My bathing beauties

Finley has moved up in the bathing world!  She is now in the tub chair thingy. She seems to love it and now both girls get in together!











Mia at 7 mos., Finley 6 mos.  The more I compare their actual pictures, the more differences I see…

I think their noses are a bit different and Finley’s eyes are spaced a little farther apart.  Mia had more hair at this point as well, but she is a month older.  Hmmm…

Nadia’s b-day party and Date night!

This morning I woke up and decided to mash some banana for Finley for breakfast.  We’ve been doing a few bites of food every day, until she gets it.  The bananas were, OK.  We were all bouncing around the house, getting ready, cleaning up, etc.  Mia came in the kitchen and I went to the laundry room for  a quick second and came back out to see this…

Mia took over mommy duties, and did a GREAT job!  Finley went with it and ate for her big sis!!  The love between these two is amazing.  I hope and pray is stays this way, forever!


Today was Nadia’s 4th birthday!  Of course Mia was so excited to go, that is her BFF!!


These two a two peas in a pod!  They get along so well and just love being together!!

After the party, we headed back home because Nana and Aunt Terri were coming to get the girls so that we could have a painting DATE NIGHT!!  Although I missed my babies, we had a great time!

Meme, Poppy and Ben also went painting!



Before we even STARTED painting, Meme got paint on her back, then apparently leaned up against Pops and got paint on his brand new shirt!  Never, never, a dull moment!




The nice gentleman behind us offered to take our picture, and of course we got a classic photo bomb, by none other than my sweet, special baby brother.




Ben’s and mom’s painting.  Don’t let Ben fool you, he WON the blue painting.  He DID NOT paint that one.  And no, I will not let him claim it, either.  He’s standing there all proud, thinking he’s gonna own that one.  HA


All of the paintings.  Dave’s, mine, Ben’s, mom’s and dad’s.


We had a great time!

Aquatic Center

Daddy is on shutdown this week, and since we aren't going on vacation, we are living it up here at home!

Today we packed a lunch and went to the local aquatic center!



We tried to get Mia to jump off the diving board, but after walking out to the end, she decided there was no way she was jumping off!  HA!  Maybe next time ;)


This girl was a champ all day!


Swimming makes you hungry!


And sleepy…


We came home, daddy fixed us dinner and we were all asleep by 930!  HAHA

Fun filled family day

We started our day off walking across the bridge over the Ohio river. 











My beauty




We then ate lunch at another different place called Hillbilly Tea.  It’s been on the Food Network, so we decided to try it.  Besides a few little, ahem, quirks, it was decent!  But, I DO prefer ice in my water….

We came home, grabbed all 3 of the big dogs and headed to the fenced in park/dog park.

Our fur baby…




My super hot husband and super cute baby girl!


Momma and her big girl!


After our park trip, we took the dogs back home and all went to have some yummy FroYo!!



I absolutely love my family and making the most out of our days together!!!

Friday friend time

I worked today from 7-3.  Dave had to leave at 130 because it was an early start day.  Mom and Dad were both working, so you know who watched the girls all on their own?? My 16 year old brother.  And?  He rocked it!  What 16 year old boy can you say that about?  We just love that awesome dude!

When I got home, I fed Finley and we took a short nap together while we waited on the underground fence guy.  Once all that was done, Ben, the girls and I headed over to pick up Nadia, Mia’s bestie!  Mia was so good for Ben and it had been a while since the girls had been together, so I figured I would give them some play time.  Plus, Nadia is such a good girl, I don’t mind taking her anywhere!  And the two of them have an absolute blast together!

We got Nadia and went to CFA for food and play time!



Silly selfies….




Ice cream girls!


They had so much fun!

After we dropped Nadia off at home, Meme and Ben came over and hung out with us until midnight!!!
