4th of July Fun!

We had a fun 4th of July this year! Sandy had a great idea to have Raegan's soccer team be in the parade. The Shooting Stars had a fabulous time throwing candy and being part of the parade. Coach Jack, Coach Jaime, and Bryan monitored the candy throwing and Sandy and I rode in the truck with the little girls (in the AC). It was fun for all and Mallory drove the truck most of the time because she was screaming so much! We then headed to the community pool to swim. We stayed for 3 hours and the babies were worn out! Then we napped, ate dinner, and headed over to Heidi's house to watch the fireworks and hang out with good friends. Sloane went with us as well. It was a great day! The babies did not watch the fireworks. We decided to bring pack and plays and put them to bed. Best idea ever! We relaxed and watched the fireworks with the kids and friends. Fun time had by all! Here are some pictures from the day.

Misc. fun from the week!

Um yeah. I bought a little slide and the girls now only want to go up the big slide.

The Last Supper

The Twincesses had their last sippy of momma's milk on Saturday. They were 10 days shy of 14 months. 100% breastmilk that entire time! My freaking boobs rock! Of course they don't rock anymore but hopefully they will be rewarded for their hard work. Say in March.

Anyway, here are the twincesses enjoying their Last Supper. Spooky Man joined in as he normally does. Check out the chunks that my milk put on their thighs!

Great Wolf Lodge

We went to Great Wolf Lodge for Raegan's birthday. We had a blast! Raegan took her friends Madeline, Sydney, Kylee, and Taylor to the party. Sloane also went and was a HUGE help with the girls. We arrived at the Lodge around 1:00, checked in the hotel, and got ready to swim. We swam until 5:30 and then went up to have pizza and cake. Raegan opened her presents and we all headed back to the waterpark. When the waterpark was closing we headed up to the clock tower to listen to the storytime. It was a great time! Here are some pictures from the party!

Family Birthday Party for Raegan

We had Raegan's family birthday party a few days early because we are headed to Great Wolf Lodge on her real birthday. Everyone was here including Mary Jane, Noreen's mom. It was a bit noisy but lots of fun. Raegan was crazy and very hyper! She got lots of fun things including a Nintendo DS, video games, a basketball and net for outside, clothes, and gift cards. I can't believe my oldest will be 6 this week! Be sure to check back for pictures from Great Wolf Lodge!

Fun with Aunt Carole

Aunt Carole has been here since Ellie was born on May 27th. The girls have all had a great time with her. She has been taking them shopping, taking them to camp, and just hanging out. Here are some pictures she took this week and a few of her and the girls as well. She is on her way through Iowa and then back to Montana. We can't wait until she comes back to play more! I hope to drive to Montana next summer for a few weeks of fun. But that will be by myself so we will see!
