd. Grandma and grandpa had their annual get together.

These pics were taken at the carnival---Kenzie loved the ferris wheel and train this year. She also won a trumpet at a game.

Here are a few parade pictures:

Happy Birthday Mommy! Happy Birthday America!

Sisters having fun!

Besides VBS, we have had a busy summer! Gymnastics, Mackenzie's first (and hopefully last!)stitches, visiting the parks, swimming, staying in and out of the heat wave, storytime for both girls at the library, bike rides, playdates with friends, visiting the children's museum, and just having fun!

Aubrey has been busy herself this summer. She has gone from crawling to pulling up to starting to cruise along furniture! She loves to show what a big girl she is....she just got her first tooth last week and loves to eat the food we are eating! So messy! Such a fun age!

Here are a few pictures of the girls having fun and relaxing!

This baby doll is one of Aubrey's bedtime friends--the dolly and a stuffed rocket!

Hold on tight Aubrey!

Come on, let's go outside!

These pictures below were taken when we walked to get some ice cream and Kenzie rode her bike--such fun!

Here is a video at the park earlier in the summer of Aubrey doing "so big"!

VBS 2011

VBS this year was a lot of fun for Mackenzie--she got to be in the preschool class and do all the stuff the big kids got to do! One of her classmates from her preschool class during the school year was in her same group--this was the little guy who had a crush on her. It was nice there was someone there they each knew, but we had to have a few talks about just being friends. They liked to hold hands and be by each other. The best part was learning about Jesus and having fun! Aubrey enjoyed being in the nursery with me! We did have to miss the last day cause Kenzie was sick--bummer! She did get to participate in the singing at church that Sunday though.

Enjoy!

Just some fun pics!

These are just some silly shots of the girls. The one of Jim and I is one that Kenzie took--she did a good job!

Enjoy!

Soccer Girl!

Kenzie played soccer during the spring and her last game was her best game! She came so close to getting a goal--we are so proud of her! Here are some pics of her with her team and trophy!

So cute and adorable to watch 4 yr olds play soccer!

The Pier and last of the beach pics!

We visited the Gulf Shores State Park one night and went out on the pier. Lots of people fishing and we could see tons of fish in the water! Those were some serious fishermen! Watch out!

Family picture--it was windy and chilly on the pier!

Look closely and you can see lots of little fish swimming around.

A view looking out.

Beautiful water.

Here are some last beach pictures from the morning we left.

Sisters!

One last family picture--so pretty at the beach!


We have to get handprints and footprints!




Mackenzie on the boardwalk--lovin' it!

By bye Gulf Shores....See you next time! You will be missed!

USS Alabama and more beach pics....finally!

I know, I know, it's been forever since I have blogged! Busy summer! But I am combining two posts to get vacation pics done, then on to soccer pics! I will try to keep more updated!

My dad, brother, Jim, and Mackenzie went to see the USS Alabama in Mobile one day. Here are some pics from that.
