Anna Kate got an adorable new hair cut last week.  I’ll get a good picture this week.  It’s precious.  She LOVES doing “homework” with Noelle, so we have been busy working on little worksheets this summer.

She looks so big and proud in this picture.  She was intentionally looking down and pretending to concentrate.  It was cracking me up.  I love her silly little antics so much!

Mike took off work one morning so that I could go to the doctor, and when I got home for lunch, this was waiting for me.  He’s the best!

Noelle and I have been busy crafting it up for the 4th of July.  She had another sleepover with Autumn this week and Suzanne took them to get this for breakfast!

We’ve had so much fun playing outside after dark this summer.  We just get out all the toys and let the kids play their hearts out.  Rose was being so silly with these glasses on one night; I had to run in and grab the camera.

Aww… sweet girl.

More “homework.”  We found a wonderful school for Anna Kate to go to in the fall, and she asks me every day if it’s time for her to go to school yet.  She can’t wait, but I can!

Malia came over to play one night, and the girls had a ball.  We did a little bit of everything, but the second picture is them having a tea party with goldfish and lemonade.  Noelle is so good with them and is always encouraging them and teaching them new things (like how to hold their pinky fingers while drinking tea).  It’s so neat to watch.

Sweet Lily turned 6 this week, and we had fun at her Pump It Up birthday!

This picture is out of focus, but Carson came over today and crafted it up with Noelle.  They did an art camp together earlier this summer, so I knew she would love to help Noelle work on some summer crafts I had planned.
