A late picture from Father's Day showing the coffee mugs the girls made for Rusty!

 Play date at the splash pad with Sarah's close friends from school

 Lauren is too fascinated by the fountains to look anywhere but down.

 Sweetie!

 She's been doing a lot of this move lately; still trying to crawl, but can't figure out how to get that one leg around to get on both of her knees.

Sweet Emils!

Nine Months Old!

 Lauren is nine months old today!  She already had two teeth, but I noticed the third (top front) today!

 Also, she is trying hard to go somewhere.

 Almost every time you put her down on the floor, she's trying to move!

 Tongue out again

Sweet girl!

LEGO Americana Roadshow

 Stonebriar Mall hosted the LEGO Americana Roadshow over the past couple of weeks, and we went to see it the last day it was displayed.  It had ten large scale models of national landmarks put together by LEGO master builders; pretty impressive!

 The Capitol Building

 Statue of Liberty

 The Liberty Bell

 The White House

Rusty built the girls a play house made out of recycled signage from our church.  He had fun building it for them, and they have had a blast playing in it this week!  We are so thankful for Daddy's building/handy man skills!

First Time in the Pool

 Lauren enjoyed her first time in the swimming pool over the weekend!  

All of the girls had a great time!

TK Graduation

 Sarah graduated from Transitional Kindergarten last week!  She will start Kindergarten in the fall!!

 Receiving her diploma from Ms. Maureen (the preschool director)

 posing with her wonderful teachers,  Ms. Melissa and  Ms. Korren 

 Sarah's graduating class

 Her closest friends in the class (Emma, Holden and Kaylee)

 Emma and Sarah will be at the same elementary next year!  Very exciting!

 I can't compliment these teachers enough; they were absolutely wonderful, and this program is amazing!!

 We are so proud of our big girl!

Too cute! We will miss Holden!  

Eight Months Old!

 Sweet girl is eight months old?  I can't believe it has already been that long.  She also said her first word over the weekend:  DaDa.  Ever since, she's been quite the talker!

Sister Time Fun

 Rusty took Sarah and Emily to the creek by our house over the weekend.  They had a lot of fun exploring, and they even came home with a variety of things they found there.  

 Cuteness!

 Sarah found a hat that fit over the helmet!

 Sticking out that tongue again!

 Such a big girl!

Sarah in Daddy's boots again!
