Some More Summer...

Peyton slept over after soccer camp one night last week...
My red headed ghosts....!
More funny then frightening....!





PEEK-A-BOO Piper....



We were watching our sweet neighbor-dog Lexi the other day....
The two dogs have a ball together...
Piper was saving herself!

This morning me and my cuties went to Rooster for breakfast then headed to City Garden to splash and play, then a stop at the Science Center before nap time!  Tomorrow we leave for a 5 day getaway to Innsbrook with Gammie and Pop-Pop!  Can't wait!

Silly girls

While eating dinner last night, somehow we started talking about commercials...favorite and least favorite.  We decided that car commercials are the WORST..always so loud and yelling and obnoxious.... here's the girls' take on a car lot commercial....

Sunday Summer Sweetness

The day started with a little Piano Practice....
Totally snuck a video bc she does NOT like if I take pictures AT ALL!

Next up....
Dress up in MY COSTUME
She's a teenager....!


Ryan and Peyton came over for a playdate...
They had a great day!  Basement play, arts & crafts, wrote and produced a movie, then pool time!
Piper was stoked for all the fun when she woke up from her nap!




Piper was inspired by the big kids' giant jumps....
She's working her way up to solo jumps into the big pool... Right now you have to have a VERY CLOSE eye on her...she hurls herself into the big pool if you are anywhere near...!

Here's she is practicing her form....

Home Sweet Home...

Even though we had an incredible mini-vacation, I said to Adam the night we were back sitting out by the pool, it's really nice to love where you come home to, and we do!

Our last two days have been filled with good old fashion fun!


Although I have no photos of the process or the final product, Annabelle and I made some homemade pizza dough for Friday Night Pizza Night!  I'm proud to say it was sooooo delicious...everyone cleared their plate....the bonus of cooking with this little lady these days...she does the dishes!  Score!

We've made our fair share of pizza dough attempts and it's always "ehhh".  This one was a winner! We used Whole Wheat Pastry Flour to health it up a little....Here's the recipe if you want to try: CLICK HERE



Later that night Annabelle opened her hair salon....
First Client...Pippa!






Annabelle and I decorated some Monogram letters we cut out of cardboard....You can no longer tell whose is whose........!  Her 6 yr old skills have caught my 35 yr old ones...ha!

Movie Night in her drive-in space ship!





This AM it was BEAUTIFUL out so we hit up the backyard for lots of water fun!





WATER IS ALWAYS A WINNER....CLICK HERE For a video

A mini-vaca!

Our little family headed to Table Rock Lake for a short getaway over the All-Star Break!  We stayed at Stonewater Cove and it was glorious!  Adam and I can both get used to being catered to 24/7!  Everything was just perfect and easy and beautiful!  

Here are the photos we got...too busy relaxing to have our phones with us!





















The girls had an early dinner and they brought our lovely meal to our cabin after our cuties fell asleep.  Lots of delicious food, and drinks on our deck each night....Sooooo relaxing...








Whatever you wanted to do...the staff made happen.
S'mores at your own personal fire at 6PM...why not!



BEAT!  Finishing up the Barbie Movie....!  
Adam enjoyed it too..!
