Kentucky Trip 2015

(Better late than never)

We went to visit Grandma and Grandpa McGowan over the 4th of July, I know Matt was so excited to show his little girls the lake house he grew up going to and loves so much still to this day. We had an okay travel day there one couple hour delay due to weather but we survived and the girls didn't get put on the no fly list so we will call it a win. A big thank you to Grandma (Judy) for buying and supplying everything we needed to have fun so we didn't have to airfreight our whole house to Kentucky!

Lawnmower rides were a big hit

The trip home was.....it was 2 plane rides with toddlers...feel like I don't have to give more explanation than that if you have ever done it you know but again we survived and decided we will hold off on flying until these girls are safely addicted to ipads.

Life lately

We have been having so much fun with these little ladies lately. They change and learn new things everyday from new words to new "tricks" like pointing out all their body parts or recognizing family members in pictures. (They have a special love for Bubba since he has a beard and I think is easily recognizable they point him out often also since he let Riley play with his iPhone for a while at Brooks's baby shower every time she sees a phone she says "BUBBA")







Their swim outfits are funny but they help from having to wrestle them down to put sunscreen on

All fun and games until someone poops in their swim diaper



We love ring around the roses

We went out to eat one night during the week to change things up since we have the same routine all.the.time and these girls discovered tortillas

Wrestling with daddy

Fun at a little gymnastics place

Sloan had chocolate milk for the first time and then was inspired to dance while eating :)
