Just having fun!

I'm playing around with my camera and my mac. The girls and I happened to be wearing bright colors that were fun to turn up the contrast on!!!  I am hardly ever in the picture so I had Juan snap some of me with the girls! 
My timing couldn't be more perfect because these little blue eyes have started going grey!!!  

 Annelise's smile won't be like this for long either!
 Julianna is getting prettier everyday!!!

First day of School!!!



Summer is officially over and the girls are really loving school! Annelise says that kinder is "a lot of work", and Julianna is just plain giddy over her little friends!!!  Julianna hasn't really showed an interest in playing with girls other then her sister, until now!!!  I'm so proud to see her play with others so well! Annelise still isn't very chatty about her day, so i'm not sure what she really thinks about it? So far this year is starting of great and I think the girls are going to thrive!  I am bursting with pride for these sweet, and wonderful girls!

Just playing on the Ipad. . .

 This summer has been jam packed with visitors and trips. 
So when Annelise's kindergarden teacher asked what exciting things she did this summer, and her response was "playing on the Ipad", I was shocked! 
 This year Julianna asked to be in Ballet, so here she is!  She seams to love it so far! 
 We were lucky enough to squeeze in a visit to the Hyatt Hill country resort, while Dad worked. The kids had a blast!!!  It is one of my favorite hotels! They have thought of it all! 

 Nightly S'mores, no less!!! They were sooooo delicious!  

 Marielle even got the graham cracker part every night too!  mmmmmm cookies and milk! 


 They had a lazy river with a sandy beach entrance. All the pools were made to look like rivers and ponds. 



 Back to reality! Boy can this baby make a mess!!!  She is called "Hurricane Marielle' at our house!

 Going to the pool a lot and losing the fourth front tooth!!!
 Going to see the bats coming out of the congress bridge in downtown Austin was on our summer to do list.  The kids loved it, but I got pooped on!!! 

End of summer tea party with mani/pedis and hair bow making. 









 The girls stuck bows in Link's hair. He loved his mani/ pedi! I love a man with no shame!!!

 Ahhhhh, relaxing!


So now you know!!!  She did not just play on the stinking Ipad!!!!!?????!?!?? That girl has it so good, and she doesn't even know it! Oh well!

Happy Birthday Marielle!!!





 Marielle's Birthday is the 3rd of July, so naturally we celebrated on the 4th with family!


















 The day after we had some painting fun!!! I let the kids paint themselves too! 




 A dunk in the big bucket was a huge hit!!!
Dear Marielle,
You are by far STILL the funnest thing in the house! Your sisters are always playing with you and swooning over you! You are always happy and very friendly to everyone. You are already walking and babbling up a storm!  You have four teeth. You don't like food!?!? You give great hugs and you sleep through the night. You like to hit your sisters for fun and are already showing that you DON' T like to share! You never sit still and love to be carried around to see what's going on! You say Mama and Dada and Nana (You call both sisters "nana"). You love to be read to.
 I am crazy about you!!!!  I swear I have five new wrinkles around my eyes from smiling at you the last year!!!
You really make me so happy and I love you!!!
Love,
Mama
