Strawberry Pickin' Time

Strawberry picking has never been my favorite activity...but I have always gone with with my mom because it is a "tradition" (so she says).  This year being almost 8 months pregnant I REALLY was not looking forward to it.  However, it is a "tradition" so I thought I better take the girls and let it carry on. 

8 months pregnant and bending over to pick strawberries, 2 kids, a cool morning and a patient Mom/Grandma = a rather perfect day.  As a mom myself I now am suddenly sounding more like my own mother and realizing most of the stuff she made me do that I complained about....was actually worth the amazing memories.  Watching Bella and Gracie "pick" (eat) fresh strawberries from the field was awesome.  They loved it.  I must admit...if they ever complain I probably will make them come with me too!  You were right mom....thanks for the amazing day!

slip and slide fun

Love these pictures...Bella learning how to use the slip and slide.  We have not quite mastered the slide concept....she just runs.  Still, she has so much fun.  I love being able to let the kids just run free and enjoy summertime. 

Just had to add a picture of Bella and Gracie's newest cousin...and our new Godson.

Bella saying "no hands"...Gracie looks a little unsure of her sister.

Tumble Bus

For a Schreier birthday party we rented a Tumble Bus.  Pretty much a mobile gymnastics studio.  The bus has a zip line, balance beam, ball pit, mini trampoline and other mats and fun activities.  Bella and Gracie got to play in it along with their cousins.  If you are thinking about having a party I would definitely recommend this.  The kids loved it.
