A Lot of This and That

We never miss an opportunity to stop and smell the roses. 

Sydney and her little neighbor friend Gabby. 

We got this tag-a-long from a neighbor and Sydney loved it! She couldn't reach the peddles, but she just tucked her feet up and held on. Cameron wasn't so sure about the whole thing. 

This is what happens when you forget to bring swimming suits to a park that has a water feature. Thank goodness it was a gazillion degrees so they at least dried off quickly.

Look at this little mother in the making, cutting her food and holding baby all at the same time (right after she cooked a full dinner and set the table!)

Sydney still isn't clear on what to do with paint. Crazy kid!

We had dinner with some friends a few weeks ago. Look at all these kiddos sitting at the table all by themselves. #sogrownup

For those of you who were wondering, this is how we exercise at our house...in style! (These pictures are from a run I went on with the girls). 

There is a great rose garden by the pool we go to, so (of course) I forced the girls to pose for me one day after swimming.

Sydney "borrowed" this baby from her friend Gabby a few weeks ago and wouldn't put it down for days. I finally had to buy her a new baby so that she would give Gabby's baby back. 

Here we are, just playing at the "train park", notice Cameron's sweet outfit (yeah, I'm thinking it's getting a little small!)

Ryan's office had a going away party for a few employees. Sydney was making friends with the boys AND chowing on some yummy cupcakes. That's my girl! 

This makes my heart melt, sweet sisters reading books together. 

We went to the Denver Children's Museum a few weeks ago. It is such a fun place, especially the grocery store section. 

Papa and Mimi took Cameron on a special outing to the circus, so Ryan and I took Sydney out for a date night just the three of us. We went out to dinner and then went to play at the park. I think she was digging being an only child. 

Two cool cats on our way into church. 

Cameron got a new haircut. She was so good at the salon and the new hair-doo is pretty darn cute if you ask me. 

Ryan had tickets to the VIP tent at the start of Stage 6 of the Pro Cycling Challenge. We got to see all of the famous cycling people up close. 

I'm not sure exactly what the girls were doing, but Granne sent us these pictures while the girls were at her house one day.  

Mimi's birthday was August 28. 

Cameron started soccer. These are a couple pictures from her first practice. Analucia and Mason are her little friends! 

And of course Sydney was hanging out at practice too. This is her with Ethan, Analucia's little brother.

My Aunt and Uncle came to visit over Labor Day. Cameron and Sydney loved hanging out with their boys.

We also went to a baseball game with the fam. I don't think I really watched any of the game, but I think the girls had fun! This picture is courtesy of Cameron. :)

Monday morning Ryan and I ran the Park to Park 10 miler. It was a really nice run. (Don't have any pictures from that). 

Monday night, we went to Nic and Rachael's wedding celebration. I love weddings! I just think it's so much fun to share in such an important day of someone's life! 

And last but not least, here are the girls "Shakin' their bodies". Where do they get this stuff?? :) 

And with that, our summer comes to an end. {TEAR} It was definitely one fun summer! I'm so not ready for it to be over. But I guess now it's onto pumpkin everything... it could be worse. :)
