Our Summer in Phone Pictures - Part 1

Life has been pretty busy this summer. I haven't gotten my Nikon out as much as I would like but I have been taking a lot of pictures with my phone. Makes me glad I have it for more than just talking on. Here's a recap of some of the things we've been up to lately.

She didn't get any, but she was totally fascinated with the can.
 
He was pretending to be a dog so naturally that means one has to go sit in the dog kennel.

Enjoying a nap out on the swing.

Early morning traveling, can you tell that Dayson wasn't thrilled?

Stopping at McDonald's for a break and some play time.

We've taken lots of walks.

When I took the picture of Dayson that's on the right, I totally saw BJ so I had to do a comparison picture.

He was supposed to help me put the groceries away, instead I found him playing and building towers.


Iyana and I had the opportunity to work with Mrs. LaMarque and make some pottery.

We've done lots of this so far. Getting a little tired of driving. Wish we could put wings on the car to get where we're going faster.

Iyana got to spend a couple of weeks with her Grandpa Lucky and work on the farm.

Of course all the toys have to come out to find the one he was looking for.

Hanging out.

Sad little girl needed some mommy time.

Wouldn't be summer if we didn't go to the park.

Bonding time.

More walking while the weather was cool.

The new bat boy.

Sprinkler time!

Dayson never really like this monkey but Samara sure does.

Precious!

He decided that she needed her diaper changed and so tried to take care of it himself. It ended up being more of a giggle session than a diaper changing one.

Playing together.

Tired but happy. She had a wonderful time with her Papa but was glad to be coming home.

Hanging out while watching the firefighters practice.

Samara and Zeke having fun in the nursery during VBS.

Dayson playing with Iris during VBS.

Sister time!

Indoor playtime when it was too hot to play outside.
 
 
I still have lots more pictures to share but that'll have to wait for part 2. Since summer is only half over, I'll probably even have a part 3 ☺.

5 Months

How time has flown! Little Miss is now 5 months old. Here's some of the latest of what she's up to.

 
Samara survived the icky stomach flu that was going around, and she did it with a smile. I don't know if she was more immune to it because I'm nursing her or what, but she only got sick once and for that, I'm thankful.


She can now sit in the tripod pose for a few seconds before toppling over. She's enjoying being able to sit up more to play with toys. She doesn't enjoy falling forward onto her nose. We're still working on that.

She had her first taste of banana's. At first she wasn't too sure what we had given her. Eventually she really started liking it. Now, she can't wait for us to bring them out and always finishes her bowl.

Chomping on the spoon for a bit after eating, feels good on the gums.

So cute!

 
Decided to do another comparison picture of my three. For the longest time I was thinking that Samara looked more like Iyana but now I'm thinking she has more similarities to Dayson. Of course, they all have their own unique look, it's just fun to see similarities.

Shortly after this pic, she push herself up and over the Boppy. She's trying to crawl, just can't figure out how to get her arms to move.

Brother love. They have really started to bond lately.
