Our Daily Life - Volume 37

More cell phone pics from our day to day life:
 
We spend most evenings outside, and lately we have spent much of that time frog hunting.
 
Hope with a baby frog she found

 Juliana wanted to help Daddy with lawn chores

 Bubbles!

 Juliana in one of her three choo choo shirts.  After choo choo trains, her Steelers' shirts are next in line on her list of faves.  I picked out the skirt to add a little girly touch.
 Sand table fun

 Saturday afternoon picnic lunch (or pic pic lunch as Juliana says)
 Hope's family portrait.  Joe is on the left.  I am on the right (I am blue because I wear a blue bathing suit when I swim with the girls.)  Juliana is next to me in the pink princess dress.  And Hope is the other princess - the one with the extra pizazz on her skirt and the extra long eye lashes (or lash eyes as Hope calls them.)
 Playing ball in the swimming pool.
 Love her.
 Hope still occasionally plays with food like a one year old.  Here is her cream cheese face.

 Fun times with a sprinkler:



 My favorite flower
 Juliana and Joe on Father's Day
 Twice in the last month both girls have slept until 7 a.m. - I am waiting for this to become the norm, at least on the weekends.
 Berries and flowers in our back yard.  I love our back yard.

Our Daily Life - Volume 35

More blurry cell phone pics from our day to day life:
 
I love it when I am upstairs and look down into the playroom to see the girls playing quietly and cooperatively.
 Hope fell asleep in the car - this really doesn't look comfortable.
 She was just supposed to get her feet wet.
 Juliana rockin' a game of hide and seek.
 A night out at the ice cream shop:
 Juliana picked off the sprinkles to eat.

Fun Day at the Park

A couple of weeks ago, the girls and I surprised my parents who were at a family reunion.  It was at a park with many playgrounds and the kids has a blast playing for a few hours.
 
Hope was super excited that I let her take off her shoes and wade in a creek.
 The girls played a lot with my Dad, who was not busy farming as he often is when we visit for the weekend.

Our Daily Life - Volume 34

More blurry cell phone pics from our day to day life:
 
Bubbles!
 Juliana Crocker
 Our play set is finally here!
 Helium balloons tied to golf tees - I love Pinterest!
 The very beginning of Hope's frog obsession - the first frog she held.
 Which was closely followed by the second frog she ever held.
 Juliana wanted to hold it too (but she didn't get to)
 Going in for the kiss
 The best slide ever!
 The view from the play set tower - we now have a path into the woods
 Juliana loves the balance beam (i.e. the border around the play set)
 Hope loves to explore in the woods.  She mainly looks for frogs, but also looks for animal tracks in the mid.
 My little monkeys.
