Brenna waiting to fill up a water balloon. She is really good at putting the balloon on the hose.
Heather blew up many balloons. Too bad Cooper kept popping them so we never had enough for a full water balloon fight. It was still fun.
We babysat for Avery and Jaxon one day and had a blast playing inside and outside. Brody having fun running through the sprinkler.

Brenna and Jaxon taking a break to enjoy a freezie.
Brody taking a break too. 
Avery even had her own water to play in.
Brenna with Avery. Brenna rocked Avery and sang her all of the lullabies that I sing to her. I tried capturing it on video, but Brenna instantly stopped singing when she knew what I was up too.
Jorja's first birthday party was at the Osseo Inn on Saturday, July 11th. The kids had a blast swimming and Brenna finally let me let go of her when she is in the floatie. Sorry you have to see me in my swimsuit but I liked the picture of Brenna and I very rarely have pictures of my children and I. Steve was on camera duty and did a good job! 
Mr. Goggle Man!
Jeremy would not stop squirting me with the squirt gun. So much for keeping my hair dry.
Waiting for Jorja to open her presents. We bought her a doll and some puzzles.
Jorja enjoying her 1st birthday cake. It made me think back to Brenna and Brody's 1st Birthday when they made a big mess of their cakes. 
Sunday Brody got to go golfing for the first time with his dad and Papa. He got to putt a few times and came back very happy. Brenna went to church with Nana so I actually had a couple of hours in my house without children. Steve told me to relax when they were gone. I cleaned and did laundry of course!
Thanks to Auntie Lisa we had big sheets of tag board to use. Yesterday(Monday) we decided to finger and foot paint. The kids made a big mess but had a lot of fun.
It started out with the hands and brushes....
and ended up with the feet!
Today (Tuesday), Abbi had gymnastics and Brenna and Brody had Tot-Nastics in Eau Claire. At the last minute, I decided to pack a lunch so we could eat at a park in Eau Claire. Otherwise I knew we would end up going out to eat. We decided to go to Owen Park, which is a park that Carrie used to take Brenna and Brody to quite often. 
Last week while at Aunt Jessie's house, Brenna and Brody were able to go across the monkey bars independently! They were very excited and so was I. No more holding onto them as they go across.
Brody went across them before I could get my camera ready.
This is the face you get from Abbi when you tell her to give her best smile for her mom. :)
At Owen Park, the kids also enjoyed throwing rocks in the river and looking for the "coolest rocks ever." Brenna and Brody would find a rock and asked Abbi if it was cool. I finally had to tell them that they could decide on their own if the rock was cool. Brenna and Brody both love Abbi and want her approval for everything! It was a great afternoon!
