A few weeks ago when Aunt Kelly had to go back to work for the first time, Libby and I went to SC to stay with Annie for the week. We got to fly on an airplane and everything. We had a lot of fun playing with our only cousin. Libby was such a big girl and did not mind sharing her mommy to often. It was a lot of fun when they would get up from their morning naps and Annie would get a bottle and Libby would get a snack and we would sit and cuddle on the couch and watch the wiggles together. Libby has just started cuddling, I love it!

What a mess!

For the 4th of July we went to Hurricane WV to a family reunion. IT is my dads side of the family and we only go about every other year or so. We had a lot of fun. We spent the actual 4th at the little festival they have and then watched, from our car, the fireworks. It was POURING down rain just in time for the fireworks. It was a good thing that we got to see fireworks at Conner Prairie on Wed. It was fun to see everybody, especially little Annie. We miss her so much! I hope her mommy and daddy move her back to IN soon!!! On our way home we stopped at Aunt Bethy's new house to get the dog. While we were there Libby decided to have fun ripping the Pottery Barn add to shreds, messy, but fun!

a musical night

On July 2 we went to the symphony on the prairie. It was so much fun! It was a beautiful night and wonderful music. Both my girls had a blast! Libby LOVED the music and the food. She danced all night until she finally crashed. Alex loved the music but I think most of all she LOVED being with all her family. We missed Kyle, Kelly and Annie, maybe next time!

Father's Day

I know it is a little late, but we celebrate fathers day when Alex is home. It does not have to be on any date, just when our family can be together. First we surprised daddy with the bike trailer that he has been talking about. The next night we all hoped on our bikes for a ride around the neighborhood. What Fun! After he got his present we met up with Nina, Grandpa, Beth and Zack and went to an Indian's game. We always have fun at the ball park! The Indian's lost but it was a close and fun game!

Lunch with the big girls

Alex, Libby and Kate

climbing

Libby has decided that she will use anything she can to get where she wants to be.

Alex's Zoo

After a visit to the zoo Alex decided to make a zoo in her room. Not that we don't already live in a zoo. She had a grand opening and I had to buy a membership and have tickets for the shows and everything. I was a lot of fun!! And a lot cheaper.

Libby's first ride onthe carousel

silly faces

Yeah for the zoo!!!

Alex and I took Libby to her first visit at the zoo. She seemed to enjoy it. She saw the butterflies first. I was surprised that she actually could see them. Her favorite this was the dolphins. I have never seen her be so excited about anything that was not food. She was dancing and pointing. Alex and I really had a fun time watching her. She did end up falling asleep just in time for her first train ride and missed the rest of the zoo. But that was OK because then we had to bring Daddy back a few days later. Libby was not as excited about the dolphins this time but she got to ride the carousel for the first time. We had a great day, but we were tired by the end. Alex had a ton of fun as well. It had been a few years since we have been and I think that she forgot how much fun it could be. She has created a zoo in her room, complete with a map and a grand opening.
