Little Baby or Big Bed?

Our Little Ballerina

Natalie is taking a ballet class in a summer program. It is just four weeks so we could have the opportunity to make sure she liked it before we signed her up for a whole year. Well, let me tell you, she doesn't like it -- she LOVES it. Everytime we are getting ready to go she asks, "Can I go now?" And, the whole way there she says, "It's going to be fun."

All dressed up & ready to go!

Just cute!

Field Trip

During the summer, Natalie's preschool takes several field trips. This time we went to the Stockton Children's Museum. It was fun watching Natalie interact with the other kids and also watching them all explore the cool exhibits at the museum.

3 Months Old!

Olivia is starting to teethe so she is drooling a lot. I took her shirt off to change her but she was being particularly cute & laughing a lot so I took advantage of it and played with her before changing her. Ron got some really cute pics. They are pretty similar but I love all her different facial expressions.

Fairytale Town

Today my mom & I packed the girls up and headed to Fairytale Town in Sacramento. It is a cute little place that has tons of "faiytale" play structures for kids to climb on and play in. We played for a few hours and then had a picnic lunch by a big duck pond. It was a really fun day.

We're having trouble getting Natalie to pose for pictures so Nana let Natalie take her picture on King Arthur's chair. It still didn't help us get a picture of Natalie there :(

She wouldn't smile on the turtle either...

So Nana tickled her until finally she...

...smiled for the camera.

We'll have to go back again when she can play too!

4th of July Celebration

After the parade we headed over to my dad's for our 4th of July Celebration with his side of the family. Natalie was excited to get to see her cousins.

Emma entertained Bootsy the cat with a straw.

Great Grandma got a bounce house for the girls. As expected, they had a great time!

Emma was very silly in the bounce house!
Even Aunt Diane joined the girls. It's crazy how fun it is in there even for adults!

Ava mostly liked to get in and out.

Of course Olivia is still too little for the bounce house. But she did enjoy watching the girls have fun in there.

Shucking corn...

Natalie introduced Emma & Ava to Olivia.

Tonya wanted to try out the baby bjorn becuase she never got to use one. That would have been impossible with two babies ;)
