Cousins

The kids are spending lots of time together now that Aunt Jessica and I alternate watching them once a week. They seem to be having fun together.

Go Bengals

We were at the Bengals game the day of the big wind storm. Good seats, bad game.

Trip to the Zoo

We went to the zoo with Aunt Jessica and cousin Grace and Jacob last week. The best part was feeding the giraffes. Grace was scared at first, but Taylor did it right away!

Detroit Lakes

Taylor went on her first vacation to Minnesota with Mommy and Daddy.

She did a great job on her first plane ride. Her favorite part was the shade on the window.

She swam a little bit with Daddy (until her face got wet on accident).

She did a great job fishing on the boat! She wasn't sure what to think of them at first, but then she decided they were pretty neat.

She really liked the pontoon boat and even went tubing with mommy!

Summer Wedding

We went to Mark's cousin's wedding last night. It was beautiful and the kids were so good. Charlie went home early with his grandma, but Taylor stayed until 10:30! She loved dancing on the dance floor. It was so cute.

Taylor would have danced all night if we let her!

First Movie

Taylor went to her first movie with her cousin Grace last week. They watched The Veggie Tales. They had to share a seat because they kept folding up on them!

Charlie's 9 Months Old

Today was the easiest photo session I've ever had! I left Taylor at Aunt Jessica's and took Charlie after his nap. He was such a cutie and smiled the whole time. It's hard to believe he's 9 months old. He's a great crawler and he's pretty good at pulling up too!

Swimming Party at Grandma's

Taylor and Charlie had a swimming party with their cousins at Grandma's house today. The girls were so sweet and showing much love (most of the time). The boys liked the water a lot, too.

Fourth of July

The kids had a great Fourth of July! Taylor went to a festival in the morning and then marched (well, rode) in the parade with Mommy. Charlie watched with Grandma, Aunt Jessica and Cousin Grace.

Our Little Gardener

Taylor has a new hobby. She loves watering our flowers with her new watering can. She always manages to get herself soaking wet, but it's fun.
