Libby's 2nd birthday!

Libby had a week long birthday party. Beginning with a "party" at Grandma Peggy's house!
Blowing out the candles and making a wish. Love the closed eyes!

This is what you get if you ask her to say cheese!

My beautiful girls!

Libby really got the opening presents thing. Christmas is going to be a blast!

Libby loved her new books!

And her high heels that Alex got her! Chatting on the phone and everything!

And blowing out the candles again! She got to the point that she would clap and cheer when she would blow out the candle. It was very cute!

One of Libby's favs right now is snuggling on the couch! Both babies were fresh from the bath tub. My fav!

Libby found her bunny ears and was having lots of fun with them!
In fact she had fun putting them on Matthew!

Matthew loves his Johnny Jump up!

In fact we can not make it any higher and he is almost hitting his bottom on the ground. He can make that thing fly!

Libby is being a horsey.

My mom and I took the kids to the State Fair on opening day. We had a lot of fun! This is one of my favorite pics. Alex is an awesome big sis!

My girls!

Alex played her violin at the Carmel Farmer's' Market a few weeks ago. She did an awesome job!

We all had fun watching her!

Libby getting ready to go boating at my Uncle Toms lake house! We had so much fun! Libby was a cute as can be, she walked around all day in her swimsuit have a great time!

Luke is my cousins little boy. He is 2 months younger than Matthew.

Alex had fun fishing and tubing on the lake!

Alex on her first day of 5th grade! I can not believe that I have a 5th grader! I think that I may be in trouble! She looks like a middle schooler already!

Big boy Matthew, 5 mos!

Annie and Libby in the car! This seems to be every ones favorite toy at our house!

Libby and Annie sharing some blueberries and strawberries!

Happy 4th of July!

Libby, Jason, Nancy, and Matthew
Libby enjoying her sucker that lasted the entire parade, and then some! Love the beads!

I was taking her picture and she just stood up and yelled as loud as she could and then laughed and did it again and again. It was really funny!

Today we when to the 4th of July parade here in Carmel. What a wonderful time we had! It was a little rainy but not enough to ruin our fun. It was the first parade that Libby has been to and I really enjoyed sharing that with her! Jason's late Grandpas wife, Nancy got to join us and it was perfect! She got to hold Matthew for the first time and visit with Jason and I sat on the curb with Libby. I did not get any pics until it was over but here are a few!

The Zoo

Wed we went to the zoo along with half of Indianapolis. It was packed! The weather was a bit

cool and wet so I guess everyone had the same idea we did. I did not get many pics but it was Matthews first trip to the zoo. Of course no surprise for those of you who know me well, I got NO pictures of him! Whoops! Better luck next time!

Big boy Matthew!

Matthew loves just about everything! He is such a happy baby. He loves it when anyone is talking to him, especially his sisters. He does not get to play on the floor a ton due to his overly loving sister, Libby, but when he does he just has a good old time! He does not roll over yet but he likes playing on both his tummy and his back. He has on a cute little cowboy outfit straight from Texas from his great Aunt HelenAnn. My little cowboy!

Glue and markers!

Libby got to play with glue and markers for the first time, and of course, LOVED it! I think that I have another craft girl on my hands. Alex LOVES to do crafts and I think that Libby is following her big sisters footsteps. We did have to have a lesson on glue not being lotion that goes on our legs, nor is it lipstick. It may look a bit like both of these things to Libby, however it is not!

Finishing up June!

Libby loves to color! She carries around her box of "coloring crayons and paper" and stops where ever I am to color. I just thought that this was to cute. She was laying on the floor coloring and I almost did not get the picture because I went to find the camera and she started to gather everything up and follow me!
At the sprinkle park with our friends, what a fun time!

Helping Mommy water the flowers, one of her favorite things to do, usually with daddy!

"I refuse to smile when I know you want me to!"
