Our Fourth of July 2010

Did you say chickens?

 So us girls went to visit John at Dr.G's house (the OB who delivered the twins) to see how the "Chicken hotel" was coming along that they were building.  Somehow we left with 2 chickens and some very dirty girls from playing in the beautiful raised gardens he has that I am going to copy next summer!

 Picking out just the right chickens is a tough job and a decision not to be taken lightly.  Hannah and Dr.G talked about all of the potential adoptees and then...

 ...Hannah and Dr.G decided on the very best two!

 And in he went to catch them!  What a brave man!

 And here they are along with their very first home that came with them!  (What are we getting ourselves into?)

They have no names yet as we left still telling Hannah that we are only babysitting them for a while.... (in case they have to go home, if you know what I mean!)  But she is beyond thrilled for now and I'm sure Sadie is going to LOVE them!

Plain and simple... Yay for summer and the glorious heat that comes with it!

Goal: To spend time outside everysingle day this summer. 

Difficulty: None.  Success rate so far: 100%!

Just look at those 3 precious girls we have been blessed with.  Simply incredible.

The above picture captures all 3 girls personalities perfectly.  Hannah thrilled that she is holding both sisters at the same time, independently, AND getting ready to go down the slide....  Aspen NOT thrilled to be the middle child and smooshed yet again to try and capture a picture of all three....  and finally Brooke just excited about life and trying to clap her chubby little hands even though she has no idea what is going on or about the fact that she is in the most ackward position and will be the first to go if the train links break!

LOVE IT!

Hannah loving life!

Brooke consistantly climbs 3/4 of the way up the slide, lets go and slides back down on her belly!  Aspen is beginning to follow close behind!

Cutie :)

Not a difficult task at all when you have such happy girls!  Hope you're enjoying the sun as much as we are.  If you need a place to soak it in, stop on by!

A day at the beach

 Well it is a fact that it is hard to beat the heat here in Idaho without some source of water.  Today we decided to intake of it at the beach! 

 The twins were thrilled intaking all of their new surroundings and did not complain once about their lifejackets!  There was just too much going on for them to even care!

 The sun was hot and the temp of the water was perfect.  Even Sadie was enjoying herself.

 Swimming beauty

 The twins have caught on quickly that the way to Sadies heart is with a ball.  Brooke and Sadie became very close friends today!

Just can't get enough of Aspens sweet chubby cheeks!  Don't you want to just squeeze them! 

 Sand castles are a HUGE hit this summer.... little sisters who smash them are not.

 Brooke was hilarious!  She wasn't too sure of the sand so she crawled/walked around on all fours most of the time!

 Yes... yes... two are definitely more difficult than one.  It never fails, you save one's life just to look over and see the other one is about to dive head first off of the other side.  Oh goodness.... sigh.

 Exhausted is the only way to describe each and every one of us at the end of the day.

Sweet dreams little ones.
