Growing girls!

It is time for the July side by side pictures again!  Already?!? Wow time flies by.  I feel like the past year really went by quickly.  I am wanting time to slow down a little.  I can't believe our girls are about to go to pre-k in a few weeks!  They are all signed up and getting their shots and physicals soon.  They are so excited and ready.  I know they will do great in school.  Just look how much they have grown in a year. (Their hair has grown a lot too.)

Together in summer 2011

My poor neglected blog...

I feel so bad that I got away from blogging for so long. I look to this as a form of journal-ing my families history.  I hope to be able to look back on each year and remember the year in pictures.  I want to put down funny things the girls say and do so we can all remember what they did as they grew up.  I have a terrible memory and I hope this will help keep out memories of these precious years of raising children in the forefront of our minds.  I am getting my inspiration back and I hope to be a better blogger.  I hope that my family and friends will continue to keep in touch and follow us along this journey.

Soooo...here are some pics to catch you up since Nov. of last year.  They girls are growing everyday now it seems and they are learning so much and getting so excited about going to pre-k in the Fall.

We had a great Christmas!

We got new big girl bikes!

And a bigger drum set!

We took some lovely pictures on a sunny afternoon. 

We painted!

We had our 4th birthday with a special castle cake made by mommy.

We got new loft beds from IKEA! We love them! Keeping the floor underneath clean for our play area is not always easy.  :)

We went to a wedding (Brandi and Richie).  We matched the wedding colors perfectly.
The girls' dresses were sparkly and twirly.

Momma made the wedding cake.  :)  It turned out great!

We had a lot of fun playing everyday with daddy .   Dress up, princesses, Hollywood, talent shows, fashion shows, animals, the fun is endless!

We got new Easter dresses.  Don't we look beautiful!

We played with our Easter candy.  Not so cute, but funny!  They always keep us laughing!

We hunted for Easter Eggs

We went to the splash park at the zoo during momma's Spring Break

We went camping too!  Super fun!  This is at Fort Clinch campground which we loved.

We explored the fort with daddy.  Daddy got us in free because he is a veteran.  

We had fun at the beach a couple days too.

So that brings you up to the beginning of April.  What a full few months.  We are busy making memories together.  They are growing so quickly and learning so much.  They continue to amaze us day after day with their talents, vocabulary, imagination and creativity.

I love my family and am so looking forward to spending a great summer together making more memories.
