She can almost hide behind it!

It's a good thing this one is too big for the hoop :)

However, then getting it back out is a bit of a challenge!

Rodeo girl :)

Who doesn't sit next to a life-size cookie monster?

Typical cartoon morning:
Daddy snoozing to make up for the early hour...

Emily completely engrossed in the show....

and Rachel flipping the lights on and off and running
back and forth across the couch :)

Awww...sharing the chair! :)

And drawing together :)

Emily got her first haircut! A cute little bob :)

Emily being a goofball :)

Rachel actually putting the cap back on!

Outside fun!!

Going up....

Going down!!!


Hey, this is fun!

Emily brought us all yellow "flowers" :)

And of course all petals go in the cupholder :)

Can you find the Rachel in this picture??

If I stand completely still, noone will see me :)

Slow dancing with daddy!

Swing your partner...

New bath toys!! Sooo fun!

Josh got out his old hot wheels and the girls love them!

Especially Emily!

The girls enjoying their swings!! :)

Tickling :) And discussing their shirts :P

Trying to get the monkey to smile for the camera
and then loving on her little sister :)

We got the girls a playset!!!

Wheeeeeeeeee! :)

Lots of giggles and grins!

So far, all they want to do is swing, swing, swing!

But being inside is fun too with rides like this!

Or this....

And sometimes it's a two for one :)

I'm a plane!

So am I!!

And then daddy's arms were tired so reading was in order :)

Getting situated to watch our fireworks!! Yes, it's light out :)

First sparklers! :)

Emily wanted to be like Rachel...held up high :)
