Big news!

The girls wanted to show off their gymnastics skills the other day. I can already tell they are going to be competitive against each other.

This is a picture of Elli's first hair cut. I am still not sure if I like it yet but at least her bangs are not in her eyes.

Okay- now for the big news.....my brother and sister-in -law are expecting their first baby!!!! This is such a wonderful surprise and we are so happy for them. We can wait to have a cousin!

Labor Day Weekend

For Labor Day weekend I took the kids to spend a few days with my parents up north. It was a relaxing and great get away. We got to sleep in, eat lots of yummy food, and play outside.

We even took the kids to the apple orchard to pick apples. Laney and Mack always love this adventure. As you can see, Elli was not really into picking apples. Her and Papa stayed in the van and took a nap.






Mack climbed trees (got poison ivy to prove it) and the girls played on the swing set all weekend.
