The last few weeks

Fourth of July

So I didn't think I had any pictures from the fourth of July. However, they don't really have much to do with the holiday. We actually did stuff that day too even though Nate worked for half the day. The girls and I went to a pancake breakfast with some friends, a parade and festival in the morning. Nate met up with us at the festival and then we headed home for naps. That evening we went to a party and watched the fireworks. Both of the kids fell asleep during the fireworks show. This picture is while we were barbecueing at home. Kali made her apron, well of course she didn't write her name but she did all the rest by herself. We made Nate and apron for barbecueing for father's day and the girls each made one of their own too.

Bristol and her apron.

I am not sure where her pants went. I am not sure if you want to trust this chef.

Helping daddy barbecue. It was raining all afternoon and evening on the fourth of July. It was so crazy because that is something I am definitely not used to. I have to say I prefer the sunny weather of California. It just seemed too weird to be almost stuck inside on the Fourth of July.

Youngs Dairy

We headed out to a dairy farm the other week with a playgroup. The kids loved petting the animals and feeding them food. The best part was that they have a restaurant and ice cream store and have great ice cream from the milk they get from the cows.

Kali loved feeding them too.

Feeding the baby goats.

Kali loved pretending to drive these tractors.

Bristol trying to convince Kali that it would be ok for them to share the steering wheel and to smile for the camera. Kali was not having it.

I came out of my room the other week and this is what was happening. Bristol had pushed the chair up and had washed her painting bowl and brush and Kali was up there helping her wash dishes.

What can I say I guess they are learning at an early age how to do dishes.

This has become my new problem. Kali can remove most pants, especially pj bottoms, and immediately will take her diaper off. She then heads to the bathroom and tries to go. However, she has yet to produced anything on the toilet. I don't want to discourage her, but after putting her diaper on about ten times in twenty minutes it gets a little old. I also love this picture because of her major tan line. Can you tell we have been swimming a lot lately.

So Kali asks to watch my pilates video every few days. I think, "really are you serious". So moments before the picture was taken Kali was laying down doing pilates too. Pretty funny if you ask me. Bristol knows all the moves it is so funny.
