Family Reunion

We went to Kentucky this past weekend for a family reunion and to celebrate Ma's 84th birthday. Our family from Texas was able to come in too! I had never met my cousin, Jason's kids who are the same age as Anna and Ella. It was so much fun having the whole family together!

Anna and Jayden had fun playing together!

4th of July and 8 Months

Happy 4th of July to everyone!

We had a great weekend with Nana and Poppy. They came to town Friday and have been here all weekend. Thanks for our date night Friday and allowing us to go to a cookout Saturday afternoon and night! We love our girls, but enjoy time away from them! Last night we all went to the Butcher Shop for dinner, then Joe and I took Anna to World's Fair Park for fireworks. Anna LOVED riding on the Ferris Wheel and the fireworks!

Ella Ruth was 8 months old on Saturday. She is changing so much. She now has 4 teeth, is sitting up really well, and is so close to crawling. She smiles and talks all the time and has fun playing with her sister.

Father's Day Weekend

We had such a relaxing Father's Day weekend this year. Friday night, Joe took Anna to her first movie..Toy Story 3. I think they both had a great time! Joe said Anna had lots of popcorn and sat in his lap for the whole movie, with just one potty break! Then Saturday morning we were lazy and then headed to "The Beach" to swim. Saturday night we went to Red Robin for a yummy burger! Then yesterday we came home after church and just relaxed. We ended the weekend with ice-cream at Marble Slab last night! Happy Father's Day Joe! We love you! Sara, Anna, and Ella

Enjoying ice-cream with his girls! Well, Ella didn't get any.

Ella is so good at keeping her hands on her tray or table now!

Daddy took Anna on a Father's Day date Friday night. They went to see her first movie in the theatre...Toy Story 3. Joe said she LOVED it and ate alot of popcorn. I think Daddy had more fun though!

Anna giving Daddy his Father's Day gift before their date Friday.

Last year when we went to "The Beach" I was pregnant with Ella. I'm so glad she is here so the girls can play together at the pool!

Anna is so brave in the water now!

The bumbo was very helpful at the pool! Ella enjoyed splashing in the water.

Poppy came to visit and to bring back our van. We enjoyed lunch at Wasabi. Thanks Poppy!

Ella's first biter biscuit. She LOVED it, but it was VERY messy.

We went to visit baby Ava last week!

Thanks for the matching dresses from Hawaii Nana and Poppy!
