the girls outside enjoying a little summer treat. elayna just finished up her swimming lessons and did a great job! but boy am i glad i don't have to sit out in the heat for an hour everyday with avery constantly asking "where my swim suit?" she couldn't understand why she couldn't get in the pool too!
i am a huge music person. i listen while doing dishes, laundry, bills... couldn't live without my ipod! just some random music i've been listening to lately, mostly mellow stuff. the new coldplay album is awesome by the way!
our fouth of july was spent with lots of family, swimming, yummy brisket and fireworks at the park. dan's sister's husband joined us for the weekend. we loved having uncle travis stay with us! the girls had tons of fun with him. the fireworks were actually pretty good this year! i wanted to take a few photos of the awesome finale, but avery fell asleep in my lap. i don't see how she could sleep through all that noise!
saturday we went to the beach with all the family. we had a great time! these two are so cute playing together
the kids spent a lot of time digging a huge hole in the sand
even uncle travis enjoyed digging in the hole.
avery stayed away from the waves and played in the sand.
kyla loves her mermaid tail!
we've been taking lots of trips to the library and all three of the girls joined the reading club. elayna loves reading to her little sisters.
