Our trip to New Jersey

A few weeks ago we went, along with Uncle Otty, to New Jersey to visit Aunt Patti, Uncle Peter, Kira and Evan. Unfortunately, Jillian was sick the whole time. :( But we still had a great time visiting with everyone! And Jillian keeps talking about going back and asking when we are going to see them again.

A Tropical Storm and a sleep-over...

So, for the Storm, we went to stay at our friends' house. Jillian and Ava had a blast with their friends, Addie and Delaney, and I was really glad not to be alone for the storm! : ) Thank you Hagist family!!!
So here is the view from my driveway when I went home...
















The top of a pine tree fell on the girls' club house, and my neighbor's tree fell on the fence. Other than that, nothing serious, thankfully.

















The view of my messy yard from the back window.

Their first "real" sleep-over...Hide and seek on the bunk beds, staying up until 10:00...
(although Ava didn't get to stay up that late or sleep with the big girls...poor baby) ; )

Ava put herself in the dog cage.


































The girls secretly got a hold of my camera at bed time and tested out their photography skills.

Cutie patooties

Jilly made this car at school, and then they had a race, where they ran holding these boxes around themselves. haha. : )





















Ava running in her favorite dress up skirt...she picks this out to wear almost every day. : )

Goofy Girls

Ode to Sabrina:

Before going to bed,
I put my pants on my head,
and then, just to be funny,
I wear my shirt as a skirt
and hop 'round like a bunny.

Alright, I know...I'm a lame poet...but that IS what was going on in these pics, and Jilly thought she was hillarious. : ) -And I know you can relate, Bean. : )










































Smooshing yogurt all over your head...what could be better?
