Practice time!
On the field. She's #4 in the yellow.
Who's boy is that anyway?! We looked over where Aaron and Ashton were playing and see that Ashton's pants were down around his knees. That's Ashton for you. Not a care in the world!
Another favorite game while Ella is playing soccer. Who can climb the highest on the fence. My next blog post will most likely be, "Guess who broke their arm trying to climb the highest on the fence." :) I love my boys.
I even got a little flower clippy in her hair! (It didn't last much longer after I took the picture)
Yes, that is a ponytail in her hair!! And it actually lasted all day.
The boys held up our comforter as a back drop like we did when she was 4 months, and I think we got some cute pics again!
She did try to crawl away- but she was grinning. :)
So happy. We love you Livs!
A splash park near my brother's house. It was freezing cold!! My brother's wife and I are huddled under blankets and telling the kids- "It's not that cold, go have fun!" :)
Adam had quite the cheering section. His mom came (his dad raced too!), and my sisters and their spouses, and my brother came. My brother's wife decided sitting on bleachers while pregnant- for several hours- didn't sound like the best of times. (smart girl)
There were 2 race tracks. Adam was on the drag race track, and there was a circle track, and some race cars were practicing. Ashton was in heaven- Ella and Aaron thought it was pretty cool too.
We were at the park and Livia fell asleep in the swing!! This is when she was almost asleep. I thought it was the sweetest thing. She loves the swing.
Yes- we really gave our baby a pickle. A dill pickle to be exact. She loved it!! Adam gave it to her mostly to see her pull a face- but she would not let it go. It's her new favorite food. They are great for teething babies apparently.
Now take special note of 2 things in this picture. #1 the coolest Spiderman shoes in the world. and #2 the happiest boy in the world. If only we had learned earlier on how easy this boy was to please- he would have a whole closet full of Spiderman shoes. He shows everyone, and talks about nothing else. This is his world right now. He has cool shoes.
Sorry this picture is sideways for some reason. That is Aaron up there on that pole. Aaron is our climber. He will climb ANYTHING. He is really good at climbing! We have to watch him though. He'll climb in door frames, he loves to climb swing sets obviously, and the other day, he climbed to the top of a yield sign while we were waiting to pick up Ella. He calls it his "sticky power". :)
Ella is officially in 2nd grade!!! Crazy! I think it gets harder for me to send her every year. She has a guy teacher this year named Mr. Blauer. She really likes him so far, so we're keeping our fingers crossed.
She was all smiles when we picked her up on her first day. Let's hope it lasts. She did look adorable though. :)
These two look like little miniatures of their dads!! (Aaron and Dylan)
Livia didn't quite know what to think about the sand. But she loved getting her toes wet.
Here's Marshall- he really had fun crawling around and exploring everything!
Even Max went. Yep. Wet dog, then sandy wet dog, then sandy wet dog all over the blanket. Gross.- I think we'll leave him home next time! But it was a great way to spend an afternoon with friends!
I love this picture! It was so fun to watch Adam have fun with his kiddos!
Terrible picture, yes- but this is just showing that I even went down. I didn't get dressed for the occation because I thought I would be holding Livia the whole time.
Livia LOVED the swing! We are going to have to put up a baby swing at our house.
Ella had so much fun! She even went down without a tube!
This is our new run around car. It actually seats 5 believe it or not.
And supposedly it gets about 50 miles to the gallon....we shall see....with the way Adam drives I really doubt that.
