Summer Love'n

Here's some fun things that went on this summer...

Ella ready for church.



Finally got a pony in Carly's hair!


Family picture.



Daddy Daughter Date. Ella and daddy went to a free summer movie put on by the theater every Wednesdays. She was so excited to go on a date.


"Back to school, Back to school to show dad I'm not a fool." (-Billy Madison) Here's Joseph on his first day back to school, telling me to stop taking pictures and get out of the middle of the road.


Ella wanted to have a try at taking pictures. Just Carly and I hanging out."


Bath babes.


Beach Babe. I know it's not at the beach but it totally looks like she's sun bathing here. I had to take a picture b/c it made me laugh.



This picture was awesome. Carly was playing with Ella's little back pack. Rolling around on the floor with it like a little kitten with a ball of yarn. After a couple minutes of playing with it she rolled back onto her stomach and the back pack was completely on her like you're supposed to wear a backpack. Genius!




Having visitors from Utah come see us. It was so nice to go swimming and share popsicles with our friends the Carters. Ella was SO happy to finally have some friends visit her. Thanks again guys, it was fun to catch up.


Vianna showed up wearing a Sleeping Beauty shirt and holding a princess blanket when Ella answered the door wearing her Sleeping Beauty jammy jams. She ran and got her princess blanket too so they could be sameies. Cute cute.


For those of you wondering... We didn't get the job at that ball park. We were really bummed out. But... here are somethings that have been making us happy this summer to make up for it all... This is so dang funny. (Well, I think so.) Carly does this thing where she snorts like a pig and bounces up and down when she wants something. I've been trying to get her to sign "more" but turns out it's taking longer than I thought. So she just snorts when she wants something. This time I think she was just doing it b/c she could see I was getting a kick out of it. She also just learned to clap her hands together this morning. Anyway, enjoy.
