Swimming lessons

I signed Danielle up for swimming lessons at the end of summer at an outdoor private pool that opens to the public in the summer. It was the last session and it was only for 1 week. She absolutely LOVED it and she has so much confidence in the water now. She even puts her head under water while swiming. We are so proud of her!

Isabelle's Firsts

Isabelle is adjusting well these days! She's already 6 weeks old, time sure does fly. She wasn't a happy camper in the beginning but now she's all smiles and is cooing! She's so precious and we love her so much!! Here are some "firsts" for Miss Izzy. Enjoy!


Sisterly LOVE!


First tummy time experience.


First bath at home... it looks like she doesn't like it, but she LOVES them now!!


Ok, it's not so bad after all. In fact I think it's her favorite part of the day other than eating! :)


First Smile, well it's a dreamy smile.


First camping trip at 5 weeks!! Pretty impressive!


The grandma's and great grandma's with the babies.


Her adorable smirk! She smiled at me but I didn't catch it in time.


Our first walk in the stroller... looks like someone might be a bit big for the stroller?! But Danielle loves her walks!!


My little cupcake! The fuzzy hat barley fits her. this hat fit Danielle at 8 weeks. Guess Danielle has a big noggin! :)

Danielle's 4th Birthday!!

Our little Miss Punky isn't so little anymore, she turned 4- 14 days after her baby Isabelle joined our family. She had such a great birthday with family and friends. Even though it rained at her party, the kiddos still had a blast! Danielle is now asking when she turns 5 so she can have a birthday again. I guess her 4th birthday was pretty special. :)


Danielle all ready for camp with her birthday shirt on!!


On our way to Red Robin for dinner with our famous family Birthday Hat & the fancy shoes of course!
