My mom gave Isabella another manicure/pedicure. I think this was the second time she let Mimi do this. I can never get her to let me paint her toes or fingernails. Somehow Mimi can! She shows them off, pretty cute! It only lasts about a day since her hands are in her mouth a lot, but it's cute while it lasts!
Are those the cutest little feet?? 
They look beautiful Mimi!

Happy Father's Day!

All the reasons Travis is the best Dad ever:
He loves Trace and Isabella so very much!
He’s a great role model for our kids.
He works and takes care of Isabella during the day. I really don’t know how he gets anything finished ever!
He did the same thing for Trace when he was little.
He makes Trace “wiggly” sandwiches.
He makes Isabella’s lunch for her to take to school in the morning. (Tues./Thurs.)
He used to take Trace to Stay and Play even though he was the ONLY Dad there.
He takes Trace in the front yard to play golf.
He makes up really good stories to tell Trace at bedtime.
He wants Trace to sleep with us on Fridays.
He wrestles with the kids.
He wants our kids to grow up in the church, and know Jesus.
He takes Isabella on walks around the neighborhood while I’m at school.
He makes Friday “Trace Day” where Trace gets to pick where we eat and what movie we watch.
He SPOILS our kids.
He takes Trace to Target to look for new super heroes.
He plays games, works on puzzles.
He sets up the sprinkler and baby pool for the kids to play in.
He goes to the grocery store with Isabella. (not fun)
He watches Barney and Elmo with Isabella.
He's the BEST!
I could go on……
I am so thankful to have a husband who is such a wonderful father to my children. Thank you Travis! I love you!

BIG T
Trace put on this little show the other day at Mimi's house. He is rapping??? Have no idea where he got this from. We do not listen to rap ever! He has all of these moves and hand movements that crack me up!! After he performed for us, Isabella decided that she needed to! She put on the hat and other stuff T had on! It was hilarious.

LIttle Gym
Little Bella is taking a Little Gym class this summer. I couldn't go last week, so my mom and sister took her. They said she did pretty good. I went with her yesterday to the second class. Well.... she hates the circle time! She would NOT touch the bells and would not walk or run around in a circle. Weird? She loved everything else, but wanted nothing to do with the orgainized stuff. She wanted to do what she wanted to do. She also did not want that teacher near her. My silly Bella! Maybe next week we can join the circle time without screaming! :)

She got a "10" on her beam routine!

Our friend Valerie had a fishing bday party this past weekend. It was such a great idea! All of the kids got a little backpack with a fishing pole and sun glasses in it. They got to try out their new poles at the pond that was in the park. Fun Party! I wish one of my kids had a bday in a summer month! 
Do I look like a fisherman or what?
WORMS!!
Look who we saw by the pond! A momma duck and her babies!

We didn't catch anything but Hayden's fishing line, but we had fun!

My little Tiger
Trace started golf lessons last week! He has been playing in the front yard for awhile and was pretty good, so we decided to give it a try. He's not the most aggressive kid, so we are thinking golf might be a good fit. He was so cute! It was funny watching all of the other golfers on the driving range, and then right there in the middle was little Trace trying his best to hit the ball. He was too cute. He had a blister at the end on his hand from gripping the club so hard. He got a Gatorade at the end and thought that was pretty cool. The last day of his lessons the pro will take him out on the course! Can't wait to see how that goes!
Nice swing!
Phew! That was hard work! He got a blister! :(
