Beach House Fun

Summer Insanity

I am sorry I have been so absent this summer. We have just been busy busy. With our trip to New York, Danny's return, Landon's vacation time, the annual beach house trip, I just haven't had the time to think up fun and creative things to talk about. I am sure when the school year starts up again, and in California that means not until mid September, things will be a little bit back to normal. I am bummed because without a camera I just feel like blogging is pointless! I am hoping to figure out a way to get a new camera, but for now I guess our video camera will have to work overtime. I took some fun movies at the beach house so I will have Landon show me how to put those up for you.

We have had such a fun summer! My tan is looking great. We live in such an amazing place, it is totally summer town around here. I love it. I hope you have all enjoyed this sunny season as well.

This is a picture from a year ago. Right before Lucy turned 1. I cannot believe how the time has flown by. I miss my babies already, and they aren't even grown up yet!

I though I would clarify why it is that my girls have the same birthday. Lucy was in fact induced. I chose that day. The doctor could do it that day or 3 days later and I was ready! Selfish, maybe. But I don't regret it one bit. Hopefully someday they will enjoy the fact that they have a day that is special for the two of them. I hope that it may bring them closer. Wishful thinking? I guess we shall wait and see.

Today the girls had their 4 and 2 year doctor appointments. It was so easy because the doctor checked Jolie's eyes first, then Lucy's. Then Jolie's ears, then Lucy's. You get the picture. Otherwise Lucy would have thrown a fit. It was much better for her to see Jolie do it first. She was much more trusting of the doctor that way. Then when shot time came and Jolie didn't even blink (she never does) Lucy also didn't cry. I was so proud of them!

We are definitely in a groove these days. Things are pretty easy. I think it might be time to shake things up again. We'll see.

P.S. Did I mention my baby brother is home from Zimbabwe? Hooray! I will get some pictures of him up but I find myself camera-less again. I just can't be trusted with them!

Happy Birthday!

It is the girls' birthday today. Jolie is 4 and Lucy is 2. Yes, in case you didn't already know they have the same birthday!

During the summer every Tuesday is swim day at my Grandma's house so today we will be having a little party for the girls there. I made strawberry cupcakes with marshmallow frosting, Jolie's fave. And for dinner I will be making her favorite, spaghetti and meatballs.

This is such a special day, not only for my babies but for me! Twice this day has brought amazing blessings into my life. I am so grateful for my girlies.

I love you Jolie and Lucy! Thanks for all of the happiness and pure fun that you give me everyday. I hope you have a special day today.
