What haven't we been up to lately??

We've had such a great summer thus far! The girls and I have visited my parents in Eastern WA, Avery is in Summer Camp which she absolutely LOVES, she also takes Ballet lessons. Emerson is so close to walking and trying to say so many words... and the little "sisterly quarrels" have started as well! ;) Emerson is learning to yell back at Avery (don't like this, but it's pretty darn cute to see) and does everything she possibly can to keep up with her big sister. I tell ya what... these girls are nothing short of a miracle and life couldn't possibly be better than this! Enjoy the pics!!

Emerson is into EVERYTHING! Avery got this trike for her birthday and has since become disinterested in it. I swear Emerson will be riding it before Avery does!!

Is this not the perfect, "Who me?" face??!! "What Mom, I haven't done anything!!"

At Alta Lake. Avery was showing Em how to throw rocks into the water. Em's got an arm, just like big sister!! Look out Boys!!

Avery is very much into art and "doing projects" these days. I found this awesome Sidewalk Paint by Crayola and it's been a hit! Plus our walkway to the front door looks fabulous!!

Happy Summertime!!!

A 1st for Emerson

Yesterday we went to the Mill Creek Festival. Avery and Emerson shared a snocone...Em's first! Here's how it went:

Avery is the sweetest big sister...she enjoyed feeding Em!

A little shocked by the cold...

Then, happy as a clam! Loved her first sno~cone!

Silly Em xoxo

Miss Emerson has learned to make funny-faces just like guess who???? Yes, Avery! Avery was standing behind me making funny-faces to Em while I took this picture! Silly girl!!

Emmy-Lou on the 4th...

Yesterday Blogger wouldn't let me upload a pic of Em to my post...so frustrating! Trying again today...OK...still won't! GRRRRR!! I DO have pics of Em from the 4th.... they're just not uploading for some reason....
Oh well...just another excuse to get the camera out today!! :):)

4th of July (a little late...)

We had such a wonderful 4th of July holiday with our family! Uncle Wayne and Aunt Cynthia have a beautiful restored Victorian home in Snohomish with an amazing yard that Avery LOVES to run around in. We spend the afternoon playing Badmitton, Pickle Ball, eating freshly caught crab and enjoying great conversation. Here's a few pictures from the day...

My sister Katie and our cousin Dana...Partners in crime!!

A random snap of Avery...she's so beautiful!

Her blue eyes are stunning...completely mezmerizing!

So I have a few of Emmy-Lou but blogger won't upload them due to an "internal error" so check back...I'll keep trying! (Sooooo frustrating!!)

Overwhelmed.... :)

Yep, that's me! When am I not overwhelmed lately?? Maybe when I finally fall asleep at night...if you call it that! :) But all I have to do is look at these two little girls and all else is perfect in my little world!

Emerson has the longest eyelashes you have ever seen and a head full of thick, sweet curls <3

Avery started Ballet class last week and LOVES it! Everyday she asks me if it's ballet day...I'm so glad she's loving it as much as she is... you never know with these little ones!

OVERHAULING/UNDER CONSTRUCTION!!

Hello!! I know... I haven't been spending anytime on this blog whatsoever! I miss it so much...well, I miss the photography. I have been so wrapped up in preschool that I've neglected photography completely. Well... the preschool news is not good, but the photography news is... for now though, I'm overhauling this blog and getting back into the swing of photography again!! (Thank godness!!!!) Here's a couple just to update the girls...they're GORGEOUS and we're loving our life with them!! Avery is 3 now, and Em is 10 days shy of 11 months old!!! WOW!!!

Avery LOVES lipstick these days!

My adorable Emmy-Ems...she's always this happy!!
