A surprisingly quiet 4th of July....

4th of July for the Moore clan was quiet.  The girls got to bed at 730-8...so they weren't going to make any fireworks this year...heck..Shane and I barely can stay up til' dark!  We did not see one firework..which was kind of a strange feeling...but we heard a lot of them.  We prayed for no fires...since it's dry and crispy all around.  We did enjoy some time with family.  Went to Nana and Poppy's one afternoon to play and then Auntie Ginger's and Uncle Bill's to swim.  It's so hot..there really isn't much more to do!

Solo Spoon Debut...

Mommy gave us spoons and yogurt for the first time..solo....oh it was FUN!

Making Father's Day Cards....

Making Father's Day cards is hard work......

Requires proper hydration...

Ashlee "self-sharpened" her crayons....

One of Ashlee's.....she would work long and hard at it...

I was lucky if Brooke sat down long enough to get a few scribbles in..... 

 

Ashlee...the happiest sick kid ever!

Ashlee started wheezing so we had to go to urgent care. She had bronchitis and a bad ear infection (which I never would have known about the ear infection b/c she has high-tolerance for pain and is happy go lucky most of the time!) 

She wasn't too fond of the breathing machine when it was on...but when it was off she would sing loudly in it!

Mommy bough her 2 puppies at Walgreens as we waited for prescriptions...patiently....of course one was for Brooke...but Ashlee loved them both on the way back to home!

Gus...he is a GREAT dog!

The other day it was HOT.  Girls went swimming and of course the dogs wanted to be outside to help.  Gus got really hot and his tongue was hangin' down VERY low... Brooke suddenly saw it and was just intrigued by it beyond belief.  She kept going up and looking in his mouth and trying to grab it.  She actually got it one time... Gus...such a gentle and great dog!!

LOVE the look on her face here....

I got it!

Of course they made up and she read him a night time story later.....

Bean Bag Buddies!!

Thank you Granny and Poppy Cows for the bean bags!! 

We love to sit and watch Wonder Pets in them!!

Reuse and recycle...right?

Girls go "green".....

Trip to Smiley - May/June 2011

Had a great time at Granny and Poppy Cows' earlier this summer.  It was HOT..but it was fun!  Below are some pictures to highlight the trip!

Poppy Cows took us to look at some of the cows...we helped him feed (sort of!).

Ashlee talked to this one for while....

We went swimming almost every day..and sometimes 2-3 times a day!

Gigi and Granny supervised this round....

Ashlee ... "howling" for some reason....

Brooke..playing with her boats..

 

My camera lense messed up on this one...makes me mad..as it's a cute one of Poppy Cows and Ashlee...

but I did get this one of Granny and Brooke...

Going for a walk......exerting a little energy...

Ashlee found a rock....or 2...or 10! 

 Lil' Miss Independent took off with Charlie...

"Momma...rock?"  "No Ashlee...big pile of poo"...

Time for a break...tired. 



Coloring a picture for Daddy...

Who couldn't love these.....

These are a few months old...but what's NOT to love about these faces!! 

Love my girls.....
