We love our dentist!

I love it how kids just surprise you sometimes! Today, Annalee had her second dentist visit. This time we were there for x-rays and a real cleaning...I know, big girl stuff, right? :) I have never seen a child so giddy and excited about going to the dentist, even after they started working on her. If you live in my part of town and need a dentist, I would highly reccomend ours. Their entire staff is adorable and so nice and kid friendly. Her dental assistant took lots of time to get to know Annalee and show her all the tools (with super cute and funny names like Mr. Thirsty for the spit sucker thing). Annalee was eating it all up. She would scrunch her nose and giggle at everything this lady said. She gladly put on her zebra print sunglasses and bib with her name written on it and just laid back and let them clean away at her teeth. I am so proud of you Annalee! What a big girl you are!

Mini (long overdue) Vacation

Micah and I were so fortunate to get a few days to escape the heat and celebrate our 8th wedding anniversary. One of our favorite places to visit is Colorado and this trip didn't disappoint. We stayed at our little creekside bed-and-breakfast that we love, went to a fabulous Nora Jones concert at Red Rocks Ampitheater, and spent the rest of the time relaxing, reading, and eating yummy food.

That's Micah in the background reading one morning...we loved the fact that we had to wear fleeces at night and in the morning.



Our romantic paddle boat! Kinda funny, but we had a good time.



This was the view from the boat.



We had a great dinner at a steakhouse in downtown Denver one night.



Micah loved having his picture taken by this pig...ha. I had to get it though, because I have the same one of Annalee from 2 years ago.



Thanks Grammy and JoJo for taking such good care of the girls while we were gone!

Lazy Saturday

We had a lazy Saturday this weekend. The girls swam in our awesome and classy plastic pool for over an hour and then we all napped, woke up and watched a movie and ate pizza. Good times.










Micah's sister and her husband were in town, so they joined us (along with JoJo and Papa!)




Uncle Blaine was a good sport and let Annalee dump water on his head....she was loving it!
Then, the other day, Grace was confused and thought she was Bitty Baby Doll.

More Steps

Grace is taking more and more steps everyday, but still prefers to crawl to most destinations.
