Our Summer Photo Shoot

Grapes and a fan please




We had the kids pictures taken while Corey was in town! We of didn't order any of these fancy ones so I wanted to share them with all of you online! Corey is 12, Allison is 3 1/2, Aubrey is 2, and Alexis is 3 months!

Happy Fourth of July!

Lexie is hanging out at home waiting for the fun day to begin!
At Uncle Gary and Aunt Sue's pool for the Gilmore 4th of July Party!

So happy!
Not so happy....
A little more excitment!
Getting ready for the fireworks! Ice cream social at Gramma and Papa Bauer's church...
Sometimes you wonder if she actually gets any in her mouth!

My little sweetie
Daddy getting the girls settled in for bed after a very long and fun day!
This is Lexie...after 12+ hours of sleep!! The child went down around 8:30 and didn't wake up until 9 the next morning!!!
Here we are at Sandy Beach in Lake Mills enjoying another beautiful day!

Aubrey needed a little nap between the beach and Chuck E Cheese for lunch!

Quality time with Papa
The whole gang enjoying lunch together!

Our family had a fantastic 4th of July! We spent the day at the Merryhill Farm pool for the annual Gilmore 4th of July Party. We couldn't have asked for better weather! The girls had a great time swimming...Allie even realized that she was able to touch the bottom and could walk to the steps by herself. After dinner there, we headed to Lake Mills to watch the fireworks...it was the first time for the girls to see them! Allie was super excited with each one...especially the purple ones. We spent Saturday morning at Sandy Beach on Rock Lake playing and splashing in the water then it was off to Chuck E Cheese for lunch with everyone! Needless to say the girls (and Josh and I too) are pretty exhausted after the two days of fun. Josh and I will be celebrating our 6th wedding anniversary tomorrow (7/6)...time flies by a little too fast! What a blest 6 years we've had together.

We hope that you all had a great time celebrating our country's birthday! God Bless America!

The Lake Mills Parade & Carnival!

Allie is getting ready for the parade to start!

The Dancing Grannies!

The kids were pretty amazed with the stilts
Aubrey enjoying her flavor ice!
And while the rest of the kids went to the carnival...Lexie slept.

Once again...trying to get the kids to sit for a picture, not always the easiest thing to do!

Snow White with a baseball bat!
Lexie just loves to hang out on her toy mat! She's learning that the lights will light up and music will play when she kicks her feet on the toys!
Ever since the girls went to the carnival in Lake Mills, they play "roller coaster" on the rocking chair. They even use a pretend seatbelt!
