Can You Canoe?

Can-oe canoe? get it, like can you, can-oe? lol I know, I know, I'm funny. We went with some friends to Shoestring Lake in Wyoming. It was so much fun! Well, not at first, the kids were awful the first part. The girls hated and i mean HATED their life jackets. Too bad, huh? Here are some pictures from our awesome, awesome day!!

I'm a big girl now!

The girls have officially outgrown their footie jammies. I would buy them bigger ones, but I can't find the thinner fabric ones anywhere. Its hot here and we don't have A/C so I turn a fan on in their room, but in the middle of the night they get cold, so we bought them two piece 12 month jammies. I almost cried when I say them in the jammies, because they look so big. I can't believe that they're almost 18 months!

Aren't they adorable?

See what happens when....

Nana give the girls each an Oreo...

 Things get messy. . .

 Things get ugly. . .

 Addie is excited. . .

 the floor looks like a muddy dog walked through it. . .

 Peytie is content. . .

 Ben is sad that Nana gave the girls the last of the cookies. . .

Yes, this is what happens when Nana give the girls each an oreo.

Happy Birthday, Spiderman!

Ben is 3, officially. He had his birthday party on Saturday, the 9th and turned 3 on the 10th. I'm so proud of my little boy. He is super smart, talks really really well, is well behaved (for the most part), and loves to help and play with his little sisters. He is currently obsessed, and I do mean in the strictest definition, obsessed!! he watched the cartoons on netflix and all he talks about is spider-man. obviously for that reason, we had a Spectacular Spider-man party. Here are the decorations and friends that came:

 The Pinata. Its red with a spiderweb on it. 

 

His birthday cupcake with 3 candles!

Its been so hot here, and with no AC, we spent a bit of our evening outside in the shaded side of the house. We found our first strawberry of the season, which Addison promptly took a bite our of, claiming it as her own. (video to follow!) The kids we so cute, I took some pictures, then we took a few family ones. Here are the best pictures of each of the kids:
