Kindergarten!

Can you believe this? I can't.  My little girl started Kindergarten this year.  She is enjoying it and was nominated as the student of the month!  We think she's pretty awesome!

A quick snapshot of summer

I'm well aware that I have done a horrible job updating this blog this year.  I was thinking how sad it was that I haven't written about all the things we have been up to and all the silliness of these two girls. I WILL do better starting NOW!

 This girl.  She the sweetest little thing, but also HIGH SPEED! I think this smile tells it all.

 Audrey is still in love with her chickens.  We have 30ish...I think? And yes, they all have names.

 They both adore their Daddy and the feeling is mutual!

 We took a hike to the Cascades over the summer.  Audrey hiked the entire way and back!

 One of the highlights of summer was our slip-n-slide.  Our grass was ruined for a good long while, but they had a blast!

 Audrey showed her chicken, Dotless, at the Newport fair pet show.  She is the proud owner of 4 Newport fair ribbons.

Beautiful girls on the inside and out!

Goodbye Summer

17 Months!

This little girl turned 17 months old today! As you can tell, she is a bit of a ham! She loves to wrestle with Daddy and squeals whenever he gets her "sweet meat".  She enjoys being her big sissy's shadow, and does a pretty good job keeping up!  She hardly ever sits still, unless she is sitting on your lap reading her favorite book, Jamberry.  She's a mess!!

Pretending to sleep on Daddy's pillow. 

Doing a little front porch rocking while Sissy is at school.

Eating their "bumbees" (bunny crackers).

Did I mention she wants to be just like her big sis? 

She loves her "bacbacs"!

Doesn't she have the sweetest smile??
