Riding bikes

Makenzie has gotten pretty good at riding some of the toys without pedaling. Here are a couple of videos of her riding some toys.

Michigan part 2

We got to do some pretty fun things with the girls. The first thing was a dune ride. Rylee didn't like it at first so Makenzie rubbed her face telling her "shhhhh" trying to comfort her. It was so cute. Here are some pictures from that.









Then we took the girls to a cute pottery place to attempt to paint. Makenzie did really good for about the first 5 minutes and then wanted to go play in the play area. Rylee who wanted to paint a snowman lasted a little bit longer. I'd say they both had a lot of fun!





Grandma and Grandpa let Mommy and Daddy have a night out for dinner. They took the girls out for ice cream after dinner.







There was also a nearby playground that we tried out..











and the beach where we went to play in the sand







Thanks Grandma and Grandpa for a fun visit!

Michigan visit Part 1

Last week we got to spend the whole week visiting Dave's parents in Michigan. The bad part was we caught a stomach bug the day we fly there and took it with us to share. But after a few days of everyone hanging over the commode we all got back to our normal selves and had alot of fun! Adam and Jessica, Dave's brother and sister in law actually got to visit from Ohio too so the girls had alot of fun playing with them too. Here are some pictures...































more photos to come soon...

Puppies

My best friend Brooke's dog had a litter of puppies a couple of weeks ago. We have been meaning to go see her and her husband so what better time then when they have puppies! The girls loved the dogs! Rylee wanted to hold all of them and when Brooke showed her how to pick them up, she constantly picked each one up. There were 5 very cute little puppies. Makenzie wanted to be just like her big sister but wasn't quite big enough to hold them so she pretty much just screamed at all the puppies until we would pick them up for her. Then she wanted to hug and love all over them. Maybe one day when they're a little older and can truly help out we'll get a dog since they seem to love them so much.

Bowling

Saturday for Dave's birthday, he wanted to take the girls bowling. They actually had a really fun time! After Rylee got the hang of it, she wanted to do everything all by herself and wouldn't even let us come near her. She's getting so big! Makenzie liked pushing the ball down the ramp but could take it for leave it at times. Here are some pictures from the day....









Don't ask Dave who won! It's a little bit of a sore spot for him! But as a plus for me I've never bowled 4 strikes before!

Then my sister asked the girls and I to come and spend the night on Saturday night so we decided Dave could have the house to himself as a birthday treat. We took the girls to the park near her house. Here are some pictures of us around the pond there...

A Shoe Obsession

Makenzie is going through a phase where she wants to wear everyone else's shoes! She will try on anyone and everyone's shoes! Here are a few cute pictures of her trying on shoes...













Then here's cute picture of Rylee trying on a hat from Ashley Glen. I think she looks super cute in it! I'm going to have to get her to wear more hats!


Then Makenzie then wanted to try some on too...



And one last cute one of Rylee playing one day at my mom's...she has on her dress up shoes and her gloves like a princess. Too bad they are her winter gloves!
