Popsicles and Playdates and Meet the Teacher

Popsicles with the Amberson boys! 





Audrey is beginning to help me more in the kitchen. She loves to spread the butter on our bread!
Everyone got summer cuts! Audrey was not thrilled at ALL about us cutting the length off her hair. You can see how long it was in one of the pics above. It's at her shoulders now! We even had tears. :(
I think it's beautiful!.
We met Audrey's 5K teacher and her classroom is precious and I am sure this year is going to be great for her!
McWane fun-- this is becoming my least favorite place to go. It's always crowded and it seems like we always bring home some sort of crud. The girls LOVE it though!





Audrey is planning to have a Sophia the First birthday party and is thrilled with her new dress.
Francie is STILL not sleeping through the night so I ordered this book thinking it may help me train her  to sleep. All it's good for so far is to prop her crib up when she has a cold. :)




Here comes August...

Shopping with little miss Shelby Claire. She's so good about keeping her hand on the stroller while we shop. And I can't get enough of those precious pig tails. 

Frances Rebecca loves this bumbo seat-- as they all have!
I put Shelby Claire down for her nap in a bed that was nicely made and I tucked her in with all of her lovies. I closed the shutters and turned on her fan as I left the room. I checked the monitor a few minutes later and she had opened all the shutters, stripped all her covers off her bed- including the plastic mattress cover-- and all her clothing off. Here she is sound asleep.
Big sister is pretending to be a baby while Shelby Claire is her mommy. Shelby Claire is rocking her baby. :)
Steel City Pops are our favorite these days!!!


Park picnic playdates.... I love, love nothing more than a schedule free fun day like this.

And precious baby Francie has the hives. I gave her oatmeal a couple of nights ago and I thought she may have an allergic reaction to the oatmeal but her pediatrician assures me it's just hives and will go away on its own.


August wouldn't be any fun without a few trips to the zoo!

And more ice cream. :)



We spend a lot of time playing outside in the late afternoons before dinner. 
Audrey was pushing Francie around the house as she sat in her bumbo. I wish this picture was video because Francie was squealing and giggling the entire time! She LOVED her sister pushing her!







This last picture is what the girls felt like they needed to wear to play in. I told them to go get dressed in their favorite outfits. This is what they came down in!

Date nights and doll babies

Shelby Claire with her live doll. 


 Just please let me hold her mommy--- says Audrey a million times a day. :)


 This girl LOVES to play dress up and oh how I love those unruly curls of hers.


 Date night!! I let the girls choose where we eat when we go on dates and Shelby Claire always chooses Mexican-- it is both of our favs!!
