Sunday Afternoon Pizza and Pony Ride

This summer the girls had swimming lessons on sunday mornings. It became a tradition for us to stop at Bellagio's afterwards for a tasty slice of pizza. 

We also like to stop at the Bull Mountain farmer's market on sundays. This week they had free pony rides!

Biff the Clown was also there making balloon creations. The girls loved these heart wands!

Justin took the girls to the Circuit Bouldering Gym this week to try out indoor climbing... they loved it!

Stuff A Friend and Scribbles

This past week was Stuff A Friend Day at the girls' summer camp... Lauren stuffed a bunny and Emily stuffed a bear!

 Lauren chose a glittery LOVE tattoo.

Ever since they were babies, the girls have always loved these inflatable moving balloons... they like to call them "Scribbles". This weekend after swimming lessons we stopped at a local farmer's market and the girls got to see them up close!

Happy 6th Birthday!

Emily and Lauren turned 6 this past week and enjoyed celebrating their special day with family and friends! 

The girls' friend Caden was not able to come to their party, so we met up with him separately for an ice cream date.

In the evening, we had dinner at Benihana!

Our group dining photo. The girls had cake AND ice cream sundaes for dessert!

The next day the girls had a chance to celebrate at MAWS and DD's house with presents...

...and brownies with strawberries and whipped cream!

The girls had been wanting these for the longest time...

An Anna costume for Emily and an Elsa costume for Lauren!

On saturday, the girls had their birthday party at Pump It Up! Here is Lauren going down a slide.
