Backyard Fun!

We are definitely enjoying the summer! The girls have such a good time on the bouncy house. It has been super hot lately, so the girls got to play in their pull-ups only!

Unconditional love!
Gracie swatting at a fly. She got it too!!

Taking a little break...

Addy is not sure how she wants to go down the slide; backwards, feet first, head first. So many options!

Addy was checking to see if Gracie pooped! And she did!!

"Whee!"

Silly Pictures!

Nice crop Gracie!
They were wrestling!

She's a natural poser!

Tennis champs in the making!

The Schmidt Sisters!

Lake Tahoe!

We spent a week up in South Shore, Lake Tahoe. It was our 5 year anniversary plus Father's Day. Our resort was on the Nevada side, so we hung out at Zephyr cove, took a nice bike ride to a beautiful park, had some teriffic BBQs, took a carriage ride, did lots of fun stuff! We had a great week with good friends and family. Lake Tahoe is such a beautiful place. I can still smell the fresh pine...mmmmm!!

The girls "bonding" with Noah Bond! Get it...he he
Eric and Noah...so cute!

Gracie fishing with daddy.

This is at one of the top stops on the gondola at Heavenly. The view was breathtaking...but a bit chilly too!

The girls climbing the stairs back to the gondola.

Our first bus trip, and it was a nightmare! The driver was horrible...Stacy and I almost puked!
At least the kiddos seemed happy!

The twins enjoying life. Gotta love it!!!

Hanging out on the beach at Zepyhr Cove.

On our first pedal boat ride. A workout with kids on your lap!

Taking a nap under the umbrella. Those two little humps are hysterical!

Chillin with Grandma Jo!

Marine World!

We went to Marine World in Vallejo. It's practically in our back yard so we got season passes. The girls have such a good time, we plan on going at least once a week. They rode lots of rides, played in a tree house, and this time we all rode on an Asian elephant. Tons of fun!!

The girls with daddy on the balloon ride.
Mommy and the girls on the Jeep Safari ride. They are the drivers!!

Gracie going down the slide in the tree house!

Addy's turn...wee!

Here we are with Liz, the Asian elephant. Addison got to be in charge of her. She was smiling the entire time. It was a pricey ride, but soooo worth it!

Our Little Monkeys!

They were having fun jumping on the bed!

Silly little monkeys!!

Silly girls enjoying each other...

So precious!

TGIF

These are just a few pictures we took. We went to a TGIF party at Gary's principal's house in Napa. The girls looked so cute in their sundresses so we took the camera.

Addison , wow! She's digging for gold!
Gracie...our happy kid!

Mommy with her two favorite girls!

Daddy with his two favorite girls!

Their innocent curiosity...priceless!

Meet The Triplets!

Another P.E. Teacher in Gary's District, and his wife, had triplets 2 months ago. They are all home now and doing great! Walking into their house was a sight in itself, filled with lots of car seats, swings, bottles, etc., it made me a little stressed out. I COULD NOT IMAGINE! Sure, we are surviving with our twins, but three?? I mean, holy cow! Mom and Dad are staying strong and enjoying them while they are still so tiny.

Meet Devon! Isn't he a cutie? He weighs 8 lbs and loves to use his lungs!
Meet Tyler! He is Devon's identical twin. He's 7 lbs, and Gary is having deja-vu. He reassured me later that he does not want anymore babies...ever!

Meet Brett! He's the big eater and mama's boy. I got my baby fix that night for sure! Come on Gary, just one more...maybe a little boy? :)

Gracie was squeezing in to get some love from those little guys. She looks like a giant!

And there they are...Baby A, Baby B, and Baby C! Wow!! George and Lori are surviving...and don't even look sleep-deprived!
