Triathlon Time!

Lance did the Square Lake Triathlon a few weeks ago.  We were lucky to have a big crowd there supporting Lance.  Thanks to Jenni, Megan, Rusty, Tamara, Grammie, Grampie, Nana, Papa and Grandpa you made our day!
Lance and the girls before the race started.

Megan and Lance.  She's so sweet, she made him a sign to support him.  Love her!

It's begun.

Swim's over, time to bike.

Bike is over, now the final stage, running.

Coming down the final hill.

He's finished!  Woo Hoo!  Good job Lance!

Outdoor Time!

The girls love being outside and especially with their new playset and outdoor toys (Thanks to our friends for being so generous!)  The girls have taken up golf as well. 
They might as well be on the golf course.

She's looking a little guilty.

Aftin loves the slide.

Learning to drive.

Bailee's turn on the slide.

Check out that hair!

Pure joy!
Not sure what a wheel barrow is truly for.

Bailee's turn.

Lance's Birthday!

Lance's birthday was on Labor day and so we went for a 20 mile bike ride on the Gateway trail and then headed over to the Dairy Queen in Stillwater for a birthday treat and lunch.  It was a wonderful day and the weather was awesome.

Shoes are Fun!

Bailee loves putting on our shoes lately.  Here she is with another great outfit.

Girls and Square Lake Park

The girls and I spent some time at Square Lake Park while Lance practiced for the triathlon.  I caught a couple pictures of them hanging out.


Wings and a Helmet

The girls got fairy outfits for their 18 month pictures and I thought it would be fun to get a few pictures of them trying them on.  Aftin also had to have Daddy's bike helmet on to see how it fit.  I think we could probably go with a smaller size, but I love how cute it is on her.

Hot Wheelin' Time!

They are already driving!  Grammie took this picture of the girls and shared it with us.  The girls love being outside and riding toys are extra fun for them.  Thanks for sharing Grammie!

Cabin Time with the McNamara's!

We spent last weekend with the McNamara family, Tina, Susie, Maggie and Joey at their family cabin up north.  The girls had a great time in the water and then we got packed up and went to the Rutabaga festival in Cumberland for some rides and food.  The girls got to go on their first rides.  It was beautiful outside and the company was wonderful.
All the girls floating in the lake.

More playing...

The girls on one of the rides.  Love the tongue out on Maggie.  Adorable!

Aftin enjoyed a blue raspberry ring pop before going to the festival as you can see by her bright blue lips and mouth.

Aftin telling us what she thought of the Super Slide with a look.  Priceless!

The girls on the carousel and no Aftin isn't sleepy, just a bad picture...

18 Month Update

I haven't updated on what Aftin and Bailee have been up to in the last 6 months, so here it goes.  They have been loving summer and all the water activities that we have done.  Bailee loves the pool where as Aftin loves the sprinkler.  We have been camping quite a few times and they are natural born campers.  They have slowed a little in the growing department so I haven't had to do as much shopping as I was doing in the past.  Their favorite foods are: mini bagels, crackers, smoothies, any type of meat, Gerber pasta, green beans, yogurt and cottage cheese.  They are saying a lot of words now: Rookie, meow, all gone, melmo, done, Bailee, Aftin, Joey, Stoli, more, down, up and the list could go on.  We also got rid of nuks and it was a difficult first week but they are doing great now.  Aftin says, nuks all gone, bye bye, no more.  They are playing with legos a lot and reading books each day.  Bailee enjoys walking around carrying things, like our laundry baskets and ice cream buckets.  Aftin enjoys walking around with purses.  Our next step is potty training and they enjoy sitting on the potty chair, just haven't actually used it yet.  They are very busy and happy girls.  We are truly blessed.
