Bike riding!

Dave bought the girls each a "run" bike this spring. It is a bike without pedals that is supposed to help them learn how to balance quicker. After months of indoor riding and then a month of riding on the grass in the backyard, Dave decided it was time to hit the road (good thing Mom was going out that night!) They are loving it so much and Sydney especially is really getting the hang of it. She does laps around Kiley and hates coming inside! Kiley takes it slow and steady which surprised us but she is catching on quickly as well.

Who cares about a little rain hey!?

Cabin in August

We had a great weekend up at the cabin with the Hildee-Camps (my sis and family) in August. The kids had a blast and played great together. The weather wasn't perfect but we got in some quadding, boating and relaxing (sorta) so all is good and can't wait to do it again!

I love this picture of the Queen Bee (of the moment since it changed often). I think it looks like Kiley is yelling at Devyn and Sydney to get a move on it!

Just hanging around.

Kiley not happy with just sitting on the quad much to Mom's dismay!

So Daddy took her for a ride. She absolutely LOVED every minute of it and wasn't too happy to have to get off and give her sister a turn.

.

Sydney wasn't quite as excited about it but I think she liked it too.

Kiley waiting with Auntie for her turn again.

Having a blast.

Enjoying our new backyard this summer

My Bathing Beauties!

.
It was so hot out this year that Dave bought the girls a soaker hose to keep us cool outside....

...the only problem was they thought sucking on it was the best way to cool down!
.

Feels sooo good
.

but tastes even better :)
.

We hooked up the bike trailer again and found a perfect trail by the river here for a family ride. The girls love it and we make sure to stop and play at the park too!

Kiley is so strong, she can pull herself up and hold on for a long time.

Bubble mania- the girls are obsessed with bubbles this year.
.

We are thoroughly enjoying having a big backyard for the girls to play in! The girls love to play with the hose and water all the plants, but mostly themselves. We were going through many outfits a day since when they get a drop on them they want to get changed. Eventually that evolved into just wearing no clothes at all....
