Finally A Pool Day!

The weather has been unlike summer temps that we haven't been able to use the girls pool this year.  So finally at the end of the holiday weekend the girls enjoyed their backyard pool and water table.  I think the twins were in that pool literally all day long!  LOL!  They have been waiting to use it so they took full advantage.  Addison enjoyed more of her time playing in the water table and around the pool watching the twins.  Hopefully we will have more warmer summer days soon so we can take it out again!

Celebrating the Fourth!

 We were pretty busy over July 3rd and 4th!  We went to a festival and fireworks on the 3rd.  The twins had a blast this year going on the big jumpys, horse ride, train and face painting.  The older they get the more they are willing to try new things.  Especially Ella!  Addie had her turn this year on the train ride which she loved.  She kept making the train noise as we rode along.  That night we sat in our usual spot and enjoyed some ice-cream and popsicles as we watched the fireworks.  The twins loved it!  Then we went to a parade and my sister's on the 4th!  It was so fun this year seeing even Addie join the fun of collecting candy.  She didn't have a shy bone in her little body.  She went right up there with the rest of them to collect every last piece of candy.  So many of us were getting a kick out of watching her.  The twins of course cleaned up pretty well with a full bag of goodies once the parade was over.  Next we went to my sisters house and everyone enjoyed some outdoor fun and sparklers to end the night!  We were tired from the weekend but really enjoyed the time with family and friends!

Addison's 18 month old pictures!

Addison and I did a mini photo shoot so I could capture her at 18 months old.  I thought about going to a studio but I really wanted some outdoor pictures of her.  She is super duper busy at this age so I wasn't sure if I was going to get any good ones but I was wrong.  There are so many here that I enjoy and even the ones without her looking at the camera because they capture her curls.  Boy do I love those curls!  She is so full of life and energy and I think you can see it in these pictures.  Such a sweet age to be.  So glad I will have great memories like this to look back on.  Love you Addie!!!
