Pictures Pictures Pictures!

Okay, yes, another long hiatus, I know.  I am a horribly inconsistent blogger.  Thanks for pointing that out!  I will get better, I promise.  I'm working on it.  What I need to do is schedule some time every day to write, instead of sporadically hopping online whenever I feel like it.  Anyway, let's see if I can get caught up to today.  I wanted to share what we've been up to these past three weeks. 

So, June 7th:

Greg created a zip line slide for the kids using our dog's zip line. 

Landen absolutely loved it.  He refused to get off!

Just hanging around.

Aleyah and her besties!

Okay, I just thought this picture was hilarious.  Not sure what Aleyah is saying, but Kena must think it's pretty scandalous!

This is how Carlie relaxes after a long day.  

June 9th, one of the most horrible days I've ever had in my life.  Makena was attacked by a dog, one we didn't believe to be aggressive.  I am thanking God every day that nothing worse happened.

She's my brave girl.  Luckily, no stitches were needed.

This was the worst wound, a puncture mark on her arm.

June 10th: Carlie's Birthday Party!  She had a great day with presents, cake, and mots importantly, family.

Is this for me?

She rips so daintily.

Aleyah wanted to help her open presents.

This is how Landen spent half the party.

This was the men's corner of the party.

My little trooper.  She didn't look nearly as beat up as we thought she would.

Gimme those presents!

Ooh, that's cute.

She did eventually rip some open.

Carlie's Cake.

Happy Birthday Baby!

Can I touch it?

Licking frosting off her fingers.

Mmmm, Yummy!

Frosted fingers.

Tired baby.  She didn't even want to rest of her cake.

So we had cupcakes later.

It was VERY good.

Some Randoms from the 11th to the 21st:

Carlie and Daddy.  Best Buddies.

Taking pictures with the flowers.

He's "hiding" in the flowers.

Love this one!

Just watching the cars drive by.

Jump Jump!

Girl talk.

Kena being naughty on the swing.

Caught you!

This shirt is perfect for her!

Just relaxing.

I love this time of the day, when I can sit down and rest for just a few minutes.

Goofy girl.

Diva Mode.

She did not like the rain on her head.

Mom, get me out of here.

June 22nd- June 24th:  Aleyah, Makena, Landen, and I went on a three day trip to the Cities.  We went to Como Park Zoo Friday, Mall of America and Nick U on Saturday, and then Sunday we made our way back home.  We stayed overnight for the first time and got to play in a supremely awesome pool perfect for little ones.

Watching the flamingos and ducks swim.

Helping Auntie take pictures.

Watching Sparky!

So, that catches up up to this week!  Coming Sunday I will post how our week was this week (trust me, it won't be nearly this long!).  Also coming Sunday, I'm going to challenge myself to do a picture a day, which I will post here.  AND since July is the start of a new month, I am going to start working on a few other things I've wanted to do with the blog.
