Princess Dance Camp

We had another dance camp for Sage to go to when we got back from Michigan.  She was really excited to go, there were three of her friends in the class with her.  They did a little program for the parents at the end of the camp.  I was the last parent that got back to the class - I was still on time but the dance teacher was going to start early.  That is the only reason I can think of that Sage had covered her face with her dress because I wasn't there to see her show.  Luckily I got there before it started and was able to give Rebecca my phone to get some good pictures.  We have signed Sage up for weekly ballet classes starting in early August.  She is really excited! 

 Sage and Lydia - these two have so much fun together.  

Does the shoe fit?

We have lots of princess dress-up clothes, shoes and jewelry in our house.  Sage plays with it all the time.  A few weeks ago she thought Quinn should play with her too.  She kept trying to get Quinn to wear a pair of her dress-up shoes.  It was so cute.  She kept trying and trying to get it to stay on Quinn's foot!  Quinn was more than happy to play along!

4th of July!

It was such a wonderful 4th!  The only thing missing was Reese.  We went to see our family and had a really good day.  It started off with a parade.  I think the parade was Sage's favorite part of the day.  They threw candy, confetti, and necklaces!  She was in heaven. 

Here she is at the parade!

This is where Quinn was for almost the whole parade - in Miranda's arms!   She was so content with her. 

CJ, Lucas, Brady and Sage after the parade.  All having a snack from the loot they got at the parade.   

After the parade we went out to Grandpa's cottage.  It was a beautiful sunny day.  The kids played in the water, went for a boat ride and played.  They played hard all day.  This is the only picture I took at the cottage, Aunt Terri, Quinn and Grandpa.  I love it!  It was a busy day and I must have forgotten to take any more pictures.  We were just having way to much fun!  We left the cottage after dinner to go back to my parents.  We stopped at Aunt Jane and Uncle Gene's on the way home.  Quinn was so tired and wouldn't fall asleep - instead she screamed for a half hour.  Got her home and she went right to sleep.  We ended up doing a few fireworks with Sage and she finally went to bed around 10pm!   It was a long but good day. 

Holding hands!

This was one of the pictures I took while we were up north to send to Reese.  We were gone for two weeks.  It was a long time for all of us - we were glad to be back together!  Love that they are holding hands in the picture. 

Cousins!

These kids had lots of fun together up north.  Here they are at the end of the day watching a show together. 

They are all getting so big!

Food

Quinn is still doing great with food!   She has been loving all the things we have introduced to her.  The only ones that have to be mixed with something else are strawberries and raspberries.  I usually add pears or apples to those and she is good to go!   Here she is up north getting ready to eat.   So nice that Nana has a booster seat up there - one less thing to bring!

Throwing Rocks!

While we were up north we went to a local park that is right on the water.  The kids were more interested in throwing rocks in the water than playing at the playground.  They had so much fun!

 Sage and Nana!

 Love this girl!

Brady and Sage having fun.

Exersaucer

While we were up north Quinn was able to use an exersaucer that we had borrowed from our friend Alicia.  It was so nice to have it there for her and not have to haul one from our house.  As you can see - she loved it!

Haircut!

We were up at my parents for two weeks, the last week of June and the first week of July.  It was just the girls and I, as Reese was traveling for work.  We got our hair cut while we were up north.  Sage did so good!   Last year she had to sit on my lap - not this year!  Here she is being such a big girl!   Her favorite part was sitting under the hair dryer!
