Don't ask me why. . .

this is the face Jordyn likes to make every time I tell her to say "cheese".

Jordyn had her first pedicure, which she thought was just about the best ting ever. We did mine too - here we are modeling our gorgeous tootsies.

She has also gotten big enough to climb on top of the play structure. What happened to my little baby - how did she become a kid so fast. She seriously climbs like a monkey.

Both of the girls spent the morning opening all of the cabinets in the kitchen then closing them again. What fun - that's Jordyn peaking out from behind the cupboard just to the right of Avery. Thankfully no fingers were slammed in drawers.

Avery loves the new sandbox and she only really tried to eat the sand once.

Here are the 11 jars of green beans I pickled a few weeks ago - can't wait to eat them they are sooooo good.

Girls of summer - mid July

strawberry ice cream in a pink cone - doesn't get much better than that

Our friend Phoenix came to visit from Austin and we all had fun in the pool.
