Face Painting

A while ago we went to a little carnival thing at church.  They had face painting there and ever since Aleecia has been bugging us to do some face painting at home.  David painted Aleecia's face and Aleecia painted Davids face.  I painted Mia's face and Mia painted my face.

Eva's Head

 

One day after aerobics we were walking out to the car, when Mia decided to carry Eva.  Right as I told her to put her down Eva took a nose dive out of Mia's arms onto the gravel.  I picked her up and she had a bump and some road rash on her head.  Thanks to my anxiety I freaked out.  I washed the dirt off her head and the little stinker decided to act sleepy sending me into a panic.  Thankfully some good friends were still there and helped me calm down.  Eva has some nice road rash right in the middle of her forehead. When people see it the immediately ask what happened.       

 

 

Despite her bump and her road rash Eva is all smiles!

(this picture doesn't show how bad the road rash looked)

Aleecia's 9th Birthday

 

 

Aleecia turned 9 on the 26th of August.  We took her out to eat at her favorite place to eat, Red Robin.  For her birthday cake she wanted a strawberry cake with no frosting.  Am I really old enough to have a 9 year old?

 

 

Aleecia's First Day of 4th Grade

 

Aleecia started 4th Grade.  She has Mr. Zito and lots of friends in her class.  She had a great first day even though she had homework.  Fourth Grade?!  Where does the time go.

 

 

 

Stuffed Animals

 

This Summer Grandma bought the girls stuffed animals at the Zoo.  They take them everywhere and sleep with them every night.  Well, after a while they started looking a little dirty.  We decided to give them a "Bath".  The girls loved it and their stuffed animals look like new.

 

 

 

Our Hike

While camping this summer we went on a little hike.  We hiked up the hill behind our campground.  On our hike David pointed out some deer poop so the rest of the hike Aleecia and Mia would find deer poop and shout out "deer poop".  Even when there wasn't any Mia would yell it out.  Besides deer poop we found cactus and bones.



Fishing at Echo Island

This summer we have had the opportunity to go camping and fishing at our campground.  On our first trip we were just knocking them dead.  Eva warmed up to the fish and loves playing with them.  We don't like eating fish but we sure love catching them.
