Temps and Tiredness!

6 p.m. after daycare this past week...need I say more! They are in daycare one day a week so mom can work.

Happy Father's Day!

The girls and I sent dad on a scavenger hunt again this year to find his presents!! Here, the girls are helping him read his card with his first clue!

Summertime!








Loveable Em!

Emma likes taking care of everyone in the house by covering them up with her FAVORITE blankie!! Josie get's it the most often, and here, the blanket was hidden (I try to spread the love to other blankie's) so she improvised and used kitchen towels!!

Spoiled at Grandma's
















Since I'm off work for the summer, the girls and I went to Sioux City for a couple days to visit. Unfortunately these are the only two pics I got!! Grandma M. spoiled the girls with pool fun and swings! They hate to be done with the swings, but it really wears us out!! We also visited Grandpa B. and mom's friend Courtney. I'm mad at myself that I didn't get pictures there with her 6 week old twins! Let's just say the girls wreaked havoc at that house and weren't sure about those babies and mom holding them!! One minute they would use nice touches, the next, WHACK in the face!! One minute shy and still, the next, climbing on tables! Ella even tried climbing on in the baby swings too (I guess I should be thankful the babies weren't in it at the time)!! She's was not to happy with mom the whole trip home either, which they both didn't sleep a wink!! They just aren't traveling well at this point!! Too busy to be locked up in the car for more than 10 minutes!!

Bikes and outside

We finally hooked up the bikes to the bike stroller and went on a bike ride the other night...the girls were in heaven, as Dad was tired!! Last couple pics are of us playing outside! They really like to be outside and pick up sticks (Ella) and get down and dirty in the mulch (Emma)!!


KC Trip

We were all exhausted after this trip...the girls played hard with all the cousins! It was mom and dad's first real experience with them not needing us to sit on the floor and play with them...they wanted to be with the big kids!! These pics are with Kaya and Bailey at an indoor play area at one of the malls.

311 Concert

The whole fam went to KC this past weekend so mom and dad could go to the 311 concert on Saturday night!! We met up with some friends of Travis' from high school, who are pictured here, as well as the Lybersis' (sorry, not pictured!)!!

Big Girl Jammies

First pic, is the girls climbing (as always) on the TV stand while we had it cleared off to have the carpets cleaned today (long over due). Next, is the girls picking out their books for story time before bed, showing off their new summer night gowns!!

Attempt 384

I was trying to get the girls to "pose" to show off their sandals that they just HAVE to wear right now! This is what I got!! (That's Emma's butt shot, she likes to look at you upside down, through her legs, but I was again, too slow!)

Happy Birthday Daddy!!

Dad's birthday present from mom!! He is a Gemini, which means twin, so this is a symbol of the one and only "sign" we were to have twins!! Once the girls are a bit older, he will be adding to this!!

Going to Grandma's!!

I guess they were eager (and mom and dad were too slow) to get to Grandma Mary and Grandpa Goob's!!
