Pics of the girls

Here are just a few pics of the girls playing. Alexandra is trying to take her clothes off in a couple of these pictures. She is always ripping bows and ponytails out of her hair and apparently now she is going to start trying to undress herself. On another note Samantha is completely potty trained and has been for a little over a week. I was hoping she would do this before she turned 3 and she did, I am so proud. One little hiccup we have is that she apparently doesn't like public restrooms. We went to the mall today and we spent no joke half the time we were there in the bathroom. She kept telling me she had to poop but just couldn't go when we got in there. Probably doesn't help that she is constantly about to fall in and every 35 seconds the automatic toilet flushes on her. She kept saying that she wanted to go home to potty. So needless to say she never went and decided to hold it until we got home. I got to say that Justin and I really hate public restrooms and apparently this behavior has rubbed off on our poor daughter.

Another funny little story... Justin was out of town last night for work and he called to check on us and was asking about the girls. When he called Alexandra had already gone to bed. So Samantha gets on the phone and tells her Daddy that "Sissy is chasing bunnies in her sleep sack." She is so funny.

Alexandra's Baby Dedication

Alexandra was dedicated at church today.  She had all of her grandparents and almost all of her Aunts and Uncles (we missed you Kelly and Jason) there.  The church gave them a something that had her names scriptural meaning which is "Helper of Mankind" and this is her lifetime scripture:

"Let us draw near with confidence to the throne of grace, so that we may

  receive mercy, and find grace to help in time of need."

Hebrews 4:16

Our family all came back to our house for brunch and we all hung out and played with the girls.  It was a nice Father's day and a great day to have our baby girl dedicated.  Hope all of you had a good day as well.

Splash Pad

Today we went to the Splash pad with our friends Lucy and Erin.  The girls had a fun morning of playing in the water.  Alexandra ran away from the splash pad every chance she got.  Seems to be a thing she is going thru right now where every time you set her down she takes off like a bullet and she is so fast!  Sam kept drinking out of the little water spouts!  Can you say disgusting?  How do you explain to a 2 year old that that is a health risk?  My detailed explanation was "Honey that is yucky, don't do it again."  My dear friend Erin is 17 weeks preggo and she refuses to put new info of Lucy up on her blog because she claims she is too sick to update her blog so I am putting a picture of sweet Lucy on here.  :)  To top off the morning Alexandra was sitting in my lap having a little snack after playing and she had to go pee.  Nothing like driving home with damp shorts.  I think little swimmers are worthless!  All that aside it was a fun summer morning with our friends!!!   Thanks for the invite girls!
