Emma's Driving

Just wanted to post these pictures I took last night. Emma loves to ride in Ellie's Coupe. I thought these were cute of her. Notice the flowers in the background. Grammy Carol planted those right before Emma was born when she came out to help us. They have really taken off and are so big now. They were just tiny plants when she planted them.

It is about 5:30 a.m. here and dark out. The sky keeps lighting up because of a little storm going on outside. I love it! I am going to do my work out DVD because I guess it wouldn't be safe to run.

We have a busy week with Ellie's birthday on Wednesday. We are having a Toy Story birthday party for her. This is her new favorite movie. She is having just a few friends over for a BBQ and cake. Michael and I got her 4 plush character dolls from the movie. She will be so excited.

Day At The Park

We went to the park today. Last night we had a HUGE thunder/lightning storm with loads of rain. The great thing about this is that in the morning it was actually cool. The is not normal for Havasu in August. Anyway it was the perfect opportunity to take the kids to the park. I just let Ellie run wild. Emma and I followed her all over the park. Here are some pictures of our day. By the way, this is the only place that we have grass in Havasu. It doesn't look this pretty in the rest of the town. This is why we go to the park so often.

Cute Little Emma

Here are some cute pictures I took of Emma today. She is learning how to sit up so well now. These girls are growing up so fast.

Video of Girls

This is some video I shot yesterday. Ellie was playing with Emma. I heard Emma laughing from the other room and walked in to find Ellie trying to climb up on Emma's seat. Emma loves her sissy to much and always smiles and laughs when she is around.

Our Busy Week

It is crazy how fast this week has gone by. We had a fun week with some friends from California that came to Havasu for some boating fun. Ellie enjoyed playing with their two girls Sammy and Sydney. Here is a picture of the three of them. They are on their way home today and we will miss them. It is still hot here. It's been humid as well with the monsoon season upon us. I take Ellie outside in her pool as much as possible. She loves the water. We were lucky this past week to have a few days where it was cloudy. I was able to take the kids to the park and not worry about sunburn or heat exhaustion. Still trying to hold on till October when we will feel some relief from the heat. Hope everyone has a great week ahead.

Ellie's Fashion Statement

We went in to get Ellie yesterday morning and this is how we found her. She had taken off her shirt, turned it inside out and backwards and then she pulled it down to her chest. I don't know how she did it but we thought it was funny.

Ellie, Emma and Homer Simpson

No we don't watch the Simpson's but Ellie loves to play with her Homer Simpson doll when we go to Grandma and Grandpa's house. We had a nice dinner of there last night and Grandpa took these pictures of the girls, they were watching Spongebob Squarepants. Nothing too exciting going on. We had a lazy day yesterday. The girls both took 3 hour naps yesterday at the same time and I was able to clean the house. Oh yea, daddy slept too. I get jealous when I see him sleeping because I can't seem to take naps anymore. I have too much to do and my mind can't rest until things are done. Anyways, we will head to church today. Not much else going on.
