Haylee and Megan

Haylee and Megan came to help me the week before the reunion and then they flew with the kids and me. They were such a big help!

We went to the zoo when it was 100 degrees, we were so hot.

Megan liked to take care of that baby.

I was surprised Amelia actually let Haylee do her hair.

Story time before bed.

Mt. Lemmon

At the beginning of August, we drove up to Mt. Lemmon to enjoy nature and the cooler temperatures.

Beginning of August

Here's a few pictures of us hanging out at the beginning of August!

Amelia at scouts, I was taking pictures of each of the boys and she had to have one too. She loves to go to scouts.

Playing in the crib together, you'll notice Arie likes to put things in his mouth.

Sitting together.

Amelia is very flexible and loves to do the splits.

My boy and me, check out those rolls!

6 months

Arie had his 6 month checkup yesterday. He is 15 pounds 6 ounces and 25 inches long. He's in the lower percentile for size, but the doctor said he's healthy and his thighs are in the 100th percentile. He's almost sitting up by himself and he's army crawling everywhere. He's saying b's and p's and we're starting in on the vegetables, squash and carrots are a hit so far. We love him so much, he is such a good baby compared to some others, but I won't mention any names. He loves his big sister and it is so funny when she gets him laughing. He can't wait to get hugs from his family in a few weeks!

Swimming

We had the twins over for a little pool time last week and Amelia had a great time splashing with them.
Arie is starting to like the water more and Amelia won't even let us touch her with her new floatie.

We've actually had some clouds and rain this week which has really cut into our pool time, but I'm not complaining. 99 degrees is better than 107.

Happy Anniversary

We celebrated our 4th anniversay on July 15th. I got flowers and Ricky got socks. I'm a little more practical than he is. For those of you who know our story, it's quite a miracle that we met and got married. I won't get mushy here more than saying I feel like the luckiest girl in the world to have found such a wonderful guy!

Staying Cool

We stay inside as much as we can these days because of the hot weather, so here's a few pics of us around the house. Amelia's hair is really pretty when I actually do it, but this is a morning hair shot.
Walking in papi's dirty boots. Don't ask me why she has a coat on.

Arie likes to open his mouth very wide, it's not exactly a smile, but it's how he shows he can't contain his excitement.

Amelia got a new bed a few weeks ago. The first few nights she did really well, but I think the newness is wearing off. She usually comes looking for me at about 2 am.

She loves to run around in the apron nana made her and stuff her backpack full of stuff. She walks around telling me "bye" while she pushes the stroller.

She fell and scraped her nose on the sidewalk last week. She was pretty traumatized, but I think we're going to make it through.

Arie has masterd the army crawl and can get where ever he wants and what ever he wants.
