Meeting the Twincesses

One of the greatest highlights of our vacation was
spending some time visiting with Tony and Heather
and meeting Hadley and Leila. (Tony is Barry's
brother)
The babies are so sweet and little and we enjoyed
holding them and playing with them so much.
We got to spend a lot of time with Tony and Heather
and they tolerated our constant picture taking of their
baby girls. Here are a few of my favorite pictures:)

I have new found respect for this mom. You
are automatically SuperMom if you are the
mother of Twins!!
Thanks Tony and Heather for your wonderful
hospitality and sharing your sweet baby girls!

Colorado Vacation

We just got to spend over a week in beautiful Colorado
We started out in Colorado Springs then went on to
family camp in Westcliffe and Horn Creek. We had a
wonderful time. These are just a few pictures of our fun
vacation and also not really in the right order but you will
still get the idea.

This is what happens to Molly when she has had
enough... just falls asleep on Daddy. This is after
spending a good part of the day walking and shopping
in Old Colorado City.

Barry and Molly going down the water slide at camp.
Molly loved it! Sydney loved it! Gracie went once,
but she did not love it so much:)



Gracie is trying out Sydney's horse, "Red".
Sydney, Barry and Grandpa Steve went on a
horseback ride one day. Gracie and Molly "tried"
out the horse when they got back. All the girls also
got to take rides on the little pony as well.



Sydney on Red. She had a great time!

Barry and the girls at Focus on the Family in
Colorado Springs. We love visiting Whitts End and
spending some time playing and roaming the
Focus on the Family book store!

Sydney and Gracie at Western Night at camp.
They got their faces painted. Gracie was a kitty,
Sydney was a rabbit.

My three sweeties!

OH... and again!

This picture is at a Colorado visitor's center we
stopped at on our way out. They had one of those
"propellers" from one of those new energy creating
windmills. This is the end of it, the girls could lay in
it. It was huge!!
We got to do so many fun things at camp and play with
a lot of fun friends. I wish I could post all of our great
pictures but that would be too much! We love family
camp and we do love visiting Colorado. The mountains
are gorgeous and it sometimes leaves me breathless in AWWW
of God's creations.
We had great room and the girls all had their
own beds. We all had fun classes to go to and
we also got to spend our week at camp with
Grandpa Steve. I hope he had as much fun as the
girls did with him!

The Deal of the Day!

So I went shopping today and stopped in Baby Gap
to see what kind of cute headbands they might have
and of course I found lots of cute things which then
reminded me why I don't go in there very often!
So, so many cute things!
Anyway... I had a "rewards" card worth $20 and
was able to use it toward my purchases. I am
not even sure how it happened and neither were
the sales people but after they entered the rewards
card, everything rang up to $0. Yes! $0! I must
have purchased just the right amount. It was
the greatest visit ever:)


Needless to say I was not reluctant at all to
show this receipt off to Barry! You can't argue
with that trip to the mall!

I had to take picutes of the receipt and
post them otherwise who would believe me!!

Happy 7th Birthday Sydney!

Sydney turned 7 on June 11th. I probably say
this every year but is seems like '7' is a big year.
Sydney had a "friend" party with some of her
best friends. They had a great time. When you
get 7 girls all together for a party you also get
lots and lots of screaming:) Yea!!!

Sydney had a beautiful birthday cake that her
Grammy made for her. It was so yummy!


Sydney blowing out her candles, here with her
friend Hannah.


Sydney and her friends. They made Princess
crowns as part of the fun for the night. They all
did a great job and had lots of fun!

All the girls... before we got the party started,
also before the screaming got out of control!


My Sydney!

May Fun!

I am posting several pictures from different May activites
so I hope it is not too overwhelming but I wanted to put some
of these things up! Enjoy!

This is Sydney's soccer team, The Daisies, we had a end
of season pizza party.


The soccer cupcake cake! It was yummy!

We had had a lot of buys nights right at the end of
May. Gracie was so tired after Aunt Carmen's grad
party but wanted to stay awake to play with Nannie
and PaPa Dick. They came over to stay with the girls
while Barry and I went to Julie's 80's party. I told you
we were busy:) Gracie just couldn't make it!


Dr. Carmen Storm! We are so very proud of her!


A sweet picture of my Sydney! I couldn't resist
posting this one!

Missed Me?

Have you noticed how long it has been since I have posted anything on my blog? Well, not long after my last post my laptop died a slow death. We finally got our new laptop today and it is WONDERFUL! Mostly because I love being able to do my computer stuff while sitting in the living room and not in the basement. This is just a warning... I will be updating my blog with our recent activities and pictures that have happened since the end of May. We have had a lot... Molly turned 2, Sydney turned 7. We are having a wonderful summer full of VBS, trips to the pool and lots of friend time.
Hope you're having a wonderful summer!
