Trip to California!

Grammy and Papa got the girls a cool sprinkler toy! It was a hit!



Aria decided that since she was five, and a big girl, she could try new things, like chocolate cake! I think she liked it. :-)

Aria got her first big girl Lego set for her fifth birthday. :-) Mom did most of the work, but Aria enjoyed helping! I think she will really love these as she grows up.

Papa and princess Nikki. 

We took the girls to Disneyland for Aria's actual birthday. She loved going as Ariel and made sure everyone knew who she was! We had such a fun day and stayed until closing time!

Sofia was a huge hit, of course.




We also got to spend a day at the Long Beach aquarium with Amy and Joziah Colgan. So much fun!





Ellie wanted her picture taken with the mannequin at Target. :)

Arias Artwork

This girl loves to draw! I love seeing the imaginative things she comes up with!




School begins!

The school year is off to a great start! We decided to do CC with both girls again this year, with Aria attempting kindergarten math and reading on the side. Since her birthday is late in the year, we may do another year of kinder. We'll see how it goes! With a new baby coming half way through the year, we will likely get lax on schooling. The beauty of homeschooling and a flex year! Can't believe my babies are so grown up!

August

Hot days call for lots of ice cream!

And garden harvesting. 


And relaxing in the cool house. 

Sometimes venturing out. 

And swinging. 


And music making. 

And more ice cream!

Peek a boo baby girl!

Worlds of Fun!

In August we went to Worlds of Fun with grandma and grandpa Berg and Mimi and Kyle and Kevin. It was a perfect day with great weather and no crowds! Grandma, the girls and I mostly hung out in Camp Snoopy Land while the "big kids" rode the roller coasters. 




Aria got to participate in a little Camp Snoopy show. 





July Shenanigans

We have spent and will spend a lot of time in the pool this summer! These girls just love water!



We found out that baby on the way is a girl! 3 girls! 3 sweet sisters!

And we announced her to the world. ;)

Cabela's fun... Howdy cowgirls!

Dress like a cow day at Chickfila, of course. :)

We planned our September trip to CA. 

Mommy and baby keep growing. 

Starting the Summer Off With Friends and Family

We started the summer of 2015 by saying goodbye for now to our dear sweet friends, the Frickes. Aria and Ellie miss Linah and Emi so much! These girls were fast and great friends. We look forward to enjoying their visits to Kansas when they can!


Grammy and Papa came to stay for three weeks the end of May and early June. We didn't take many pictures, but sure enjoyed the time we spent with them!

We also found out that our family would be growing by two little feet sometime around the end of the year!



Katie, Wacky, and TyTy came for a visit in June. We spent time at the pool, at Deanna Rose Farmstead, and just hanging out together. Come back soon!
