Pinchers with PopPop

The girls had a date with Pop Pop at a local Seafood restaurant called Pinchers.
Abigail is the first to capture Poppops attention
Zoey carries on with Aunt Nancy

Katrina does a jig for Aunt Vicky

Zoey often looks down the end of her nose. Everyone always chuckles - hopefully it's just a phase!

As if there isn't enough *&%$ on the ceiling to keep their attention... we bring out the toys to keep them entertained while waiting for dinner.

Babies continue to get passed around the table - Ryan has a little chat with Kit Kat about proper behavior at the table
Seems she wanted to stand and clogg.

When that didn't fly we tried pole dancing...Chew on Aunt Nancys fingers...
Pull Zoeys hair
Go for the bling (they all do that!)

Look absolutely adorable and innocent!

Pass out exhausted!

Meanwhile, Abigail chatters on with Aunt Cindy

Zoey passes out in Vicky's arms

Abigail decides to join Zoey for some ZZZZZ's

Zoey is sooo precious in Vicky's armsAfter her 'z' nap, she has a chat with Poppop.

Everyone passing by can't help but notice three little angels

In case you're wondering - they really are little angels and well behaved in the restaurants. (we can only pray this continues!)

Adopting Cousins-The Reugers

The Reugers stopped in for a visit to drop off a really cute "3 peas in a pod" musical toy for the girls. It plays "You Are My Sunshine"
One can never have enough family.
Christine, the beautiful young lady to the left holding Zoey was once in a sign language class I facilitated. Her mom Beth (in the middle holding Abigail) brought her for their weekly girls night out. We bonded over the months we practiced ASL. Her younger sister Lisa(to the right holding Katrina) even came to class once.

They also have an older sister Sara who wasn't able to come visit...

Christine is holding Katrina - who adorns the green bow that was on their package.

Turns out Beth is the only one on her side of the family that had children, and their dad is an only child... so these beautiful young teenagers are left 1st cousinless!!

Ryan talked it over with Zoey - how would you like 3 more cousins? One is even a red head - they'll fit right in!
Zoey gave the good news to Beth, we'd love to have 3 more beautiful teenage girl cousins!
And so... our family is growing...

Aren't we just the luckiest people alive!

I think everyone likes this idea!

We look forward to visiting with our new cousins in Georgia when we travel through later this summer! Love you guys! Pssst.... don't forget to tell your sister!

Chillin' with Cousins

Cousins Avery and Wyatt came over on June 10 to hang out and swim.
Kit Kat wanted in on the action -Abigail just wanted to chill by the spa - Ever since she started on baby food, her tongue is always out.

Avery wanted to show she can do it too!

Zoey was exhausted and took a "z" nap in her bumbo while Nana spoiled Abigail. Brad and Kim sit back and relax - as you can see, the sign behind them says "No WAKE Zone"

We were hoping to have some horses meet us at the back fence.

Wyatt and mommy call - but they are too interested in the hay in the back pasture.

Back at the lanai, Ryan and Nana entertain Abby and Kat. What a fun day!

Where Binkies Go...

Binkies or bottles... binkies or bottles... binkies or bottles...
It's become a common mantra around here -
Take the thumb out - put the binky back in and so our day and night goes...
We've tried the "on top of your head trick"... that works for awhile...

They are so stinking smart - they know they get a free pass if the binky is no where to be found! Look closely on the floor beside the crib. Somehow the frog binky hopped out of Katrina's bed... so she had no choice but to suck her thumb! Those little stinkers!

What's next?

Katrina's Breakfast Video

Katrina loves to take a bunch of food in....
then when we turn to feed another - she lets most of it run down her chin!

Abigails Breakfast Video

Abigail is still getting the hang of the spoon.
She's killer with a bottle!

Zoeys Breakfast continues!

Zoey just cracks us up everyday.
They are all such joyful children...
Zoey expresses it the loudest.
