The Beach!

We had the wonderful opportunity to head to the beach with Riley, Susan (SueSue), Steven(WhoWho), Nonni, and Poppy.  We had a great time and wonderful weather!  Adeline is just like her daddy, a fish. She spent the whole time in the ocean. Lillian, on the other hand, is a landlubber.  She made one solid trip to the beach where she tried her hardest to NOT let her feet touch the sand.  The next day she only made a cameo appearance and by the third day Nonni volunteered to stay at the house with her.  

Here she is on day 1.  Already scoping out her sunscreen, she knows she will need it.

You see the tear stained eyes. Not a beach bum baby.

But she was happy with daddy (in the blanket and shielded from the sun and sand)

Sweet Riley read to Adeline every night.  Notice the holster and pop gun.

Adeline reeeeeeeeealy loves Riley.

Lillian had a photo shoot...she had a captive audience and her very own stage.

"Where's SueSue!?!?"

This makes me smile.  I love this precious little profile.  Look at that sweet little curl.

Morning with Nonni...

Look at that bum...

Look at those googles...

SueSue, girls and Riley (the surfer)...

The mama and mermaids...

The landlubber...

The gypsy...

Poppy and Adeline...

Nonni, Poppy and Adeline...

Nonni and the mermaid...

Raaarrrrrrr!

Yes, mama got in the water.  Usually I am just behind the camera and on the shore.

Always walking...

One last ride on the tricycle before we head home.

Batter, Batter, Swing!

Adeline had a big treat on this trip to Randleman.  Dad was asked to throw out the first pitch at the Copperheads baseball game and he took her out on the mound with him.  She was pumped! 

It really was a-d-o-r-a-b-l-e!  Who says a girl can't do all the things a boy can.

Look at that form!

She is obviously so proud of that ball.

She acted like she was scared of him but she reeeeeeealy wanted to have her picture taken with the Copperhead mascot.

Watching everything BUT the game.

And of course we have to get a picture in front of the pink truck!

Doc, Teeny the girls and Booty (yes, that is the dogs name).

Happy Father's Day!

We had a wonderful Father's Day!  We went to church and lunch with Nonny and Poppy... and of course there were plenty of photo opportunities!

The girls.

 

Poppy and sweet Lillian.

This is random...whenever we travel the girls will nap in the car (hopefully) for a bit.  On the way to Randleman last Friday I set Lillian up for her nap and she was asleep before I hit the last stoplight in Raleigh.  She loves her blankets!

On the way home from Randleman I set Adeline up for a "Mimi" nap too but she was a little reluctant (notice the squinty eyes).

I will post the rest of the Randleman pictures tomorrow...

Messy Marvina

Our sweet Lillian is not the greatest eater.  But when she finds something she likes there is no stopping her, even with a bib. 

She really loves blueberries.

And my smoothie.

We were out of town last weekend so I am a little behind on pictures of the girls.  She has taken a bunch of steps but I have not been able get them on video.  I will try tomorrow!

Another Project

Heavy equipment always provides great entertainment for the girls.  Fortunately, our house is an ongoing project so we are never short on entertainment.

Our sweet neighbor came by to watch the action.

We had to move inside...but the girls still found the workers.

 Then to the front of the house.

Before... 

 and after.  It took them all day to dig up the driveway and yard.  They will be back next week to pour the new driveway.  More entertainment!

Sunday

I heard Adeline on the monitor reading a story to her imaginary friend, Tommy.  I tried to sneak up on her to get a good picture.  The first picture was before my cover was blown.  The last two are her reaction to seeing me trying to take her picture.

The princesses in battle over the crown.  Notice who is in the headlock and who is doing the locking.

Lately, we spend a lot of time on these steps.  Lillian sits on the bottom one and tries to launch herself off in a walk.  We have a few videos of her "walking", which is really just a stumbling fall.  stay tuned, it can only be a matter of days before she has got it!

Bejewelled

Da Pool!

The goggles were a very big deal for Miss A.  We bought them at one store and then walked to another, Target.  She insisted on wearing her goggles throughout Target.  And she did.  We finally made it to the pool with the purple goggles and she barely wore them in the water.  There is still hope, summer has just started.

THIS look says it all.

The cool babe, with her daddy's goggles.

The dad and the mermaid.

The very first orange push-pop.
