Sparkly Sunglasses

We had a nice trip to Texas - it was a trip to celebrate Mimi and Pop-Pop's 50th anniversary!  What an amazing accomplishment - 50 years!  It was a low-key trip with lots of time at the ranch.  Mimi and I did get away one afternoon for some shopping and lunch with Sloan and Sage.  We went to Charming Charlie's and Mimi gave each of the girls $10 to spend.  It was so fun to watch them spend their money!  I found the clearance section for the girls and showed them how much further their money could go!  It was a very fun afternoon.  Thanks Mimi!  While on the way to shopping the girls were trying on Mimi's sunglasses.  They are all very sparkly and the girls loved them!

7 Months

This 7 month post is way behind but I had to get it up before the 8 month post that is also behind!  At least I am consistent.  At 7 months Quinn was sitting up unassisted - she was still a little wobbly.  We got out the leapfrog table and she loved it.  Anything that is not a toy is her favorite - boxes, bags, anything!  She continues to be such a happy baby!  She still loves all food - green beans were not her favorite as baby food but if you give her a whole green bean she likes it!  She loves her sister so much and just loves to interact with her.  They just each light up when the other comes in the room. Love seeing this one grow and change each day! 

Sage was helping me get these pictures taken and was getting Quinn to giggle!   The last picture I took of Quinn alone she toppled over right onto the arm of the chair.  She was not happy.  We did still manage to get a few pictures of the two of them together. 

Library Time

We haven't been to the library much this summer.  Been busy!  But we went before our trip to Texas and met up with Tracey, Andrew and Lucas.  The kids got to participate in a music class and then play in the library.  The library recently renovated the children's area and it looks really nice!   One of the changes are these circles in the wall as you enter the kids area.  Sage had to crawl right through!  

Smiles!

This one brings me so many smiles! 

Taco Date Night

Before we went to Texas we had a very fun date night.  We tried a restaurant in downtown they are know for their: Tacos and Tequila!   What could go wrong!   Well the tacos and the margaritas were both really good.  We also got the queso - yummy!  A new favorite place!

 

 A selfie at dinner!

Fabulous drinks after dinner at a bar right across the street from the restaurant.  They were so good I had to take a picture.  I have since recreated this drink at home with lots of success!  Prosecco and Limencello - my new favorite drink!  We have been talking about when we can go out again and go to the restaurant and bar again - so good and so much fun!

The reason the night was so good - love you babe!

Balance Beam

We went to the park a few weeks ago to have a picnic with Sharon.  It was a fun lunch!   Sage went and played on the playground after we ate.  She was so excited to walk on this balance beam  by herself.  I had to film it for her.  She did so well - don't mind me cheering her on in the video.  She was loving it!

Crawling!

We have a crawler on our hands!   Quinn started off with the army crawl but she is almost at a full out crawl now.  She is getting so big so fast!

 

Happy Birthday, Papa!

Today is my Dad's birthday!   Happy Birthday, Papa!   We hope you have a wonderful day.  Wish we were there to celebrate with you.

These pictures of Papa and the girls are from December 2013.  I think we need to take more pictures when we are together! 

Climbing

We met Tracey, Andrew and Lucas at the park on a beautiful sunny morning!   The kids had so much fun playing and we capped off the playtime with lunch out! 

Sage and Andrew had lots of fun climbing this.  Last year Sage wouldn't even attempt it but this time she was climbing all over it with Andrew.
