Look who has a friend!

Anabelle has been carrying this baby around with her lately. It is the sweetest thing because I will say, Anabelle where is your baby?" Then, she will go and get it (if it is in sight). She likes to drag it around and hold it! Sometimes she even gives it cuddles! It is so cute!

VBS

Aidan and Lily both went to Vacation Bible School this year! They had a great time and really enjoyed the week. I was so proud of Tinker....she did so good. I remember Aidan having a really hard time when he was 3! That's my Tinker though! She can do anything and is fearless! I think they really liked it. They both keep talking about it and singing songs they learned so I would say it was a big success!

Look who is walking!

Anabelle is officially walking. That is, she does more walking now than crawling. She looks so cute and kinda walks like Frankenstein. What is so funny is all 3 of our kids basically walked around the same time 14 to 15 months. She just turned 15 months and there is no stopping her now! It is so funny to watch her walk because she is just so little! Look who is a big girl now!

Aidan and Lily think it is amazing that she can walk. We were out somewhere and I her Aidan tell another mom, "Hey, my baby can walk too."

Snuggle Bug

This baby is such a snuggler! So cute!

~Meet Me at the Muny~

Beth, Ella and Sam came up and went to the Muny! This was our first time taking the kids and it was sooo much fun! Matt went with us and Belle stayed with grandma...good thing because we each had a child on our lap the entire time! It was hot but not too hot! We saw The Little Mermaid and I must say the kids LOVED it! After each song the crowd would clap and then Aidan would lean over and say,"Is it over mom?" I would say, "No buddy. You just clap after they sing." Midway through the performance Lily leaned over and said, The Muny is awesome mommy." Oh, it just melted my heart! They were so in awe of the show. It was a really fun thing to do as a family and we are already looking forward to next year!



~Swimming in the neighbor's pool~

We are so lucky that are neighbor's let us swim in their pool whenever we want. It has definitely become a favorite past time this summer. Now that it is so hot we find ourselves over there every day! Anabelle Devaney has gotten to enjoy it a few times!

Daddy holds Belle close!

Oh...look at this cute baby swim!

Safety Town Graduation

Aidan did a Safety Town program this summer wear they teach kids pedestrian safety, bus safety, stranger danger, etc....It was two weeks long and then on the last day they had a graduation. All week long there was a mock town set up with traffic lights, etc. They rode jeeps and tricycles around the town practicing what they learn. It was really cute and I think a great program for only 37.00!

Aidan specifically asked me to wear the "yellow dress" to the graduation. He loves this dress for some reason! It was sooo cute!

Aidan and his counselor Caleb! He really liked him!
Standing proud at his graduation!
