Lots of Pictures!

WARNING! I am posting a whole lot of pics! :)

Last week we spent the week with family and I just couldn't leave people out. The week started with visiting Marie and Rena before they left. Had to get our fill before we don't see them for another 6 months! :(

A couple of cute girls! They really had fun together!

We got to see Alexander too! Emma just absolutely adores ages 2 and under and thinks that they are all her "babies." Alex was pretty easy going though and humored Emma!

After hanging out in Tacoma for a few days Anthony and his family headed off to California for Jake's wedding. I wish the girls and I could have gone. It sounded like it was a beautiful wedding. I traveled to Portland area with my family for the annual BBQ.

Uncle Wayne made sure he had airplanes for the girls and they spent hours flying those off the deck.

It sure was nice to see Aunt Bonny and Uncle Darrell too! I think Aunt Bonny got enough little girl hugs to last her till she could see hers again!

I loved seeing my Grandpa too. In the words of Tabitha, "I sure do love my great Grandpa, Mama!"

Okay so what else can I say other than that there is way too much orneriness in this picture! Here comes DOUBLE TROUBLE!

I had the camera so Anthony didn't have a chance to bring back pictures although he did bring back a lemon off a lemon tree that was at the house he was staying at.

Um, Yes! That is as big as her head!

It's all in the shoes

You can tell a person by the shoes they wear-right? Well you can in my girls! Emma and Tabitha are like Night and Day. Complete opposites. I took them shoe shopping today and all I can say is their shoes say it all!!

Tabs pick...

Emma Pick!

(Emma has been begging me for high heeled shoes for a month! She is 5! But (sigh)Mom gave in.)

RENA!!!!

The girls were so excited to see Rena this last weekend! Oh and RE and Grandma too! :)

I could hear Terina screaming with excitement before she even got out of the car.

Marie brought some Poi balls and Emma has been trying so hard to master them! I think we all got hit by them at some point during the weekend! (Notice Marie looking scared!)

Cousin Love!

We got to see little Sydney quite a bit this weekend too so I don't know how I got away without a picture of the cutie!

Swimming Lessons

The girls have been in swimming the last 4 weeks. Last Friday was their last day for a few weeks so they got to have a fun day. They got to put life jackets on and swim all over the pool and jump off the diving board if they wanted to.

The girls were in the same class. Emma is in the pink and Tabs in in the orange.

Tabitha Jumped! (Well, okay she got thrown-but by choice!)

What do you mean swimming is over?!!

We finished off our Fourth at Anthony's parents house. Ashlee and Jared, being the nice Auntie and Uncle they are, got a TON of fireworks for the kids. Thanks Guys!!

Ashlee showed the girls how to throw poppers. They sure enjoyed that and they managed not to throw them at each other!

Waiting for it to get dark so we can start the show!

Were they cold or were they trying not to get eaten alive from all the NASTY mosquitoes?!

Yeah for sparklers!!

4th Fun

Our 4th started at the park for Anthony's annual family reunion.

Emma suckered Grandma into helping her on the monkey bars.

Captain Anthony leading his team to victory in the games. :) They had to peel a coconut and some bananas. There was an egg toss and a contest to see who could put on some clothes the fastest. For all their team effort they won (drum roll)............a box of Costco crackers!!!

Tabitha loves to climb!

Of course the day at the park was not complete until after the pie eating contest.
