Talking orange

Alina went swimming with her clothes on......

Me: "We're going to have to peel these clothes off of you!" 

Alina: "I'm kind of like an orange.  A talking orange."

HAHA

I haven't been very good at taking pictures lately but here are a couple!

Alina wanted me to take a picture of her with these toys haha

Best Friends

Alina and her bff Kaiya, the two of them are beyond cute playing together. 

And her other bff Colin.  The other day when I asked her who her best friend was she said "Colin."

Summertime!

Minnie Mouse!! 

For those of you who don't know I have severe eczema as a result of hormones from nursing (I mean severe like I had no idea eczema looked like this, painful, etc) so had to wear gloves while holding onto the rope before I threw it in; hence Minnie Mouse!

Alina and her good friend had a blast going out to dinner!

The Lake and the River!

Alina and her sand castle!

Fun with Bee and Bill!

Colin's first time swinging 

On to the River!

Our River boy fell asleep on the boat 

Trying to get a good picture of Alina and cousin Kane (almost impossible), they are so cute together!! 

So excited to go on the jetski!!

Watching fireworks!! She was so excited and kept yelling "fireworks!"  and clapping and yelling and was worried we were going to miss them!

Swinging together

Looking back

 I realized there are hardly any pictures of me and the kids, especially Colin, so here's one even though it is not great!

And one adorable one I found

How lucky are we

Two amazing kids!!

Talking to Dada

Sean is on a really bad rotation right now so he sometimes goes days without seeing Alina.  The other day she started having conversations with his picture on my phone and I would pretend to be Sean and talk back....so cute but so sad

And yes I have an old fashioned phone
