Dresses

Well this summer is flying by already! Sorry for the lack of posting! Unlike the fast moving summer, the internet connection is SLOW since we're visiting MN, so not sure how many posts are going to happen this month! Anyway, here are some pictures from before we left...meant to post them sooner, but then packing and traveling happened! So many more pictures have been taken in the last few weeks, but these were already ready to go so we're going to pretend summer hasn't quite started yet! Ha! Hopefully we haven't lost all our readers.....all 4 of you....but we promise to catch up soon!

Our friend Sarah sent these super cute dresses and flip flops out before we left and it reminded me of the other 2 matching dresses the girls have and we had to have a few days of picture taking ridiculousness.

The "twirl test" yep....its a hit!

Grandma Peggy made these adorable dresses and here is Gretta teaching Maggie Ram-Sam-Sam.

Last, but not least, Grandma Rachel picked these out before we even moved from MN! Absolutely gorgeous!

SO much fun taking these pictures and I actually got quite a few good shots, mostly of them just being themselves! Thanks for the wonderful dresses everyone!!

And then just some more examples of high-heeled cuteness. These are a couple pics I'd been saving for a rainy day when I didn't have anything to blog about, but now I finally remembered them so I'm sticking them in here!

Hopefully catch up soon! Until then, hope this will tide you over and you can be patient with us! We've been enjoying our visit and have spent quite a bit of time at the lake and have lots of fun pictures to show!

Homing it up

So you may or may not remember I mentioned "house projects" in a post a while ago....well, we haven't really shown a lot of pictures of our new house but there is a serious lack of color on the walls and we all know I can't live with that. I've also been trying to be good about getting some before and after shots....so here we go!

Entryway before.....

And AFTER! Paint and some crafty projects for the walls!

I stitched the little h, wrapped some yarn around an embroidery hoop, put some fabric in the other hoops, printed out "What I love most about my home is who I share it with" quote and a little scrapbook paper in the square white frame. 

Photobucket
As exciting as I find house projects I figured we couldn't do a post without the girls!

Another view of her Barbie battle scars. Yikes, they look worse now!

And some pool time, it was 96 here yesterday!
