Today we had a big storm...and we have a tree laying in our backyard to prove it!  After the storm Averi and Daddy went out to evaluate the situation...

Our Butterflies!

We Grew Painted Lady Butterflies!

We have been growing butterflies for the past two weeks.  They grew from catepillars, to chrysalides, and now they are beautiful butterflies!

Waiting on the butterflies to fly off to freedom!

We Love Playdates!

We got to have a playdate with Claire Shemmer last Friday! 
The girls had so much fun playing baby dolls and snacking on goldfish, while the mommies got to catch up!

Tin Caps Game!

Averi & Daddy...What is in the Tin Caps baseball hat in Averi's hands you ask...gummy bears of course!  To go along with her steak sandwich, cotton candy, and nachos!

So much fun at the baseball game with Addison, Averi, and Samantha!

Averi & Daddy at the game!

Averi's favorite part about her Tin Caps experinece was the "Fireworks" at the end!

Daddy took Averi to the Tin Caps game with The Schroeder's and G'ma & G'pa Brown.  They got to hang out with Eric and Addison Shippy too!  Then then ran into Aunt Lindsay!  It seemed like everybody was there and they had a blast.  So much fun:)



Zoo with the Schroeder's!

We love the Fort Wayne Children's Zoo!

Alexxa's Firsts...Crawling, Real Food, & More



Alexxa is on the move
(finally crawling as of a few weeks ago)! 
Watch out! 

She is into everything!  When she hears the word "no" she smiles at me and keeps doing what she is doing.



Real food...green beans, bananas, and string cheese:) I love it!

Alexxa will be pulling herself to a
standing position soon
...much to her sister's dismay.

                     Sisterly Love:)

"Alexxa, stay away from my squinkies!
They are too small for you."
shouts Averi at her little sis,
as she tries to esacpe her on the couch:)

Ready for Church!

Uncles, Aunts, G'pas "Oh My"
