Summer 2011 Recap

A couple of my 2 favorite pictures from this summer are from Kates 4th birthday party (can you believe she is 4!!!) We had the bubble man here and lots of laughter with the kids. The best part was Kate saying how much she loved her party! And I just love the drop of drool getting ready to fall off Ellas chin.


Well....its official - I have been an awful blogger this summer. I have to say that Anthony and I have never had so much fun, been so busy, or so tired. The girls have grown and changed so much over the summer. Ella is a crazy little girl always on the move, starting to talk, run, and is into everything! Kate has started preschool, wanting to learn to read =), started to ride a bike, and finally put her head under water in swim lessons! So here is a recap of our summer through pictures.....










We ended the summer on Labor Day at Summit Lake. Both girls have gotten a lot of boating in this summer and are learning to enjoy it. They even got to watch Dad doing some water skiing or as Kate says "Zig Zaging"





We went to visit the Miltenbergers across the lake and Dennis helped Kate catch a fish!






Meal time = bath time of late!






Sisters!





Tera and Eric got married at the end of August. It was such a wonderful few days filled with great people, food, dancing, etc. The girls (well Kate) loved their flower girl roles, dancing, parties, etc.





Our #1 flower girl





The end of July = Camping in Chelan. We had so much fun with all kinds of fun friends.
