Lap Sit Story Time

Good Morning!! On Wednesday Mornings our local library has what they call "Lap Sit Story Time" which is designed for children under the age of one. This week was the 2nd week that we were able to go and the girls have a blast. We sing songs together and then the leader will read some books and then she gives the babies a chance to roam around and play with some books on their own. Yesterday she brought out the "bubble gun" and they all LOVED it!! I happened to have the camera in my purse yesterday, so I was able to get some pictures for you. I hope you enjoy!!

Listening intently to the leader. Kathryn was trying to escape but still hasn't mastered the skill of going forward.

Ohhhh bubbles bubbles everywhere...falling from the sky and laying in front of me!! :)
(Someone's big sister was going around stopping the bubbles out, Mommy was not happy with that, but nonethelesss the girls had a great time!)

If only I could stretch just a LITTLE more I could reach those bubbles!!

Mmmm books are fun to eat, I mean read!

Ok this book looks interesting enough to look at WHILE eating it!

Lots of Pictures!

Hey everyone!! We don't have a whole lot to say today, but we have TONS of pictures. So, sit back and enjoy! :)

Here is his Daddy with his medal. We went to a Baby Info Fair at the mall and there was a Daddy Diapering Contest so Daddy entered. He had to go on stage and diaper a fake baby blindfolded with one arm behind his back. We think he got cheated out of winning (the judge was on the other side of the table, so he didn't see Daddy get done first) BUT they did a name drawing for the last prize and Daddy won that. So here he is holding his prize and wearing his medal.

POOL TIME
We got to go swimming in a big pool for the first time last week! We had a blast!

The whole family swimming

Kimberly is in the turtle, Kathryn is in the crab. They're still getting used to the water.

Kimberly says "Daddy I'm not so sure about this, maybe you should come get me."

Kathryn is not sure what to think...

CAROWINDS
Here are a few more pictures from Carowinds, including some from the water park.

If you look real close you can see Kimberly peeking through the bars (don't worry Mommy is holding her)

Daddy, Kathryn and Uncle Ralph are in the green helicopter.

Daddy and his girls in the water park!

AT USC
On Saturday we went to the University of South Carolina in downtown Columbia and took some pictures at the "Horseshoe" (just a grassy area with lots of trees with buildings on 3 sides, so its open on one end like a horseshoe).

"Ohh, we like the way this grass feels"

"Hmmm, whats this Mommy? It looks interesting."

And of course Kathryn has to taste it...

"Daddy WHAT are you doing?"

Workin our arm muscles doing some push ups

"Ohh, look....Mommy is laying in the grass!"

"OH NO we're in Jail!!"

And now Kimberly decides to taste the bars.

"Well the bar didn't taste so good, so I'll eat Kathryn!"

Daddy and his girls

Kathryn smiling in the flowers.

Kimbrely enjoying the flowers.

Mommy and her girls.

Now the question here is...Did Kimberly just push Kathyrn over or is she trying to help her back up?

Playin Footsies

Playin with Daddy

Aren't we cute?!

We loves the soft grass

Loungin on a Bench

Watchin the People go by...there was a couple that had just gotten married in one of the buildings, the girls liked watching the bride and groom.

Climbing a tree with Daddy's help!

Long time no see...

Hey everyone! Sorry it has been so long since we talked. Its been a busy few weeks. Last weekend we went to Carowinds with Grandpa and family. We had a fantastic time. We got to ride a carousel for the first time and we loved it. Kathryn just laughed and laughed. Kimberly was in a daze staring at the horse beside her. We also rode a train through Dora Land. They enjoyed seeing things go by. We also played in the water park some. We don't have any pictures from the water park yet, they are on a disposable camera that we haven't gotten developed yet. So, stay tuned for those and some pictures of the girls in a BIG pool for their first time.

Please be praying for Mommy. She has been having a lot of headaches and problems with her sinuses lately. After several doctor trips they have decided to do sinus surgery on July 20. Please pray for her surgery and a quick speedy recovery.

Not much more going on around here. Its been HOT HOT HOT so we've been spending a lot of time inside. We are going to be in Raleigh in early July...we hope to see you while we're there.

Take care and enjoy the pictures!

We love to wrestle on the floor with Daddy.

Daddy and Grandpa were carrying us around Carowinds.
We sure could see a lot more from way up here!

After wrestling with Daddy...now we can wrestle with each other.
Kathryn says HA! I got you!

And again...5 minutes later, Kathryn has Kimberly pinned again!

Kathryn is about ready to take off....it won't be long!

Kathryn is holding on to the pole like she knew what she was doing!
She's ready to RIDE!

Kimberly wasn't as sure about the horse, but she sure was glad to have Grandpa there.

Our Family on the Dora Train!

The Botanical Gardens

Hey!! This morning I took the girls on a trip to the Botanical Gardens at Riverbanks Zoo. I really wanted to get some good pictures of them with the flowers...but apparently my girls take after me WAYYY too much and enjoy PEOPLE WATCHING!!! So...(Julie this is just for you) here are some of their pictures and what I would guess they're thinking by the looks on their faces! I hope you enjoy!!

"OH MY GOSH! Did you see what that girl was wearing?!"

"OHHHH....Kimberly quick...look over here! That boy is CUTE!"

"ACK! He's a little scary looking, please hold my hand!"

"Well Mommy didn't bring popcorn to eat during the show, so I'll just munch on this stick."

"What in the world are they doing? I'm not so sure about that."

"Ok I think I'm going to go for it...I'm going to wave at him, maybe he'll come over and talk to me."

"HEY!!! Hey you...LOOK AT ME!!" "Please come and talk to my sister so she'll stop!"

"Ok Kimberly...thats enough! You're making a fool of yourself!"

"I don't know what you're thinking! I am NOT going to do that!"

"HEY!! Look at me!! Aren't I a CUTIE?!"

"Mommy HELP US! The plants are going to eat us!"

"Mommy I have a question....Can we please go, I'm getting HOT!"

We had a great time at the gardens....but I think we'll have to go back when Daddy is with us to help get some more pictures. It was a lot of work trying to get both girls to look at me, keep them from eating dirt AND snap a picture. Hopefully we'll have some more for you soon!!

Have a great day!
