Annie's Tea Party

Aunt Liz planned a girly tea party for the girl cousins, as well as some friends, which turned out so very cute!

The girls got very "fancy" for the party after swim lessons. :)

And showed just how 'girly' they can be ;)

There was a craft and a princess bingo game

And a very cute little lunch! Even the sandwiches were cut in the shape of flowers.




 The girls with Annie - the glasses crack me up!


It was a sweet, girly, fun morning!

New addition to the backyard! :D

We finally decided to buy a new play set for the girls - so much fun!

Camryn checking out the start of the project when the installer arrived at 7:30am.

About 6 hours later it was all done - ready for play!!










Annie came to play, too!!




It has been so fun to see the girls just run out to the yard to play (and they have enjoyed taking their lovies out there, too. :))


JUNE!

June always seems like a busy month that has lots of fun things going on - school wraps up, summer schedule begins, hot weather ramps up, spontaneous trips to the lake, and just lots of outdoor fun!

We had some fun events in June, but wanted to make sure to capture all of the in between moments, too!!

End of the school year involved my Kindergarten field trip to the Critter Barn. The beginning of our day included feeding baby cows a bottle - and being a teacher, I had the privilege of holding one of the bottles. A couple classroom parents sent me pictures showing my skill at this... :)


The last week of school, Camryn got sick - her poor tummy was just not happy. I had to use one more sick day for the year and stay home for snuggles.


Luckily she was feeling better by the evening of her last ballet class :-)

And she got some Fuzzy Peach to celebrate her final class :) Cutie in her tutu downtown Zeeland

I got a new bike for my birthday, and with the warmer weather, we had fun riding outside together!


Taylor trying out a ride without her training wheels. Not quite ready yet, but we will keep trying this summer!

A couple cute CamCam moments....
Snuggled up after playing around on the splash pad

Looking all cute with her beach wavy hair - somehow her hair looks cute messy or straight :)

And this is the result of lots of playing outside, later nights, and no afternoon naps for a couple days. She crashed at 5:45 one evening.

The girls completed another two weeks of swim lessons. Cam had Miss Brie, again!
Jumping in


Gliding on her tummy


Going for a ring on the steps

Got it!

After the last swim lesson, we ate brunch at Anna's House together. The girls wanted to try a cinnamon roll - YUM! 


Speaking of pools, Taylor got an invitation to a pool party from two of her classmates - Giselle and Deacon. They live in our neighborhood. Taylor's K teacher was there with her family, too, which was a lot of fun!








Another fun pool invitation came from Miss Emma - the girl's favorite babysitter. They LOVED getting to play with her in the pool!


Silly sisters...
They set up a cute dinner for themselves on the floor - even included a flower as their centerpiece. :)
Camryn saying the prayer before the meal :)


For breakfast one morning, they even surprised me by "making breakfast". They told me that I couldn't come out of my bedroom until it was ready. They had the table set up - poured the cereal and milk by themselves, and gave each of us water with ice cubes. :) It was adorable, and they were so proud of themselves.

New goggles!

Picking up some new books from Barnes and Noble - a FAVORITE place to go browsing!! 

Cam got cold and wore my sweatshirt

Taylor visited the summer library at her school

We have been watching softball games in the evening

And summer break means I am awake enough to have a drink out on a weekday night. ;)

We also had a cookout with Jon and Katie and the twins - there was lots of play in the little kiddie pool. :)

And the last picture I had to include in June was the girls all packed up, ready for a three day visit at "Camp Mem". I had a three-day training, and with Ryan working, my mom agreed to hang out with the girls at the lake house. The girls were very excited!

More June fun posts to come....July is almost here!
