More July 4th Daytime

July 4, 2009

Baby Girls first 4th. She loved the fireworks. She put her head back and just gazed.

The girls had fun with Sparklers, of course.


This is the neighborhood crew (well 1/2, the other 1/2 was out of town)

Our neighbor, Nick, goes crazy every year. These are the legal ones, NOT!

A look back...

I was rummaging through pictures from 4th of July's in previous years and thought I would share. Last year, Al and I trekked across half the country to pick up a boat. The girls stayed with my parents, so I have no pictures in their red, white and blues :(

I have no idea why this is so small. I had to cut and paste it from Walmart's photo site. I couldn't find these pictures saved on my computers. Perhaps it's the one that crashed??? This was 2 years ago. Lou 4, Poo 2

I made these hats for the girls the same year. They were fun...Lily loathed it, way worse than hate. Refused to wear, screaming kind of hate.


The last 2 were 3 years ago (2006). Lou 3, Poo 1

9 months

Lauryn has big beautiful brown eyes. My girls all have the same parents, I swear. Landree has green eyes, Lily blue, and Lauryn's brown. What's up with that?

Lauryn loves to walk around assisted. She going to be walking and running before we know it!

Sisters

Little stink loves to climb the stairs and she's really fast. I'll say, "Lauryn, No, no, come back down", she giggles and climbs faster. Sometimes I just let her go. I figure by the time she makes it all the way to the top she's wore out and ready for bed.

Al plopped her up in a windowsill. She's half laughing, half yelling at Al.

Birthday Girl

For Lil's birthday we went swimming at the YMCA and then had a barbeque.


So, do you think my girls confused on her age because the only candle I could find was 5??? Honestly, she didn't know the difference. She wants to be 5 so bad! I think she's in denial.

I'm 5!

"No Lily, you're 4"..."Mommy, am I 5"..."NO, Lily you are 4!!"





We started Lily's birthday with a party with all of her friends at her daycare. She had a blast.

You want a what???

Lou has been going to Paradise Community Center for track break. They have a large water slide that Lou has be dying to go down. Today was the day. Technically you have to be 48 inches tall, she's about 46 1/2. It's been a bummer but they let her go down it "like 12 times" today.

In the car I tossed my phone back to her and had her call Dad to tell him she got to slide, finally. At the end of the conversation she hung up the phone. This is where the story gets good. "Mommy I want a cell phone"
"excuse me, a what?"
"a cell phone. All of my friends have one".
"friends at Paradise?" (the kids at the center look older)
"No, my friends at Aggie-Roberts"
Who?"
"Sophia, Rayna, Molly, Sydney..."
I just laughed- Are you kidding me? My girl just turned 6 years old! She has 3 more weeks of kindergarten left. What exactly does a 6 year old need with a phone??? Wholey Moley- I'm in for it.

Do your children have cell phones or have they requested one? What is the right age now? I was hoping to hold off until at least high school!
