Summer Fun


Olivia was SO proud to ride a horse. Claire rode for a minute before she decided it was too scary. Liv even rode without me standing next to her. What a brave girl ;)

I've been trying to pack in as much fun and activities as I can handle this summer before the baby comes. The girls have gotten to do lots of fun things. Today we went to Kangaroo Zoo (a place where they have lots of bounce houses), we have also gone to a farm (2 times), we've gone swimming a few times and Liv has taken swim lessons. She really learned a lot in her 2 week course. They have also played in the backyard nearly every day. Half the time they turn on the hose and end up in the kitty pool. They are LOVING the new play set. It took awhile for them to get used to it, but now they love to play out there all day. We've also been up to the canyons a few times, and had a lot of backyard BBQ's. Olivia is getting so tan and Claire is still as white as me. It is weird since BOTH of them get sunscreen. Livie obviously doesn't have my coloring ;) And you may think "poor Claire" but she has the most beautiful porcelain skin, so it's not so bad. Even if she does burn within a minute of being in the sunshine ;) They are both having a great summer. Claire has switched to a big girl bed. She was doing great... things are rather questionable the last few nights though. We will over come the sleepless nights though... some day.

I just love those girls. I'm (once again) weepy with gratitude just looking at them (especially after seeing that innocent sleeping picture). You have packed a lot of fun into the summer. Good for you! I laughed when I looked at the first picture because I think Livie has Gramma K toes! She has room for another one next to her big toe...

Oh! I forgot. I loved the picture of Liv on the horse. She looks just like YOU! I think the only reason Liv doesn't look exactly like you is because you don't share the same type of eyes. Otherwise she truly resembles you as you looked when little.

Sounds like you guys are having lots of fun and staying busy. I love all the pictures of the girls, especially the swing at sunset and sleeping pics. Love the names you have picked as well.

You are such a great photographer Sarah. I love the picture of the silhouettes swinging and the last one of them sleeping. Precious. You are getting so close! I can't wait to meet this little sweetie, whatever her name is! :)
