My Baby's going to Preschool!

Can you believe that Allie is old enough to go to preschool? Well she is! Yesterday was "Meet the Teacher" day. Allie was so excited. So were Justin and I! It is going to be very exciting to see how much she grows this year.

The Children's Museum

Auntie Michelle came and visited this last weekend. We always love to have her come. She is so very entertaining. We decided to go to the Children's museum. We had so much fun. Here are some pictures of us building pyramids, pretending to be dinosaurs and playing in the huge play area! Thanks Auntie Chooch for a great time!

Swimming time

Allie begs every day to go to the pool. It doesn't help that everytime we go outside she can see the pool house from our house and she always sees someone walking to the pool. So I gave in, put on my swimsuit and took her to the pool.... don't worry I wont scare you with any pictures of me in a swimsuit!

Cute as pudding pie!

Since it has been so hot and humid here, we have taken to our old Arizona ways and retreated back inside. We got creative one day and this is what happened!

The Indianapolis Zoo

Okay, so we have been a very busy family the past couple of weeks. So I will attempt to catch all of you up.

About 2 weeks ago, Allie, Brinley and I went with some friends to the zoo. It is an awesome zoo and they have great things for the little kids to do. Our only problem was .... it was hot and sweaty!! I think we picked the sweatest day of the summer. Oh well, we had a great time and can't wait to go back!

Allie, Kaitlyn and the infamous "Max" The girls spent all day at the zoo trying to impress him by strutting their stuff, sharing their snacks, and even trying to hold his hand! Allie had to keep reminding Kaitlyn that they had to "Share Max."

Here they are again in front of the huge walrus.

I thought this was such a cute picture of Brinley. She is petting an elephant!

2 little monkeys sitting in a ...

Brinley is definately a little monkey these days! Just recently she has started to climb onto the kitchen chairs and then onto the kitchen table. I am feeling like my life is over for good now! I can't seem to find a spot to put things "up" without her or Allie climbing to get them. Here is Brinley caught in the act of being a little monkey.
