Ice Cream & Puddles

All the kiddos having some ice cream!

After ice cream, big fat rain and a beautiful rainbow-this was the entertainment of choice!

Splish, Splash-everyone got a bath that night!

Caroline & Daddy-she did not want to be held-wanted to be down and dirty with the big kids!

This was our Wednesday night small group from church-we met for some ice cream & fellowship and had some unexpected rain that turned into lots of fun for the kids!

How did they get out there?

Sweet girls

Just call her DJ Claire

Check out the hat (its Caitlin's), the bling (prizes from swim lessons) and her lanyard (she calls it her work badge)

There are just no words....she is hysterical! She makes us laugh everyday! She is totally into pretending right now and loves to play-so creative!

Throw & Chase-a new favorite game

Celebrating Carolines first birthday with all our friends, some fun at the farmers market on Saturday, lots of dates for mommy and daddy (yay! a movie, a trip to the shooting range, and a yummy dinner date) and lots of good time with Grandma and Grandpa for the girls!

Caroline Elizabeth~

What a precious gift you are and such a blessing to our family. Your smile lights up the room and your laugh is contagious! You are so sweet and make each day a new adventure. Our family became even more alive when you joined us and we cant imagine life without you! You are curious, daring and always wanting to try new things. You are independent, funny and loving. You are the second half to my heart and make me love my job as a mother. Everyone thinks you are adorable and everyone wants to be around you. You are the best thing that ever happened to your sister-she loves you more than you will ever know. You are a perfect mix of your Daddy & I and we love your own little personality too! We love you so much and cant believe your first year is already over. What a great one-the best :)

Lots & Lots of Love-Mommy
