Brianna dressed up as Fancy Nancy for character book dress-up day. She loved being able to wear fun dress up clothes to school. I got some good pictures of her class all dressed up...aren't they all so cute!

Here are some pictures from our trip up North to see both our families....I was feeling really guilty that I had not put a post up in almost two months!! I could not find all the pictures from our trip....hopefully they are not lost....so until I find more here are a few....

Flower girl #2....maybe

The girls are I were looking through some photo albums the other day when I came across the pictures of Brianna when she was a flower girl in my friend's wedding. Brianna was a little bit younger then Alexis is now but I could not get over how much they looked like. So I decided to put the dress on Alexis so I could compare even more. I tried to find the pictures of Brianna in the dress as well to post them on here so you could see...but no such luck...hopefully they did not get deleted off the computer! Anyways Alexis had a little too much fun..she is a little more of a crazy flower girl!

Sister love...

The other night I decided to do french braids on my girls...amazingly they both sat very still. I was so impressed with my accomplishments I decided to take some pictures. They love to tickle each other....it is so cute!
Isn't that sweet:)

Learning how to use hammers....

At the Home Depot the first Saturday of every month, they have a kids project that you can go to. We decided to try it out. It is very cute! They are given a project that you help them with, this time it was a bird house, then when they are completed they get a pin that they can put on their Home Depot apron. The best part is it is all free! The girls loved using a hammer, notice Alexis is pointing the hammer at her head!

a couple more from the 4th

4th of July

The girls enjoyed the 4th of July this year. We started out the day going to a parade where they collected lots of candy! Then we went swimming, enjoyed some fried chicken and ended the day with the fireworks at night. It rained up until about 5 minutes before the fireworks started, so we almost missed them.

They are showing off some of their great candy they got at the parade
This is my attempt at a flag cake, at least it tasted good!
