Summer Wrap Up

Another summer has come and gone...

too quickly might I add!

I'm happy to be in fall....but summer is just too short!

Here are a few summer pictures that never made it to the blog. :)

I love dressing them alike! 

So much fun!

 I also love Jo Jo in pigtails...

makes her look even more devious..

if that's even possible! :)

 When they aren't fighting they can actually play well together... 

I think I say this every day but I never realized how much a almost 2 year old and a 6 year old can fight!

Some days it's constant arguing...I want to pull my hair out...

but I don't :) and then they do something cute like this and makes me forget about the fighting.... 

{for like 5 minutes and then they are back to fighting...hehe}

Summer 2014 {Instagram}

One thing I've realized this summer is that I have taken less pictures with my camera 

and a lot more with my phone!

Instagram is just addicting! :)

(too early for the flash)

Kenzie loves getting her face painted!  

I think this might have been the best face painting job ever! :)

Kenzie loved it!

Spongebob day at camp.

Halloween day at camp. 

Back to school shopping at Target...

We went to Syracuse for a visit and Kennie loved holding baby Olive....

She also loved this Strechkins unicorn from Uncle Scott & Aunt Emily!

We spent a lot of time at the high school pool....

...and a lot of time at the new playground in town!

Kennie was so excited to receive her birthday gift from Abuela and Tia..

Frozen bedding!

Getting ready for a new school year with hair cuts (or trims)....

Scooter party with Emily :)

We finished the summer at the doctor...yuck!

Poor baby had this awful rash all over her body.

Turns out it was the coxsackie virus...not fun!

There you go....

The Fair

On Monday the girls and I went to the fair!  

I had a feeling it was going to be a little hard this year with Josie given her age 

(and personality! hehe) and I was right.  

She was fine for the first 10 minutes or so and then she decided she was over the stroller and kept on climbing out! Ugh....so I tried holding her hand and then she would bite me.  Ugh!  

She would scream, fall to the floor and run away.  Ugh!

So other than Josie's meltdowns we had a fun day.

We met up with Uncle Scott!
The girls just love him!

 Kenzie wanted to walk near him, hold his hand and sit by him at lunch....

and Jo was even happy being carried by him!

Makenzie loves these feet massage chairs! 

I think she would be happy just sitting on them all day! 

I didn't take a lot of pictures with my camera...

I was too busy chasing Josie around everywhere!

{to Jo's defense she had an upset tummy the day before and then developed this nasty rash all over her body at the fair which we later found out that she had the coxsackie virus.  And it was nap time ...and like 90 degrees...so all that considering she was pretty good! :) }

But I did snap a few pics with my phone....

Poor Kenzie was a 1/2 inch too short for most of the "cool" rides.  

But she did have fun on the rides that she could go on!

We went on the scrambler and I laughed the entire time...I have no idea why..

I guess it was a lot faster than I remember! 

But anyway...apparently Kenzie didn't like my behavior b/c she told me to stop laughing b/c I was embarrassing her!! What?!!? :( 

They both went fishing and won a prize!! :)  

Kenzie loves these....

We had to stop at all of them and she made me take a pic each time! :)
