Summer Fun

Hello! It's been awhile since I lasted blogged and when I looked on my camera today I realized there were a lot of pictures that were worth sharing with family and friends. :)

Sorry, these two pictures are out of order.

Even though Harper is a girl, she has always preferred playing with cars, trucks, trains and calls. But recently, she has started to play with her baby dolls. She now insists on taking a baby to bed with her at night, which Josh removes from her crib when he checks on her later because she is usually smothering. And now I often find her caring for her baby...brushing baby's hair, wiping baby's face, and even sucking our baby's nose (which she makes the sound effects for).

Playing at the pool. Harper is a little fish, even more then Lake was at her age. She has no fear of the water, so I have to keep a close eye on her.

Lake loves the diving board. He literally sprints off and belly flops into the water, and comes out saying "Again!"

Going down the family slide. It took all summer for Lake to go down this slide by himself last summer, so he is a pro now.

And of course, Harper has to do everything Lake does, so she too is going down the slide with help from Daddy.

They were going on a walk to find Bea. She often goes missing when we are outside and returns awhile later. It drives me crazy because I worry she is going to get hurt and make our neighbors mad, but she finds a way to sneek off everyday.

While waiting for Josh to come home from work so we could go swimming all together, Lake decided it was too hot to just play, so we turned on the sprinkler.
