Summer time fun!

So you think you have bad hair days???

• Miss Annaka has some pretty funky hair these days. She has had 2 haircuts (only to her bangs). This is what a typical morning looks like. I take her ponytail holders out at night time, but when I get her out of her crib they are usually standing straight up . Scott and I decided this morning definetly needed a picture!

Here we go agian....

Raina and I tried so hard to get the girls together for a snap shot again. No matter how hard we tried we did not get one good picture of just the two of them. I think we scared Andrew's friend he had over because we were making

such loud noises to get the girls to look at us to take the picture. The girls are getting so big. They both have such different personalities. Laney is a very good dancer, if I ever get a video on my blog I will have to download it. Annaka was very busy making sure Laney didn't take anything that was hers. I think with a brother and sister she has learned to keep her things to herself. Either way we love them both. They are so fun to watch together. So, once again this is what we got. The best picture is the one with Michon by far!!

Our first trip to the Kasson Pool

We decided on such a hot day we should go for a swim. It was our first trip with Annaka to the Kasson pool. Her and I stayed in the baby pool. I didn't wear my swim suit (big mistake). At first Annaka didn't really care if she was in the water, but after mommy finally realized there was a shallow end in the baby pool she did really good. She loved to play with all the toys that floated by. Of course they all belonged to someone else, but they were fun. Ally and Andrew and Ally's friend Kylie all came over from the "big kids pool" to play with her. The kids friends love to play with Annaka. I think a lot of the kids have older siblings so to play with a baby is really fun. Annaka loves it! She gets all the attention and shows off for everyone! So, our trip was a success!! We will definitely be going a lot more this summer. BUT, we want our BFF Laney to come too!!!!!

First Swims in the pool

Okay, she didn't really swim, but she played really good. She didn't like the water and wouldn't sit in it. We have had some problems with her liking water ever since her daddy washed her hair and got her head all wet. We are working with her to like her baths again.
What a weekend! Yesterday I accidentally tripped going down my neighbors front step and twisted my foot. OUCH, the pain was unreal! I cried it hurt so bad. I went to the ER and thank heaven I didn't break it, only a sprain. I can not imagine life with a broken foot this summer. Crutches are not fun and not being able to do anything is even harder. BUT, I keep reminding myself that at least its not a break... I took some snap sots of Annaka with Ally playing. Andrew was just to busy playing his game boy to come out and enjoy the big pool with them.

soccer, clothes and smiles

The pics above are Ally and Andrew in soccer this year. The kids were really lucky and had great weather for the season. It was only cancelled one day.

Annaka continues to get gifts from family and friends. Today she got a really cute dress from one of my aunt and uncles. Thanks!

The bear she is playing with is the bear the kids made for her at Build a Bear Workshop. Its fun to see her play with it when it sat in her room for over a year waiting for her. She loves stuffed animals just like Ally.
