Summertime in Ohio...

Okay...it's been a fun and exciting couple of weeks here.  Lot's to do here in Ohio...and we've done our best to get out and see it [or some of it].  The weather is perfect and the area is beautiful here...enjoy!

 Here are the ladies snuggling...never, ever enough mommie to go around!

 Amelia got her first body 'ink' last week...she thinks she's so hard now that she got a monkey on her guns --- "I've had stitches and a monkey!"

Here she comes...

 Addyson...taking on the rocking horse at the playground.

Who me?

 Concentration at work here...

Sliding rocks down the slides...makes lots of noise for Amelia to observe --- again, note the concentration.

 Addyson..at the other end of the operation watching her sister.

Ever heard of a snow angel?  This is a rock angel...

 Okay...that's enough...I'm coming up.

 Getting ready to head down the the tube of pain...

And there's Amelia...

 Addyson went up...and down she came.

Amelia...getting VERY good at climbing independently --- both a good and bad thing.

"Look mom, I made it!"

Here's Addyson!

 Addyson...hard at work reading.

 A pause in the action...

Nice goggles Amelia...Addyson actually put these on her --- and she allowed it.

"I am such a bad -ss!"   Of course, the back story is...Kim was home with the girls and they started trying things on --- and Amelia "had" to get into the ski pants [ya little blondie!].

 They love each other...

Addyson could teach courses in how to snuggle...she is available for hire.

 More snuggle-age...

 The goggles make a return appearance!

...I must have misplaced all my shirts again --- Addyson looking cute [she does this effortlessly].

Hi there...

 Addyson doing a 'Guitar Hero' impression...or maybe she's jus playing in the backyard.

More action in the backyard on another perfect Ohio afternoon...re: no tornados.

 There goes Amelia...

 Sooooo cute...

Look at that blonde hair...like an angel [with sunglasses].

Coming in for a landing [hug]...

Addyson and Amelia LOVE airplanes...the C-17s and C-5s fly directly over the house on a fairly routine basis --- large, very visible aircraft with lots of noise.  Addyson is starring at a C-17 in teh pattern here...

Amelia...

Amelia now sports horns [not just when she's mad either!]...

Spoons in action...this was a relatively 'peaceful' meal for us --- cheesy rice is always a hit.

The horned creature...with chocolate on her mouth.

 Youngs Jersey Dairy...pretty cool with all the animals and icecream [forget the animals ---> we loved the icecream!]

The corn playpen...jsut keep adding corn, it'll keep the kids calm.

In she goes...

 The gruesome two-some here at work...they went to work alright.

Decisions, decisions...

"Alright folks...here's the plan..."

Go for it!

Hmmm....what's out here?

Addyson...taking a ride on her twactor.

Where's the on button?

Amelia...off to the races.

Here we are on the tractor pull...that's a smirk slowly stretching across her face.

Kim and Addyson were riding behind us...Addyson loved it!

Amelia...

Oh yeah..."Yee-Haw!!!"

Look how long she is...and her body art.



Hope you enjoyed these...more to come later!
