THANKS MOM!!!

I just wanted to thank my mom for letting us crash at her house the last few days! Saturday afternoon our air conditioner quit working! UGH!!! Talk about hot and uncomfortable! and definately not a place for my girls to be hanging out! So my mom graciously let us come stay with her till we got it fixed. Maggie had a blast and played mimi to death, as well as a Shrek dvd and Dora's Super Babies Dvd! Sophie flashed her first smile and cooed her first coo for mom! lucky!! I was there to see it though, so I guess its ok! Anyway, we our home now and trying to unpacked and organized! But again I just have to say THANKS MOM!

Concert in the park

Killeen puts on a summer concert series every summer with different music showecased every couple of fridays. Last friday night they had a salsa band playing-so of course we had to go. THe weather was really nice-well it wasnt sweltering! We thought maggie would have a super fun time seeing how she loves music and dancing so much, but the band didnt really interest her (or me!) so she spent the evening running around playing with other kids. Some of the older kids were rolling down a grassy hill and maggie wanted to try to do it. She could quite figure it, so G tried to teach her. She never really got the hang of it, but I think she had a good time trying. And Sophie, of course, spent the whole evening sleeping!

Maggie's baby dolls

Since Maggie had become a big sister, she has turned into a good helper and has found her motherly tendencies with baby dolls. Previously she was not at all interested in them. She now carries them around, puts them in all of ssophie's things (bouncy seat, swing, bassinet). Today she was asking for a stoller for her baby- lucky for her a local toy store was going out of business earlier this year and a snatched up a bunch of stuff for super cheap and have had them in the closet. Well guess what I bought? A little stroller for Maggie's baby dolls!! She was so excited when i pulled it out for her this afternoon- she has been pushing her babies and stuffed animals around all afternoon!!

BIG Bows and Flowers

I dont know why, but for some reason I am totally obessed with headbands with big bows and flowers on them for Sophie. I never really put bow and headbands on maggie, not sure why, but i am trying to make sure that I keep palenty of pretties on Sophies little head. I have found a few at a little baby boutique in Temple, but wasnt willing to pay the price of $15 to $20 buck for one headband. So i found some of the crochet headbands (adorable) on line for super cheap! I got 16 different colors for less then the price of one at the boutique! I am trying to get some put together, my first was a bright pink flower with a big pink rhinestone in the middle! There is nothing cuter than a baby with a big ol' flower on her head!!

Awe pictures!

What else can you say but awe!!!

Jumping and Swimming!

Maggie had turned into a water bug!!! Once I stopped working, we spent everyday in the pool- its just too hot and I was too big to do anything else. Maggie loves the water and everyday is getting more brave and trying new things. She is jumping in from the side with no one catching her and she will do it over and over!! She love to play silly games and her favorite is when Aunt B and Seth come over to swim!

Happy 4th!

Happy 4th of July to everyone!! I hope everyone had a great weekend. We spent a quiet weekend at home and my family came over in the afternoon for a little bbq and some swimming. Maggie had a blast! She loves to get to play with Seth and everyone in the pool. Ryan had to work, so G got to run the grill today! Luckily we just had hamburgers and hot dogs! We all missed Scott and Ed this year and keep them in our prayers. We hope for their safety and cant wait for them to get home. G made sure we all had our patriotic gear on this year! Maggie actually kept her pony tails in all day!!! Enjoy the pics!
