Summer Randomness

Summer is flying by! We are busy. We are hot. I just transferred a bunch of pictures from my camera to my computer, so here are some of them. This will give you an idea what we spend our summer doing.....

I sit and take hundreds of pictures of Olivia. Literally-hundreds. I think her first word won't actually be a word it will be the sound of a camera. My mom brought this dress to the hospital right after she was born. I remember looking at it and thinking, "She will never wear that this summer. She is too tiny for that dress." Well-4 mos. later we are wearing the dress. It's my favorite of her dresses right now. She looks like a cupcake when she wears it and she certainly is delicious, I just wish I could keep her little for awhile longer. :(

You think they look like brother and sister? haha....

Ready for church. She's growing up too, dang it. She started piano this summer and has fallen in love with it. Grandma, at the rate she is flying through her piano books I figure she will be able to play Clare de Lune for you in just a few years. :)

Baseball, baseball, baseball! It has taken up a big chunk of our summer, but it has been fun to watch them both play. Check out his eye. He actually got this one from falling off his bike. The boy has been one giant scab this summer.

He's good at getting the ball. He just has no clue what to do with it when he does get it! His favorite part of playing is the treat at the end of each game. :)

The swimming pool. We spend A LOT of time here! It's fun to go and swim and see friends. Both of my kids are turning into fish!

Olivia's first dip in the pool. She hated every single minute of it. She screamed and then pulled her hat down over her face and went to her "happy place." I think the water was too cold for her.

aaahhhh.....that's more like it. Sittin' in the stroller in the shade.

Could you die over that swimsuit? Even though she didn't get back in the water I kept her in it because it was so cute. Your never too young to learn the importance of "pool fashion." ;)

These next pictures are sure to get a reaction.......

YES-I got her ears pierced and before you go calling DCFS on me, just know that she cried less than when she gets shots. I had no clue that people felt so strongly one way or the other about babies with pierced ears until I did this. Yes, Paul knew that I was doing it and supported it. After our experience with Allie (which hasn't been good) we said that if we had another girl we would do it before she knew what was going on. Yes, I put orajel on her ear-lobes to numb them. No, they don't bother her when she sleeps. Yes....she looks adorable. :) Oh and don't worry-I will wait until she is at least two-years-old before we do a tattoo. ;) MWAH!
