Wrapping up June.

June 21, 2016 - Passenger Trike Rides

If you remember from Savannah's birthday post, she got this awesome pink tricycle from Grandma and Grandpa for her birthday.  The girls recently figured out they can give each other rides on it and they think it's the coolest thing ever!  It really is pretty funny to watch them give each other rides on the trike. :)

June 23, 2016 - Family Time on the Porch Swing
We spend a lot of time out on the porch swing.  It's relaxing and a nice place to unwind and visit with each other.  This wasn't the first time one of the kids fell asleep while swinging :)


Sleepy Talmage too!

He was cooing at me in this picture. He has the sweetest little baby voice.  Love it! And Savy has such a sweet smile.  Love it too!

Silly faces :)

My loves.


June 25, 2016 - Painting Bee Boxes
Usually when Darwin gets more boxes he paints them white.  This time after he painted them, he let the girls paint a box too.  Such a cute idea, and the girls did great!  I love their special bee boxes!


Aurora's box


Savannah's box

And Daddy grilled us some chicken for dinner.  He's so good to us.  And it was delicious!


June 30, 2016 - Vivint Party at Seven Peaks
My work had a party at the end of June for employees and our families.  Because Talmage is still so small and I can't put sunscreen on him yet, I was a bit of a party pooper and stayed in the shade with Talmage the whole time (but I got to visit a whole lot with my friend, April, so it was a good deal for me to be in the shade with Talmage).  Darwin took the girls around to the slides and the three of them had a great time!  Darwin used the GoPro camera to take some pictures for me :)


Happy girl!
(She was a happy girl until she and Daddy went on a tube slide together and flipped off their tube.  When they got down to the pool at the end of the slide, Savy went under the water and was not a fan of that slide.  She was mad at Daddy for a little bit after that and it took her a while to get back in the water.  Silly kid.)

Savy hitched a ride on Daddy's back :)


Our cute kiddos in June.

Cutie pants Aurora.


She got gum stuck in her hair.  It was so stuck I just had to cut that part of her hair off.  She wasn't a happy camper, and I wasn't very happy about it either :(
(I caught her in the living room chewing on her hair.  I told her not to do that and she pulled her hair out of her mouth, with her gum stuck in it, and told me, "I didn't do it, Mom." Uh-huh. I didn't do it either, Sweetie.  Silly kid.)

If you know Savannah, you know her favorite color is purple.  She was pretty proud of her pretty purple lipstick.  Awesome, babe.  It's totally stylish! ;)

And that wraps up June!

T-Ball

May 7, 2016
Opening Day Parade and 1st T-ball Game

I think I mentioned before that Aurora played t-ball this year.  It was a fun new experience for her and she really liked it!  It was fun for us to watch her play and learn some new sports skills.  She got to play for the Red Sox :)  She was 1 of 2 girls on her team.  No biggie.  She loved it and she was awesome.

Team huddle!

In the outfield.

Swing, batter, batter!

Made it to 1st base!

Cutie!

 So happy and excited to be playing t-ball!

Run home, Rori!

After her first game there was a kick-off parade for all the t-ball and softball teams in the city.  Aurora loved being in the parade and Savannah had fun watching for Aurora and cheering her on as her float/truck passed by us!

There's her team!

There she is!


June 6, 2016 - T-ball Game and Team Pictures
Aurora's games were once a week through the months of May and June, only missing a couple of weeks due to rain and the high school graduation.  We were the first ones there the day of team pictures so the kids found ways to entertain themselves while we waited for the rest of the team to show up.

Silly Rori


Our handsome little Talmage!

Ready to play!

Her favorite position to play was 1st base.  Whenever it was her team's turn to play in the outfield she always rushed to play 1st base.  She was good at it!  We had just gotten our new camera so Darwin was playing with the settings so some of the shots are in black and white.  I think this is my most favorite shot of the season!

This is a good one too :)

Waiting for her turn to bat wasn't always easy, but she kept herself occupied in the meantime.

Up to bat!

Running home!

Savannah usually wasn't super interested in watching Aurora play, but she loved running around and playing on the playground while the game was going on.



On the swing bench with some new friends :)

I tried my best to keep Talmage covered and out of the sun during her games because we can't use sunscreen on him until he's 6 months old.  I just about died laughing when I looked down to see if he had fallen asleep yet and saw that the tags of his blanket were down over his eyes.  I promise it wasn't staged :)

Daddy got a shot of Talmage and I watching Rori's game.

Back to watching Rori run

Talking to her new friend, Severyn.


June 13, 2016 - Another Game
Aurora always had a handful of cheerleaders consisting of her biggest fans :)

Go, Rori, go!

She sometimes got bored in the outfield waiting for the ball to be hit her direction.

Sister snuggles after the game.  Love it!

 Her last game was on June 28th.  It was really windy and a bit rainy so we didn't get any pictures of the game.  She was so excited about her awesome trophy!  She's been sleeping with it on her bedpost since she brought it home.

Congrats on a fun t-ball season, Aurora!
We're so proud of you for always being so willing to try new things!
