New and Improved!

Have you noticed? My blog is a bit different! Finally, something new and improved. My beautiful cousin Brooke came over one afternoon to show me the ropes of the blogging world. She spent 2 1/2 hours explaining all the fun things you can do to make your blog unique. (with some fun small talk in between) I can't wait to make it all new again. Thank you Brooke for being so generous with your time and knowledge.

I love, love, love to look at her amazing blog. Brooke definitely has a talent for writing.

You should check it out too!

Owen is actually 26 weeks old, but I still wanted to post this picture of week 25.

I wish you all could have been there for this photo shoot.

(out of 10 quick shots, this was the best.)

Rylie was so excited to be in another weekly shot with O.

Owen was not.

Although Rylie has a love/hate relationship with him, I know it is a phase.

I love Rylie.

SHE TALKS WITH HER EYES.SHE MAKES THE CRAZIEST FACES EVER.SHE WANTS TO BE IN ON ALL THE ACTION.SHE LOVES TO LEARN.SHE IS PRETTY DARN PREDICTABLE.SHE LOVES TO HELP ME.SHE LOVES HER SISTERS.

I love Rylie.

Silly Bandz galore!

My girls thought they hit the jackpot on Saturday.

Aunt Adrienne sent us a package chuck full of Silly Bandz.

(Even Ryan got his own set.)

We all put them on immediately and have been playing with them ever since.

Thanks Ade for keeping us oh so cool.

Butlerville Days!

We have a local parade and firework show to celebrate the 24th of July.

We live on a busy street which has one perk....front row seats to the parade.

Here are some cute girls getting ready to catch some candy.

Grandparents

Neighborhood friends

High five!

Coolest trick.

My favorite float.

Eating and counting the loot.

Seriously Silly

Dru and Owen

Same eyes

Same nose

Same mouth

Do you agree?

Gma and Gpa Martin took us out for some boating fun.

The girls were SO excited to go!

We had such a great time! Thank you!

The water was COLD. Rylie loved to dip her feet in the water while the wind blew in her hair.

Owen was a good sport on the boat. He didn't love his life jacket so we gave him some down time when we stopped to play for a bit.

Dru's new noodle trick.

Dru was the brave one this trip and jumped from the boat.

Ry surfing. He can't get enough of this!

Dru surfing!

I told you she was the brave one!

Maybe next time Liv.

A rare photo...

Owen SMILING while in the arms of Rylie.

Peek a boo!
