July 2013

Mike is taking an online course and Josh has been loving it!  He stayed up really late one night to watch a lecture with him and take some notes (in his very own notebook). 
 

 

The kids were both sick for a bit last month so there was lots of extra sleeping.  Josh asked to take a nap out on the deck so I made him a little bed out there 

 

This one was my favorite though.  He fell asleep, face down on the floor, still holding his toys....   poor kiddo
 

 

Anna making crazy faces while I was trying to get some pics of the flower girl dress I'm making her for my sisters wedding

june/ july

Anna had a scrape on her arm and Mike told her she'd be ok because she was a tough girl, so he gave her a "tattoo" to make her feel better.

Brooke "grooming" Josh

Anna brought me a dandelion and started goofing around while I was trying to take her picture.  She was so cute, I couldn't pick just one....

 

 This is the face anna makes when she wants to make me laugh.  she looks crazy on camera, but it's hysterical in person

Anna insisted on taking a magazine in to read with her....


Anna learned how to ride the big bike!

 

 

 

 

The pics below were better seeing all of them in a series.  She started out just spraying her shirt, then she was trying to figure out how the nozzle worked, then she completely sprayed herself in the face!

Look at those curls!!  I love how curly it gets when it's wet, just wish they'd stay once it was dry.... 



This can't be comfortable...
