Mama has been crazy busy in my down time, and busy during the daytime with my little loves, so I'm just now getting caught up on the fun that we had the last week of June! :)
Little brother wants to eat so badly. (More on that later.) He looks at us with these big, sad eyes, and then he tries to reach for any food or drink that he can get! So, we decided to give him mum mums! They were a huge hit! :)
Once he sees them, he cannot contain himself. He goes bananas until he gets in in his hands, and then he goes straight to eating it! :)
Of course, I quickly learned that just a diaper is our best route with the mum mums! :)
This came up on my phone this other day as this day four years ago! I can't believe how little she was! I love this stage, but there are many things about her little self that I miss! This was her first plane ride! We were headed to Vancouver to board a boat for our Smith Family Cruise to Alaska! We had been up since 3:30 AM, and she was still going strong! :)
That Monday, I was feeling brave, and I took my three to meet up with some friends at the local splash pad! We had some cloud cover, so it wasn't super hot yet, and my three were excellent! I was so proud of them (and me)! :) Little brother lounged in the shade of the double stroller for awhile and just played with his toy!
Avaree immediately started playing!
She's so brave!
Felicity sat with me for about 30 minutes, and then she just warmed up all of a sudden, and she started playing in the water like she had been doing it her whole life!
Brave girl!
She was SO cute running through the water!
:)
Both girls also wanted to just sit/stand in the little circle that spouted water!
Do you spy them both? They had big smiles on their faces when the water stopped!
See? :)
Look at this face!!! :)
We had a great time at the little splash park! I love living in a place that has so many fun and free activities for kiddos! :) These are my favorite shots from the day! I was so proud of the kiddos!
I love this one too! She's slowly coming out of her shell (once she feels safe), and it is so much fun to watch!
The next day, we invited Mrs. Holly, Kendall and Wesley to go to the museum with us! We love our passes! We started out in the craft room! Ave and Kendall made paper flowers! :)
The girls were enamored with the wind tunnel!!
Felicity's favorite is always the ball!!!
Everyone loved it!
Avaree and Kendall had a ball!
Holly and I gave in and each put in a dollar for our big girls to get in the hurricane force winds simulation! Avaree begs to do this EVERY time that we go, and she's never done it before.
They had a BLAST. You could hear them squealing from the front door, i'm sure! :) 73 mph!!!
We made it though the museum, and after naps when we got home, Felicity built us a tower! She's really into building with her blocks and legos right now!
That night, I snuck away to Target by myself for 30 minutes. It was glorious. I sent this picture to Brandon! Check out all my gray hair! ;)
This was my first time to get away by myself since Brandt was born!
That next morning (Wednesday), we went to downtown Arlington and enjoyed the free children's concert at Levitt Pavillion!
We take a blanket and sit in the shade with friends! We even got there by 9am to make sure we got a great spot for our blanket and could sit by friends! :)
We got to sit by this little cutie!
And these two enjoyed some time together! :) Brandt has some beautiful girls to grow up with! :)
This picture shows my outgoing girl and my shy girl perfectly! Of course, if Felicity is warmed up and with her people, she's not shy either, but it does take her awhile! Avaree had a blast with her friend, and I promise Felicity was soon smiling, too! :)
After the concert, we drove to church, and we sat in the parking lot, so that I could feed brother! After he was finished, Avaree wanted to take a selfie before we went in for lunch with Daddy!
Thursday we had an at home recovery and laundry day! :) It was wonderful! The next day we were starting our great room transition, so I had a few things to do to get ready for that! :)
