Special Time

I try every day when Javed and Charley have quiet time/nap time to stop and take time to cuddle with my baby girl.  I absolutely LOVE this time, and I know it won't last forever, so I'm gonna soak up every minute I can… :)

Summer Fun

We have had a pretty relaxing summer so far, which has been really nice.  Today, Mommy got out some colored rice, and we had so much fun sorting, pouring, and mixing!  The simple things :)

Silliness

Another fun thing we have done is swim in our super cool inflatable pool. :)  Again--the simple things :)

Mind of My Own

Mommy has been trying to teach us all to keep our rooms cleaned and our things organized.  Over the past few days, I have been having a blast playing and so I had a lot to clean up. While Mommy was nursing Riley, she was trying to motivate me to clean my room, and when she looked, this is what she saw….

Please feel free to say a prayer for Mommy and Daddy for when I'm a teenager. :)

Making Beds

Lately, I have been finding all my blankets and pillows and making beds on the floor for my babies.  Tonight, I set it up again, and I told Mommy that I had a place for Nana and Grandpa (when they came back in town), and one for Javed, Mommy, and Daddy.  :)

VBS

This week, I have had the opportunity to attend VBS at the church where Mommy does MIA. We had a fantastic week, and I learned all about God creating the world, Jesus dying on the cross, and Him raising from the dead.  We also learned more about the story of Daniel and the Lions.  We made crafts, listened to stories, sang fun songs, and ate yummy snacks. :)    We ended the week with a  performance of our songs and then a fun carnival.  It was a great time and so fun to see everyone "on fire" for Christ.  What a great week!

First Fireworks

Every Friday during the summer, they have a fireworks show at the lake.  We have been wanting to go, but since nowadays we aren't planning or doing too much, we weren't sure when we would get a chance to go.  Since we were already out at the VBS carnival, and everyone seemed up to it, we decided that tonight would be the perfect night!  This was Riley's first time to see fireworks, and she did seem to look at them a little, but really didn't notice them too much. :)  Javed and Charley LOVED them, and we are ready to go see them again.
