Cousin Time

Our cousin Elijah came over Thursday night and we had a slumber party. On Friday Mommy and Uncle Jeff took the three of us to the Children's Museum. Since we're members, we were able to catch a preview of the new exhibit, "Rock Stars, Cars and Guitars". Delanie and I practiced singing like Rock stars and took Elijah on a motorcycle ride. We rode on the carousel and also spent some time in one of our favorite exhibits, "Egypt". Elijah and Uncle Jeff hadn't seen the Sesame Street movie in the plantetarium, so we did that too. We always have fun with Elijah...he is our cousin, but also one of our bestest friends.

Swim, Swim, Swim.....

Just a few more pics from all the swimming we've done so far this summer....these are from today at Bella's neighborhood pool...

The Sisters eat Sushi!

Sushi has become my new obsession...I think I've eaten in 3 times in the last 10 days. Jason and I and our good friend Stephie took the girls to dinner on Tuesday and I requested that we eat at my favorite Sushi place. The girls did great...they loved the edemame, used the chopsticks the best they could and tried most of the sushi that we ordered. Delanie kept calling the fish in the middle, the "hot dog".....too funny. I don't think sushi will be a regular entree in their diet, but I love that they were willing to try it.

Summer Swim Lessons

The girls started swim lessons on Tuesday at the Y....we signed them up for 6 weeks worth. They both LOVE to swim, which totally makes me happy since I was a "swimmer". I would love for Emme to join a summer swim team next summer and I am hoping she will love it as much as I did. Delanie is so proud that she also has her own lessons this summer and mommy doesn't have to be in the pool with her. I see lots of pool time in my future....

Cheetahs at the Zoo

We took a trip to the zoo on Monday, the weather was beautiful and the girls were asking to see the new Cheetah exhibit. We caught a dolphin show, at our picnic lunch, Delanie "fed" the giraffes and we saw the Cheetahs. They weren't doing much, we must have caught them at nap time...maybe next time they'll be more active.

Visit to Cousin Ella Balvich's

Mommy and Auntie Jess took us to Rensselear over the weekend to visit our cousins: Josh, Parker, Graham, Ella and Uncle J/Auntie Beth. We had a great time swimming in their pool, playing in Ella's room, wrestling with the boys, seeing Shrek 3 and having cousin time. Mommy said it was our summer trip to "the country", Auntie Beth prefers we call it the "ranch". We came back exhausted and with lots of misquito bites...yuck:( and we can't wait to see them again!

Crabapple Creek Carnival 2010

Crabapple Creek had a Carnival to celebrate the end of the school year last Thursday night. There were games, pizza, cotton candy, popcorn and face painting. The weather was a little uncooperative and there were several downpours throughout the evening. It was still super fun and we can't wait to go back to Crabapple in the Fall. Notice we said "we", Delanie will also be attending Crabapple in the fall. It was a back and forth decision, but we decided to request that the girls are in the same class. We figured it was a one in a lifetime chance for them to be in the same class at school, so why not? We are also hoping they have Miss Kathy, Emme's teacher from this year and our current neighbor. Some of the pics from the night are of the girls with Miss Kathy's daughter, Kylie. Oh how we love Crabapple Creek!

Indians Games Summer 2010 #2

Mommy took us to our 2nd Indians game of the summer last week. It was beautiful Monday night and Monday nights are dollar nights at the ball park. Several things on the menu are $1 each. So we feasted on ball park hot dogs, cracker jacks and cotton candy....it was heaven. Mommy says we might go back tomorrow night....we might just be the Indians #1 fans...or is it the ball park snacks that we get excited about?
