The summer has gone by too fast!!!

We have had a great summer....can't believe it is almost over!

Harper started using the excersaucer(sp?) and she loves it! She hardly ever uses the baby swing or even the bouncy seat anymore because she wiggles so much that she can just about wiggle herself out of them.
When Harper gets really sleepy she will fall asleep anywhere. It doesn't matter what is going on around her. Avery seemed to think she needed some of her toys with her while she slept.
We went to Crown Center to check out the Clifford Exhibit and play in the fountains. Chloe loved the water right away but it took Avery a little bit to get comfortable with it. She tried to wear her towel in the water at first! It was a great free activity though!

Happy 4th of July!!!
Avery started taking dance classes. She seems to be having a great time with it!
Avery and Mallory after their first dance class!
Erik and I celebrated our 4th Wedding Anniversary on the 8th. We saw Grown Ups, did a little shopping and went out for a great dinner!
We took a weekend trip to the lake with some friends. It was so great to get away and just hang out. The kids all had fun swimming and playing. This is Harper and Henry. For some reason I couldn't get the other pictures on here of Avery and Mallory.
Playdate with our friend Hudson. We went up to the Northland to the spray park. The kids loved it. There was a playground next to it that we played at afterwards.

Avery had a PJ party for her 3rd birthday. It was so HOT that day but she had a great time!! Of course I didn't have my camera out but this was some of the kids dancing to Dora. We had a projector up and they watched it on a big screen!
Harper in the Johnny Jumper. She is bouncing but not really jumping yet....unless Avery has a hold of the straps and then she is really going!
Avery gave Harper her first bite of the rice cereal. She wasn't too crazy about it but is getting better with it. She was a mess the first night though!

We went to the Lakewood Beach on Avery's birthday. It was so fun! Emma was stealing Harper's binkie. I think we have avery similar picture of Chloe stealing Avery's when they were this age!
Avery and Chloe had a great time at the beach. They swam so well on their own and attempted to make a sandcastle. Uncle Nicky helped them feed the ducks with all the food they dropped in the sand.
Avery got a big girl bike for her bday. She hasn't totally taken it for a ride yet. She is still pretty hesitant. She rode it all around Wal-mart so I know she can but we are just waiting for her to get up the courage to do it here. It is blue...of course!
Still can't believe Avery is 3!! When I logged on to update the blog I had to make a new countdown for her next birthday. I made it say that she was 3 years and 4 days......I wasn't ready for the one that said we had only 11 months and 26 days until she was 4!!!!!
Hope everyone is having a great summer!!!!
