The girlies

Gianna doesn't like when Jadyn gets too close for photos, so I decided to try bribery...haha. I said Gianna ...stand up and hug your sister and I will give you a surprise. She replies...what is it? ....over and over. The bribe didn't work. She wanted to know how good the surprise was first.

Gianna has grown so tall she nows is wearing 3T...such a big girl. :) Her head is over the counter tops now. Just a few weeks ago she could still fit under there.

So happy alone in photos :) She loves making up poses...all I do is snap away.

Jadyn will be 5 and a half tomorrow! My big girl wears mostly size 7 now, reads pretty well (sight words and sounding out), & loves to write us little notes...the last one was when we were driving. She says mom, here read this note. I reply I can't I am driving. She says I will read it to you... "WEEEEEE! Mom, you drive fast! Love, Jadyn " lol I slowed down after that one, but I laughed so hard.

She is so grown up...wants to help with chores, loves to cook, reads to Gianna, and has kept Hampy alive so far!

I am going to miss her happy face when she is away at school all day. Can you tell I am having an issue with this! haha

My heart!

21 days until Gianna is 2 and only 1 month until Jadyn is in real school (thanks Christina for pointing this out today ) haha. My heart hurts...my kids are growing too fast!

23 months!

Gianna is 23 months...less than a month til she is 2!! Her big question every day is if her drink is old or fresh so she knows if it is safe to drink. The other day Jadyn told me I was too old to drive and G said "Mommy is not old! She is fresh". :) She is a funny girl. She amazes us with all the things she knows and remembers. She has a great memory...another thing she gets from her daddy. She can count to 14 and knows her colors (pink and orange are her favs). We are excited she is such a cool kid, but it is hard to watch our baby get so big!!

4th of July!

Having some sugar to stay awake past 9! :)

Still working on that lollipop waiting for the fireworks....

Jadyn and the oh so lovely visor and sunglasses she decorated at Pioneer Park in Prescott. It was a great place for the kids to be all day until the firework show.

Gianna playing with the visor...she wanted no part in looking dorky...haha

David took this one...I think she was done with the photo taking....

See how nice she was smiling for me?? lol

My girls at a lake we stopped at...can't remember the name. :)

My guys posing at the lake we stopped at for just a few minutes. Next time we will rent the boat and get a better view!

Grandpa and Jady soaking up the pretty views. Hope everyone had a great 4th of July!!
