trying to be creative

Audrey was down taking a nap so I went outside to enjoy the sunshine. As I was sitting there I thought that I would just go around taking random pictures of the flowers in our yard. These are just a few of my favorites...

This is one of my favorite verses. Just thought it would look kinda cool putting it with a flower picture...

audrey splashing in the pool

this is audrey splashing in the pool when we went to montavilla park on 4th of july.

4th of july fun

on 4th of july, the fam went to montavilla park to go swimming. jen, bryan and gabe got there before the rest of us and were already in the pool having fun. i fed audrey half her bottle on the way there and mom finished giving her bottle after we all got settled in, then they came in the pool to join the fun. gabe just got done with swimming lessons and was just having a ball. he should all the things that he learned. he also wanted to go sown the slide about a million times and almost karate-chopped bryan in the head, catching him! lol jaden went down a couple of times too, but wasn't that thrilled with it. audrey had an absolute blast being in the pool. you could say that she was definitely in her element...being outside and in a pool to keep her cool. my baby is so hot-blooded. i have no idea where she go that. she will sweat when it is like 60 degrees outside.

after the pool, we went home and had a bbq and then later to jen and bryan's to watch fireworks. i was afraid that audrey might not like the fireworks because of the loud noises but she was completely intrigued by them. gabe did better this year too. last year, he wouldn't be outside to watch the fireworks cause he was too scared of them. not this year though, he was right in on the action. jaden did a couple of sparklers and had fun watching the fireworks. at one point, he was standing at the edge of the sidewalk to trying to blow one of them out. lol too funny. all in all, it was a good day. completely wiped audrey out for the night.


happy first 4th of july, audrey!

audrey eats cereal for the first time

july 4th, 2009
audrey ate rice cereal for the first time. she did such a good job. she knew how to open her mouth and chew her food. she didn't have any reactions to it at all which is good. i've been feeding it to her at least once a day so that she can get used to it. i can't believe how fast she is growing!
