Snuggle Bug

This trip Ansley could not get enough of her big boy cousins. Any chance she had she was snuggling with them or giving them hugs! She loves these boys.

Aunt Mis, warming up Mia after a dip in the pool!

Pool Time

Ansley and Ki were doing handstands, here is Mia's version. Nanny said she looked like a sea turtle!

Hanging with Kianna!

Jump!

And Jump!

Good Morning!

Ansley and Mia couldn't wait to get to Aunt Missie's to see their cousins! They woke everyone in the house up! It was pretty well received, lots of hugs and kisses were shared!

Happy Father's Day!

The girls with their daddy!

Father's Day 2010

The girls were so excited to celebrate their daddy!

Trying out the new chairs!

Waiting patiently for the opening to begin.

Hip Hip Hooray It's Father's Day!

Summer Food!

We enjoyed sweet corn last night! The girls couldn't get enough! Yum!

Fast Forward 12 Years.....

I'm a little afraid of what we might see! These girls have so much fun in their Jeep!

Book Fair

Friday the girls and I hit their book fair at school! They LOVE books so this was like a treasure. They each chose a book and a reading pointer! We also got to see their teachers so they got some extra love.

Treats from New Jersey....Yep Jersey!

S. traveled to N.J. for work this week and he brought us back a treat! If you ever have watched Cake Boss on TLC this is the featured bakery! He needed a little persuading to go stand in the long line, but he didn't disappoint! The cupcakes were phenomenal. I think I need a TLC cake show, I'm working on the title!

WOW.....is there a happier moment?

Pure joy!

D-E-L-I-S-H

The Sharpless girls love them some sugar! Daddy sure knows how to be sweet!

4th of July

I decorated our entrance tree for the 4th! I LOVE this summer holiday!

Gymnastics

Mia loves to take a break from the activity and come give me a kiss! She says she needs a "gymnastics kiss".....Who could resist that?!?

Good Morning!

Getting in a little excercise before heading out this morning! They are actually getting better....it's still funny though!

Painting Pottery

This morning we met up with a friend to paint pottery. Ansley chose to paint her ladybug black and Mia's I think will mostly be blue. Ava painted a rainbow box using all the colors! The girls enjoyed the project. We then ventured to lunch.....a fun girl day!

Buckle Up!

We are one step closer to independence. Ansley can buckle herself in her car seat, Mia is wanting to keep up so she has mastered the center buckle! These girls continue to grow!

Blessed

I am so blessed to have such good friends. Last night we got together and celebrated Emilie. I so enjoyed the evening out, but also the company I was with. God continues to work in her and I feel very honored to celebrate with her. She finished her 6 weeks of treatment and is doing great! We had dinner, chatted and ended the evening with cake! I didn't have my camera but the memory of all of us chatting and laughing will be forever in my "memory bank." Em is a great wife and mommy, but she is also very talented at stating things just the way they are. She has posted an article about her journey on www.peekaboonwa.com I am a believer that God doesn't make mistakes, Em is my proof that when your heart and mind are in the right place all things are possible through Him. I have always had a unshaken Faith, but I have grown so much watching her on this journey. The tears I have cried for her and her family are now replaced with that "hope" she exudes. She has touched so many people with her life and her Faith, God doesn't make mistakes. Thanks Em for being you..... YOU DID IT! I can't wait to have cake with you again soon!

Just Plain Funny!

She had her booty shaking but the hoola hoop was around her ankles! Look at that face!

This just cracks me up!

After the pool we broke out the hoola hoops! This just brings on a big belly laugh! We laughed so hard we thought we would cry! These girls are so much fun!
