4th of July

We had such a great 4th of July weekend. It started Friday night with great friends at a BBQ. The girls had so much fun swimming and eating. We then had a BBQ with family and neighbors at our house with again yummy all american food and fireworks. The girls had a great time watching fireworks. The bottom picture I love because Hanna is giving Dad the thumbs up on his firework display. I am so grateful to live in America and have the freedoms that we have. I could not have asked for a better way to spend 4th of July!

Times like these






This summer has been a lot of fun so far but it has been challenging for me. I want to have a fun summer for the girls but being pregnant really makes simple things difficult like walking from the car with 2 kids and a bag full of stuff to the pool. After the short walk and getting settled I am ready to go home! Not to mention the 90 degree heat! I really should not complain because I am so grateful of how well this pregnancy has gone and that I can still get around and do fun things with the girls. The girls love the water park and Hanna finally will go under water! That is huge for her because a couple of years ago one little drop got on her face and she would have a breakdown. Hanna is doing better on her bike but fell over while on a bike ride with dad and did not want to ride her bike for while. So we got her a helmet and knee pads which has helped a little but she is still a little scared to go on bike rides. Ava is starting to talk a lot more, well I can understand her at least. They finally started playing together without fighting for at least half hour increments which is a break through. They still fight but at least I can clean or cook now without constantly breaking up fights. I love the pic of them in the hammock because they thought it was so much fun and were not fighting! Little moments like these make all the bickering worth it!
