Happy 5th Birthday!

I can't believe they are 5 years old! My little baby girls who weren't even 5 lbs are now 5 years. They are such a joy and I loved celebrating their birthdays with them :)

Sophie's cake - A blue morpho butterfly (learned in preschool)

Olivia's cake - Belle from Beauty & the Beast

Evie's Thomas the Train Cake - to be shared with cousin Nick

The second birthday celebration :)

Modeling their stuff :)

Happy 5th Birthday Girls!

The Loves of my life :)

Vacation Fun!

This is vacation

My favorite view on a quiet warm summer day :)

Ben & Gwen get flocked by scavengers looking for free popcorn!

After playing Jenga with the girls one morning, Evie and Olivia decided to make a cross with the pieces

I love catching their jumps on camera

Tan lines :)

"Let's jump in holding hands!"

"Olivia?"

"Okay... Ready? 1...2...3...

Go!

Evie goes tubing - her favorite, second to skiing :)

Do you think Olivia like tubing?

My crazy rough-riders :)

Evie and Lilly ski doubles and make some contact

Sophie skies...

... and Sophie falls. But she's a trooper!

Olivia skies with a lot of convincing! She did great!

It was a great week! We are so blessed to have my Grandpa's cottage to vacation at, and to visit weekly. Thank you so much Grandpa, and happy 90th B-day!!!!!

My Ski Queen!

Brave little Evie. She has a desire to ski unlike any child I have ever known... well except for cousin Lilly! She didn't get it from me! I used to hide in the cottage because I knew my dad wanted me to ski! Evie thinks it's the greatest! She counts all week how many sleeps until she gets to go back to the cottage and go skiing again!


Oops! The dismount was a little crazy, but she worked on it and has it now!


Doubles with cousin Lilly! This was a first ever at the cottage! These two girls are hilarious! They have such a blast together!





Getting ready to sit down and let go...

A perfect double dismount!

Evie now likes to go outside of the wake, wave at everyone on the lake as she goes by, give us the signal for another lap, and jumps on her skis! She is a crazy woman! Ha!
Oh, and she loves tubing too - she is equally as crazy on those!
