just playing around...

Berkley has recently discovered how to back up and sit down in someone's lap, which mostly occurs when it's story time. She also decided that it is a fun idea to do with Chloe. So cute, huh?!
Oops, I've been spotted! I snuck away to grab the camera just in time to capture the moment! Did you notice the book- yep, it's Everyone Poops and that just so happens to be one of Berkley's favorite books :-)

Chloe was playing around when I saw her doing this and asked what she was doing, to which she replied, "I'm fixing my car, Mommy!" Grandpa Fredericks will be proud!

Much to my surprise, Berkley has come to love dramatic play, especially play that involves purses, jewelry, and babies. She loves for me to help her put on bracelets, necklaces, and headbands just long enough to walk around the house once before ripping it all off and starting over again! So cute!

Gorgeous little babe!

What a pretty little girl in a semi-horrible tee! Haha! I know you're all probably thinking, "Jen! That's horrible!" Well, first of all, I'm only speaking the truth, and second, in my defense, I did NOT choose this shirt. It lately has been my mission to give Chloe some reign over what clothing items we purchase for her. Why, you might ask? Well, I figure that getting dressed will be less of a hassle if there are things in her closet that SHE loves.

Aww! What cute cousins. Ryker kept pulling the wagon everywhere and Berk was pushing from behind! Love it!

What a pose :-)

Sweetheart!

Oh, and please excuse the small gray dot on Chloe's nose. We've been having a slight camera malfunction that causes only some pictures to have this in certain spots! Grr!!

And, this is what Berkley thinks of Chloe! Hilarious!!

Swim party & a few extras

Chloe LOVES to help water flowers, and if the flowers have already been watered she will water literally whatever else you will let her (including the sidewalk)!!

Total cheese mug- this girl loves chips especially those with cheesy attributes :-)

Notice all the crap in the background?? That would be the beginnings of our packing to move (more on that subject later)...

Love this little turkey!

A while back, and I mean a WHILE because it was seriously almost a month ago, we had a swim party for our weekly playgroup at Wendi's house. Alan, Chad's dad, surprised everyone and came around the corner of the house looking like this and prepared to spray everyone he saw! The kids were all sort of perplexed at first; none of them were certain who that was under that mask. It was really cute!

Owen LOVED the slip n' slide!

Berkley liked trying to drink the spraying water, though she wasn't very fond of being in it!

Brock's cute little face :-)

Halle and Chloe were being silly as always!

Berk and Leah spent a lot of time lounging in the chairs, and Berk got such a kick out of her!!
