July 4th , 2008

The girls and I went to Princeton and visited with family. We had a lot of fun. Uncle Brian, Aunt Wendy, Ethan and Emma were there too. They are getting so big. I would love to share some pictures with you but I committed the biggest sin ever :) , I forgot my camera. We had a birthday party for Ethan at Grandma/pa's Helmers house. We went to Holiday World. The kids absolutely love going here. Poppy too! They got to ride the rollercoaster by themselves. They thought they were hot stuff. The love the wave pool like they always do. We went to go watch the most boring Disney movie ever, Wall E. Don't waste your time. The girls got to see their Grandpa Sims and eat ice cream with him. They enjoy getting to see him. We visited some of our aunt and uncles and had a nice time. The girls of course miss their Gamma and Poppy already.

Weekend with Ryne and Alexis

Ryne and Alexis came to our house for a weekend and we had a lot of fun. We went to McDonald playhouse, Splash park, ice cream and t-ball game (in the rain). Ryne and Alexis were very well behaved and we even had to little girls crying when they had to tell them bye. The pictures are them playing in the park in Osceola.

Breawna and Makayla's Dance camp

Yeah, Makayla can finally do a camp. They went to dance camp at the YMCA. They had a performance. It was cute. I couldn't get them t0gether so I do a lot of back in forth on the video sorry. They all really enjoyed the camp. Makayla wasn't so sure about mommy leaving her a couple of the days but she finally loosened up and had fun. They did a great job and mommy was proud of them.

Strawberry Festival 2008

We went to Crawfordsville for the Strawberry Festival. We had a lot of fun. The girls of course loved seeing their family. They loved playing on the bounce houses and mazes. There was a very unique Elvis impersonator. We also saw Aunt Sheri and Uncle Steve while we were down. It was nice to have them visit. We also enjoy the festival and the food of course.

Breawna's first T-ball game

Breawna seems to enjoy t-ball. We think she might enjoy the boys a little more. We keep catching her talking to them in the field and asking them how old they are. She loves to spin in the field and put her glove over her face. I will say she loves to be at bat and running the bases. She doesn't not like to be in the field. We were very proud of her though. You will see on the video that the team jersey were not in yet but they are a very bright orange team, Cook Heating and Cooling.

Makayla 1st T-ball game

Makayla played hard even though she had a broken arm. She was very into the getting the ball and of course getting to hit it. She had fun.

Gymnastic Camp

Breawna did gymnastic camp in early june. She really enjoyed it. Swimming at the end was her favorite. They did a little danced performance on friday for the parents. Makayls still had her cast on so her and daddy just watched. Yes Breawna is supposed to be holding her arms straight up like a gymnast, but I quess she thinks she is royalty.
