This doesn't cover even half of this past week but it's all I've got!

Pool- during Jack's last swim lesson. 

Bonding at Trader Joe's- I had to buy her love via ice cream sandwiches.

Gma's 60th birthday:

Awesome Disney tats!

Linvilla Farm- after we dropped our water bottle into the duck pond which was more dramatic than you can imagine. 

Gym

Before the Herr's Snack Tour that we are on right now (the girls are watching the intro movie in the theater here right now). When the film started Hilly yelled "This is pretty cool!!!!"

Here we are eating at a marketplace (?). Whatever. You get the point. 

Nastics

Below was Hilly at Jackie's very first gym class. She ran like an insane person the entire 50 minutes and I chased her the entire time. It was rough. 

And below is my boo this evening. She is officially in all the same classes that Jackie is in. And she effing LOVES it. For some reason, though, it made me super emotional for her to line up w the big kids. She is still my insane Hilly. She got in line and yelled to the teacher "I'm wearing shorts!" And then during class Jack told me that Hilly told the teacher there was a monster in the foam pit and then was told to please get in back to her station.  Sounds like my Hill! 

Tonight as punishment for waking Ben and Hill during nap I told Jack she wasn't allowed to share a bedroom w Hill tonight. Her pleas of loving Hilly melted Jim's heart and he relented (I would like to add that this morning the girls fought like crazy).  She is lucky he is a softy. 

Fishing, Bikes

Hilly said "take our picture!"

At night the girls play "present" and wrap up a random toy or book from their bed/crib and give it to each other as a gift. The opener says "A ______! I love it!!!!! Thank you!!!" Even when Jim and I want them to be quiet, we can't get too mad over this game. 

Getting our $8 worth out of our fishing license. 

Jack and her buddy Kyle playing soccer. 

Jax took this pic of BBB.

Jack is borrowing Kyle's balance bike. 

She is a cautious kid so this might take awhile but she likes it. 

Birthday Party and Fishing

Yesterday we hit up the library. After an absolutely epic tantrum about leaving by the chick below, we went home to naps. Then had friends over. One little girl mentioned she had gone fishing w her grandpa. Hill starting begging the little girl's mom to take her fishing. 

So it was dada to the rescue. 

While Ben and Jackie and I hit up a birthday party. Without Hill there Jack was totally lost. She missed her sooooooo much. 

Meanwhile...

At least everyone ate junk food though. 

Happy to be reunited again when Hill woke up from naps. Jack was soooooo nice to her and begging to play. 

Adventures

While Jack was waiting for her gym class to start and her BFF, P, to arrive, I was struck by her unique look. 

Maybe my fave pic of Jax ever. 

Then at pool yesterday for Jack's lessons. 

Post-lessons: 

Kyle and Em joined us for swimming and ice cream afterwards. Here are the 2 little sisters:

2 pics during lessons. She loves loves lessons. 

Here are some pics we did NOT order from last weekend. I think it's obvious why. 

Gabe looks bored to death here!

Look at Hilly's face in this one! Haha
