Summer Catch-up

Ahem. I took a sabbatical from blogging (and became terrible about taking my camera around. I'm just happy these days when me and the girls leave the house with clothes on our bodies, shoes on our feet, and our hair brushed). Thankfully Devin has kept up the blog. Hooray for my fantastic husband.

Here are some pics from the last little bit.

We got this amazing hutch and made it a family activity to paint it. Cambry loved painting. Vienna was done after she got her finger tips frosted in blue.

Finished product after 2 layers of paint and "vintaged" on the edges.

We got to go see Margaret and Jessica play soccer

Goalie Jessica.

Baby Gwenyth had her baby blessing in my parents back yard a couple weeks ago. Here's the priesthood

We moved our girls into the same bedroom and they just party all night. They're getting better now that we made a bed chart for them that seems to help, but this was a common scene when they were first adjusting, cuddled up in the morning or afternoon with each other and their blankets watching Dora.

We went to the zoo with our friends the Reeses. Cameron insisted on holding Cambry's hand the whole time. Sometimes Cambry would let her.

Naturally, the statues were a bigger hit than the animals.

This polar bear is a great performer. He swims under water and pops out at the glass, letting the kids there cheer and/or wet their pants

My aunt Rose gave us a piano when we moved in, and we all love taking our turns playing it. Lots of times before bed, dinner, bath time, etc, Cambry will climb up on the bench and say to me, "Just a sec mom, I need to play a few songs first."

One night Devin was out late, and I took the girls to Liberty Park at dusk. Although I was somewhat afraid for our safety, this really was a great park, and the girls had so much fun.
