Museum visits with friends:

Dentist visits for the fam:

She really likes to eat markers.

Exploring

This little lady started soccer and she loves it!

So I got the urge to tear apart our fireplace a couple weeks ago. This is what it looked like beforehand - It had a big brassy covering over it. Not my favorite.

So I took it off and cleaned that sucker out. It was quite a job.

Added some candles, and voila! It's beautiful!

Crazy eyes!

Matching Starwars shirts!

Last week Sean's company had their annual picnic - we stopped by for a bit before church. 

Last Saturday I had an all day rehearsal for choir, so the girls got some one on one time with their Daddy-o. They went on a hike together.

Sweet girls doing some early morning reading. 

 CHEESE!!!!

I'm so impressed with how patient my little baby is when I need to run to the office for a little bit for work. She likes to read and color pictures for me, it's great.

Kisses for my baby!

S'mores and playing outside

Twinners:

 Sometimes I get visitors at the organ during prelude before church

Primary Program! It's the best Sunday meeting all year - and it was the best this year because Evette was in it! She did great! She knew her line and delivered it clear and beautifully! I was so proud of her. She's been working on the songs for weeks. She was so excited and did such a great job.

Miriam's new favorite thing is to wear my shoes all over the house. It's adorable, really.

This is Miriam calling for "Evie" or as she says it, "Weewee". It's adorable.

Nighttime snuggles.

{Zoo Visit}

One day the girls and I decided to head to the zoo. The weather was beautiful, and it was fun to spend all day long there. The girls were troopers and we saw all sorts of fun things.

Being monkeys, watching the monkeys, eating lunch.

While we were at the bat exhibit there was a young woman there with paper and colored pencils sketching. Evette commented on how fun that would be and how next time we should bring paper and crayons. The girl overheard (obviously, Evette hasn't mastered subtly yet), and offered an extra piece of paper and let her borrow the colored pencils for a bit. It was so kind! Evette plopped right down and drew herself a bat. It was adorable.

Helping little sister reach the elevator button.

At one point, Evette was too tired to walk anymore so Miriam decided to give her a ride. This was quite humorous, especially considering that it was uphill. But she sure did try hard!

And to end the day we took a little spin on the merry-go-round.

It was fun to spend some time with my girls.

{Labor Day Beach Trip}

Labor day was a beautifully hot day, so we decided to join our friends, and everyone else in California, and head to the beach. We drove down the coast until we found a place to park, and then unloaded and spent some time with the sun, sand, and waves.
