Family Time

We're playing beanbags and the girls are our cheerleaders, probably Grandma and mine because we needed it the most. :o)

The girls and the most beautiful sky ever!

Grandma painting Ella's nails.

Eva and our visitor Belle. Ella and I were at a birthday party so Eva had Belle all to herself.

The girls walking Belle!

Eva's trying to keep up!

Here come Ella! Eva was too little.

Ella and mommy on the Ferris Wheel. Eva was too scared!

The pig races!

The girls had 1st row to watch the pic races!

Ella riding a John Deere

The girls and Brutus and "Uni" Daddy won her for them.

Eva's petting a sheep, I think she likes it!

Eva finally got the courage to ride the rides!

You can see Ella's hair flying...they must be going fast.

A birthday cake to celebrate Columbus's 200th birthday and a cow all made of butter.

We got to milk a cow...something I have always wanted to do.

A snake...Yuck! She liked it and so did Eva but daddy said Eva just pet it. It was pretty heavy for them!

Sorry to say we didn't get many pics of G&G, we took so many over the weekend in Nigara Falls I think we just were sick of them and kind of forgot. We all had a wonderful time, I got to enjoy a little time to myself while the grandparents just soaked up all the love from the girls. Monday we were lazy, I had to work the evening. Tuesday we went to Easton to shop a little, eat out, and watch an outdoor movie- Tangled. We all had a great time! Surprisingly no pics! Wednesday I worked the dayshift and we hung out the rest of the day, soaked up some sun. Thursday Grandma and I went to the spa to get an herbal wrap. Which made us shrink, tightened our skin right up and; so relaxing. That evening Evan and I went out for dinner and a movie. We had so much fun just enjoying each other and it was so nice not having to worry about the girls or what time we would be home. Friday we enjoyed the last day, rode a pony at my friend Jenna's. The girls loved it! Then just relaxed at home! I worked the overnight and spent some time with G &G in the morning before they took the girls and Evan out to eat before leaving. I slept! We want to thank them for everything they did for us, it was such a blessing having them here to help and to truly get to know the girls. They love them so much! We took the remainder pics on Sunday at the Ohio State Fair. We had a great time despite the heat!

Niagra Falls

The girls just chillaxin on the couch!

Just daddy and Ella went to a Reds game. Since Ella's in the Reds Kids Club she was able to get an autograph and sat close to the field. They had a great time!

Ella eating a piece of pizza bigger than her head. :o) She ate the whole thing though!

Where did Ella go? Trying to keep entertained throughout the game...they get a little long.

Peek-a-boo

Oops sideways...but it rained for awhile but they still played on time.

Ella again...playing with daddy's glasses.

Again...Ella is eating pizza. At the hotel with Grandma and Grandpa in Cleveland on our way to Niagra Falls.

Swimming! The girls' favorite part.

Relaxin with papa before bed.

On our way to Niagra Falls

We made it and the girls decided not to nap on the way...so we carried tired little girlies.

The American side of the Falls.

The Canada side at night.

Grandma and grandpa watched the girls while Evan and I had a few hours to explore the sights.

Eva playing the Ipad...their new favorite toy!

Canada side!

Made of the Mist boat! We didn't do that one bc the girls would not appreciate getting drenched.

Eva dancing.

We did an underground tour that led us to a great view and behind the falls. We got a little wet but the yellow bags helped.

That great view.

Sorry its been so long we have been busy and now have family in town. Oh and our computer is on its last leg so everytime I try I loose half of it and don't have time to finish it. Anyways we've been trying to soak up the summer sun and relax a bit. We've had library times, friend pool parties, and movie days at the theater. Back to work and searching for new ones. Evan and I will NOT give up. Grandma and Grandpa are staying with us all this week and its been wonderful thus far. I have gotten to work more and been able to be a little selfish, and I love it. Thanks grandma and grandpa! Ella and Eva love the pool the most and popsicles too! Ella is getting excited to start school which begins late Aug. Eva and I will hopefully find some more activities to do in the fall. They enjoyed Niagra Falls but thought they best part was that wherever we went G&G did too, they even followed us home. I hope everyone else is enjoying their summer as well.
