4th of July

Our 4th of July was pretty uneventful. We spent the morning trying to get our pool drained (oh yeah, we have a pool at the new house!) and then we headed off to church for some fellowship, food and fireworks!

We thought Sebastian wasn't going to like all the noise but he actually did pretty well! He was always looking for where the noise came from, enamored by the lights once it got dark, and actually fell asleep during the finale. 

The girls were loving watching everyone set off the little things. Whenever anyone would set off a snake, Lexi would run up and yell, "It not a snake it a SPIDER!!"

One of the church members brought these Popsicle treats from Mexico and the girls loved them.

Kayleigh's favorite things were the smoke bombs. She loved to run through the smoke.

Hope you all had a wonderful 4th of July!!

June Photos

I almost forgot to do June's photos! It's crazy to believe its July already but this past month has kept us pretty busy.

First me and the kids went on our annual family vacation up near Hannibal, Missouri.

The girls had a blast, lots of fun at the pool and swim park and playing with all their cousins.

My younger sister made a pretty cool watermelon shark!

(Don't worry, this picture was edited. He wasn't really sitting on the edge of the pool alone!)

You really don't want to know how many pictures I have on my phone of Sebastian sleeping. It's a problem...

 

We had a great Father's Day as well, with a custom made card (Inside I asked the girls what they liked about Daddy and wrote it down), Ice cream and lots of watermelon!

  

Speaking of watermelon, During the Father's Day photo, Sebastian stole Charlie's and chowed down so we decided to start him on solids a little bit sooner than intended. He didn't seem to like avacados as first but I let him play with the bowl and he ended up loving it. He now has some avacado every night, and has tried a few more food since!

Charlie had a race the last weekend of June and Sebastian tried to help his daddy get ready.

We also moved this month!! We now live about 40 minutes outside of St. Louis, close to Six Flags. We are still working on getting everything situated but are loving the new house.

Kayleigh especially has been loving it. For some reason once we moved she became super independant and likes to make her own food. Here she is pictures cutting up strawberries for breakfast.

Sebastian is also working on crawling and will army crawl his way all over the new house.

This picture has become a bit of a tradition. I took one with Kay and Lex back when Lexi was only 5 months old, and then have taken one every year in June since. So this is our third year taking one and I hope to continue it for a while!

May Photos

May has been a busy month for us! Not only is it my birthday, but also Kayleigh's as well. Plus there is Mother's Day and Memorial day and we have one of Charlie's races, PLUS we are getting ready to move (!!!) so all that fun house stuff happened this month as well. We don't move until June, though, but I am already working on compiling lists of stuff we need to do before the big day. but onto the pictures!!

 Lexi has been fighting naps so I decided to stop trying to get her to take them so now she either just climbs in her bed or this chair and falls asleep if shes tired enough. I also dyed my hair red! Well, its more of an auburn but I've been talking about this for years because I have a lot of grays (especially for someone who just turned 30) so Charlie surprised me on my birthday! I am really loving the color and 3 weeks later its still something to get used to.

If you pop in randomly at our house, don't be surprised is Lexi is in some state of undress. I'm lucky to keep clothes on this girl most days.

Kayleigh is such a goofball. I randomly found the picture on the left on my phone one day. When I asked her about it, she told me that "You needed more pictures of me on your phone, mama!" We also got a bunch of packages in the mail one day and she decided to wear them.

Charlie's race day. The girls love riding around with Dada. I also talked my mom into wearing Sebastian in my baby carrier when I was out taking photos of the racers.

It may not quite be summer but we are enjoying ice cream like it is!

Kayleigh's preschool had a final spring concert on the last day. Kayleigh was so proud of herself for doing all the movements and remembering the lyrics!
  

End it with a sleeping picture of Sebastian because who can resist a sleeping baby?!
