State Fair

The girls and I met up with Aimee and Noble for a day of fun at the Alaska State Fair. This is the first time I have been to the fair without it raining. The weather was beautiful and we had fun seeing all the animals, exhibits, and booths.

The kids all had shirts saying "I am the future" I thought they looked pretty cute considering all three of them could have fit in a single shirt.

They had so many pretty flowers in bloom.

The noisy one

Everyone is always asking me which twin is the loudest and the answer is ...it depends. On this day it was definatly Elizabeth. She was sqwaking up a storm and flailing her arms so much that she kept smacking her face. Notice her sister bouncing on Jed's legs.

joyful sounds

The Noelle and Elizabeth can make the funniest faces and sounds sometimes.

hair today, gone tomorrow

Having very little hair does have its advantages. I do not need to worry about the girls pulling each others hair out.

Rabbit ear anyone???


Noelle Smiling

fairy nice

little polar bears

This is a really fun age. It is fascinating to watch the girls figure things out for the first time and play with each other. Although their idea of playing means grabbing each others faces and wrestling.

monkey business

Sorry it has been a while since I have posted. August has turned out to be a busy month for our family. Noelle and Elizabeth are now crawling and are learning how to zget into trouble. For example right now Noelle is trying to v C v c b fa a df help me type on the computer. They like to grab everything and put it in their mouths vg fthffbfyuyuy yghy77tgu (more help from Noelle). I found this monkey suit at a garage sale and it was too cute to pass up.
Noelle is the one in the suit.

cousins putting their heads together

The girls enjoyed having their cousin Liam to play with. It was nice to have Dani and Brady here for a while. Right now they are on their way to Michigan for grad school.

grandma Hazel

We were lucky to have grandma Hazel visit for a while. She watched the girls while I was at work and we all loved having her here.
