Lilly Lou Lou

My pretty girl. 

Baby Goats

While in Michigan visiting Gramma and Grampa a couple weeks ago, we had the privalege of getting to visit some of their friends' baby goats.  The kids thought it was pretty neat and still talk about it every once in a while. :)

Yum Yum Corn on the Cob

Gibby's first taste of corn on the cob.  I gave him a fresh one to start and he didn't do anything with it.  So I cut the corn off the cob and gave it to him. Still not interested.  Later during the meal, he asked for my cob and went to town on it!

Sneak a kiss

And I'm not taking about one on the cheek.  Gibby found a hershey kiss on the floor and thoroughly enjoyed his find.  Little stinker.

Park fun

Campfire and marshmallows with friends

Bath Buds

Lilly and Gibson typically take baths together these days. (Since Owen is the biggest, he wants to take a shower.) The two have quite the good time together.

Garden Produce

The kids have enjoyed helping pick the start of our produce from our garden this year--strawberries and lettuce.  

For lunch, Owen asked if he could have lettuce (meaning a salad).  He told me exactly what toppings he wanted on it.  I wasn't sure if he would actually eat it...but he sure did.  Every last leaf. 

Lilly and Owen wanted their picture eating lunch too. :)

Fun in the Sun

Our cousin, Addi, came over for her first overnight last night. The kids have had alot of fun playing together.  We roasted marshmallows over a campfire last night and have spent alot of time outside.  All morning, the kids played in the kiddie pool and sprinkler while Gibson took a nice long nap. :) 

Popsicle time!

 Owen and Lilly making their "delicious" faces!

1st separated overnight

Owen made plans to spend the night at Mimi and Papa's.  He was SO excited to go on an overnight by himself, he couldn't take his nap that afternoon. When Lilly caught wind of the news, she looked lost.  How would life be without her big brother around?  So we made arrangements for her to spend the night at Grammie and Papa's.  She was super excited and immediately went to "pack" and put her hat on. Here she is all ready to go. Only the bare necessities, of course.

Here's Owen all ready to go:

Sweetness

 Owen saw Lilly getting her picture taken and wanted to join the spotlight.  He put his arm around his sister and wanted me to take a picture. Sweet.

Monkey #3

We officially have 3 babies who are climbers! Gibson recently discovered how to pull out the chairs, and climb all the way to the top of the table--where he screams and squeals and dances a little jig of accomplishment with his little feet. (On this particular time, I turned around and found him like this and he shook his head "no" with this big goofy grin while I quick snapped the pic = bad mom moment)
