Happy 4th of July!

Shelby, Emma & Abbie get their nails done for the 4th!!

An All-American girl...

Sparklers are fun!

But the glow sticks are even more fun! This is what Lauren did during the fireworks show.

And this is how the girls ended up by the time we got home. What a day!

A Tired Baby!

I put Lauren in her crib to play the other day and this is how I found her when I went to check on her. Tired baby!!

Weekend at Lincoln City

Lauren & Mama in the hot tub. She really liked it, especially having Shelby, Emma & Abbie in there to play with her.

Shelby & Abbie having fun in the sand!

Lauren hanging out on the jeans blanket.

The kids enjoying the huge sandcastle Martin & Jason created.

Thumbs up for the hot tub!

Swimming Lesson, Memorial Day & Mohawks

Well, Shelby finished her "Eel" swimming class. She's ready for the summer! Now we just need to help Great Grandpa & Grandma get the new liner in the pool so we can swim!



Memorial Day Weekend at Long Beach. Lots of bike riding!

And taking a bath in the sink in the little house...

Shelby and I were playing with Lauren's hair in the bath, giving her a mohawk. What a cute girl!

Mother's Day

The McCombs girls...

SISTERS!

What a great Mother's Day gift!

Swimming Lessons

Shelby was so excited for her swimming lessons. She came out of her room the night before her lesson looking like this...

Getting ready to practice putting her face in the water and blowing bubbles.

First Foods

Lauren is thinking 'what is this stuff you're putting in my mouth'. She certainly wasn't interested at all in food when we first started giving it to her. She's slowly getting the hang of eating, but still very rarely actually opens her mouth to the spoon. Oh well, she'll get it soon enough.

Shelby demonstrates to Lauren how to open her mouth for a bite!

Lauren's First Mission Trip

Lauren celebrated her 6 month birthday on her first ever mission trip to California. Here is a picture of Lauren and Grandpa with the camel at Six Flags Discovery Kingdom.

Easter Bunny

The annual Easter egg hunt sponsored by our credit union was today. Shelby did the hunt and came home with some candy and other goodies. Lauren is a little young for an egg hunt, but she did get to sit on the bunny's lap with her big sister...

Don't Let Me Fall

Lauren is getting stronger and stronger everyday and is able to sit up by herself briefly, but she usually ends up a little sideways...

and since I still have gotten Lauren's 4 month pictures in the mail as Marci has requested countless times, here they are...

Cute girls

Shelby wanted Lauren to play dress up. Doesn't Lauren just look thrilled to be a bunny?

Lauren's not quite sure about this rocking caterpillar that Santa brought.

And Shelby looking cute on a Saturday afternoon...

Sisters?

Are these girls sisters or what???
