Monthly catch-up!

Once again I am playing catch-up! I have lots of creations I still haven't posted yet, but for now here are some more June pictures!

Last week Brailee asked if she could hold Trysten and read him a story - how sweet! She read him The HICCUPotamus. It was so cute, she would 'read' the page "The Hiccupotamus says hic, hic, hic!" then turn the page and it was the same thing over and over. I just love how my girls adore their baby brother! Trysten always falls asleep on our bike rides and Brailee is always in the bike trailer saying, "Mommy, the bumps are going to wake up Trysten!" She takes such good care of him.

We've had a cool and wet summer so far - which is good, we could really use the moisture! The reservoirs are really looking good this year - probably the highest I've ever seen them. Anyway, it finally got warm enough last week so I broke out the Slip 'n' Slide and the girls had a blast. We got the pool set up this last weekend and they've already had so much fun playing in the water - they would live in their swimsuits if I let them ;-P

An update on our animal friends - I think some of the bunnies may be living under our back porch - either that or they just like to hide there and in our Raspberry bushes. They are getting braver however - I took this picture the other day when we were playing outside.

And I think these are our little robin chicks - they sure are growing, though!

Trysten loves to be outside - here he is in his swing. See our Raspberry bushes behind him - we are going to have LOTS of berries this year, we are so excited! And our Strawberries are doing really well too, this year we've managed to keep them safe from squirrels and birds.

Sleepyheads! This first picture is from a couple Sundays ago - Brailee was so tired after church she just went downstairs and climbed up on the couch and crashed! And then just some other random sleeping pictures ;-)
