Summer fun

This is a little bit of what we have been doing this summer.....
for those that don't know... I have been taking care of my niece for about a month and a half .
I have been trying to keep them all busy as possible, having two 2 yr old has been a bit of an adjustment for me, now I know what its like to have a set of twins(sorta).

We found this awesome park this summer, it is a pond that has a beach front and on one side you can swim and the other you can fish, it is the coolest place ever. The kids Love it!!

We have also had a lot of back yard adventures, Taylor has been very helpful with the girls, trying to keep them out of trouble is a big job.

We have also had a few adventures at Grandpas cabin, they also love it there, all new thing to get into.

We finally got to use the back seat in the ranger, the girls love riding back there as you can see. Just wanted to share a few pics with you all hope you are having a great summer as well.

Ring Around the Rosies

I just love this little girl!

Olivia and Gracie were jumping on the tramp and playing ring around the rosies

Pocket full of posies

ashes ashes we all fall down

They were having way too much fun!!

They have such fun together, they are too funny they have to do what the other is doing, they have to have the same clothes if we go shopping together they want what the other is getting and If we make clothes for them , then they want the same thing. Jenny and i got the same fabrics to make them dress's , here Olivia is wearing what she call's her princess dress or dee haa dress, because it has princess's and horse's.

They were having so much fun!

I'm glad they have each other to play with!

Some close racing action,whew !

I think he had fun,and it seemed as though most of the boys had a great time,lots of cheering and yelling going on ! There were a great variety of designs including a cool yellow "short bus" a grey skull car that said awesome on the front,a blue LA dodgers car,Orange rocket car with cool silver engines,A white Milk car,silver Lamborghini,Eagle,an American flag,and a host of others that were equally impressive.All in all,the kids seemed to have a great time,and most are already planning a showdown next year !

(oh did I forget to mention that he Won first place???) Waa-Hoo Way to go Taylor!!! It sometime helps to have a racing Dad!

A Boy and his Quilt

This is My sweet Boy Taylor......He really loved his quilt he got for x-mas! I made a matching one for my granddaughter Isabella and started one for Olivia, I was a very busy girl at x-mas time. I did Finish a paper doll x-mas quilt for Olivia but never got a pic of it, maybe next time I will post a pic of it.

Here it is on his bed, with a matching pillow case!
It feels so good to get some of that fabric used up I'm way behind on project's.
I'm so happy to have a boy who appreciate the quilts I make for him!
I Love You Taylor!!!♥MOM

My Little Princess..cess....cess!!

This is sweet Princess Olivia!!! She makes the most beautiful Princess!!

Isabella Came to visit us this weekend and she brought with her dress ups, it was so cute, she let Olivia wear one of her dress's. Olivia LOVED IT!! I guess I know what my next purchase for Olivia is......

Here is the Princess Isabella!!! Her and Olivia were fighting over the one crown we had in the house. Now I know why her mother calls or a drama queen! Wow everything was a crisis and then some. I think she just is not use to sharing time with her Mema or toys or really anything else. She was constantly asking why does Olivia get this ?why does Olivia have that? I want one....

She is the most beautiful 5 yr old Princess EVER!!!!

Here is the Prince.....ss Taylor! He wanted to be in on this... he even tried the pink skirt on with his camo but i did not get a pic of that one. Dang it!! After all that princess Play Taylor and Isabella played army stuff. He was the Husband and she the wife and I think they had about or six baby's And they took them on to the battle field together as a family Isabella was even packing heat until she got shot and she dropped the gun on Taylor and actually hurt him LOL . It was the funniest thing to watch and listen to, Isabella kept telling Taylor... Honey..... can you get the baby's a blanket? Taylor... um I'm going to the army store. Isabella...... well Honey then Kiss me...lol They kissed just like a little couple. It was so cute! I can't believe Taylor played along with the whole thing.
My favorite part was his response to the Honey can you get the baby's blanket.... It was just like a man response I think I'm am going to have to teach my son some different way. I may have to limit time with his Grandpa and his Dad!!!jk
It was a great weekend and so glad that I got to see my sweet granddaughter!!!

Here the lighting was better on Taylor's pic. I'm still learning on the camera and some times I forget to adjust the light intake!!!
