Twistle Summer

The cool air is starting to settle in, we still may have a few warm days left, but they are numbered. We had a great summer, full of friends, family, and water! I am looking forward to fall weather and sweaters, but will miss our summer. It was one to remember. Here are a few pictures of what we did:

LOTS and LOTS of popsicles and ice cream! 

We painted. We painted a lot! There were a few days where it was just too hot to go outside, so I thought it would be fun to paint. It sure was "fun" to clean up afterwards! These girls made a huge mess, but it was a fun time regardless.

Emma's first movie in the big theater. We watched The Croods and she LOVED it! She sees the picture everywhere of the advertisements for the DVD release and she gets so excited.

Family lake day! Thanks to everyone who came, it was a fun time. Except for the wind. and the bees. Oh, and the huge thunderstorm that threatened to strike us with lightning. Other than that...

And lastly, our Charlotte. She's been extra cuddly the last month or so, and we've been loving it. Her little baby teeth are wreaking havoc in her mouth, so she's been a little bit more on edge and has needed more cuddles. We don't mind one bit :) She will be 1 year next month!!

Happy "almost" Fall!!

Summer Adventures

We've had a fun summer so far. AND compared to last year, we've had a GREAT summer because I'm not pregnant, HOLLA!!

Gosh, I can't stress enough how much I despised my existence last summer. I did nothing, because it was too hot and I was too miserable to try. Yep. I'm that girl. The one who doesn't LOVE being pregnant! 

The best thing we did last summer was visit Matt's family in Illinois, and while it was bloody hot and I was 7 1/2 months pregnant, it was so great to see everyone and let Emma play with Gramma and Papa. 

Anyways, back to THIS summer. The one where I'm not pregnant...

We've played at the park lots, almost daily. We've swam in the swimming pool, ran through the sprinklers, and played with water balloons. We've fed animals at Wheeler Farm. We've had lots of friends over and cousin family time. We went camping! (Next post)

It's been so fun, and summer isn't over yet! 

I love our little family. I love our daily laughs. I love us. I'm a bit obsessed, but I'm entitled to since they are mine, right? 

Here's some pictures of our summer fun so far:

My little socialite daughter. She definitely has Matt's genes running through her, because she loves going up to random kids and making friends. She calls out to them, "hey kids!" or, "hey boy!" to get their attention. In this picture, there was a little boy that was driving a remote control car around, and she followed him around like a shadow.

Miss Charly chillin' in the shade.

Her face when we ask her to smile. It's to die for!

Sister Shenanigans. I am in love with these pictures. Charlotte picking her nose and Emma flashing her smile makes me so happy to be a Mom! This is what life is like most days!

We went to Wheeler Farm to feed the animals. It's a free family trip, and the duck food only costs 50 cents per bag. Emma loves it everytime we go!

I wish one day you will all be able to witness Charlotte's "looks". I'm telling you, she's trying to communicate through each look she gives. I will take a series of pictures right in a row, and get a different look with every shot. It makes me smile! She is my sweet Charly girl. 

Watching some cartoons in their Sunday best :)

It's always a good day when we go to Hot Dog on A Stick 

I cannot get enough of their lemonade!! Delish!!

My beautiful girls!

Emma loves it when Kami and Kadan come over for the day!

We love summer!!!
