Fun Fun, In The Summer Sun ...

This must have been the most boring day of my summer vacay ...

Avery's friend Harper came to visit?!?!?
Luckily, I got some fun out of it by photo bombing them!!

Here is Avery at a movie with her friend, Chiara.  
I'm not sure why Mommy wouldn't let me go ... 
 my favorite letters are R, B and G too!!!

Enough of Avery's fun.

When Avery's not home, this house is my turf. 

Now I can rock out...

...Emery style.

"Drop the mic, yo!!"

Sometimes I like to really goof around.

Like today I wore googly eyes (above my eyes) to the grocery store ...
people really got a kick out of that!!!

On our first day of art camp (at the Museum of Art), I wore a beret

 with a serious Frida Kahlo expression and gave the teachers a good laugh.

Then at summer camp, Avery dressed up and 
put on a play with some of her friends.

Meanwhile, I'm playing doge ball ... and winning hard!!!!

In my free time, I cannon balled right into our cold pool ... parrr-ty!!

While I was waiting for my turn to play tennis,
 I gave Daddy a makeover!!  Isn't he handsome??

Finally, it's my turn.

Aren't I good??

(I crossed that out because well, we all know the answer!) 

This is me showing off how good I am at riding horses, 
or at least better than Avery!!

Wait!

Why is Mommy only holding on to me and not Avery?!?!?!!!

NOT FAIR!!!

OK...

... maybe there is a reason.

Once we got home we discovered that Stella made good use of her time.

And, of course, Owlie greeted us with a big "Welcome Home"

 death-stare!!

 Doing all of this really tuckers Daddy out...

 ...which gives us an excuse to watch whatever we want with our big dog, Scout!!

Every summer break ends with climbing a huge, old tree!!!

Happy Daddy's Day!!!

For Daddy's Day, Daddy took us on a hike to Sabino Canyon. 

 He says were hiking but I think he's trying to torture us,

 we've already walked 2.5 miles!!!!

So instead, to make up for torturing me, he took me on a roller coaster!!!

{I don't know if you can tell, but that made me really happy}

Then I had the greatest idea ever ...

let's have a photo shoot!!!!!

Then he farted {LOUDLY} ... super gross!!!!

He said that was his "MANLY ODOR" ... how outrageous!!!

And then I remembered why we were doing all of this anyway ...

HAPPY DADDY'S DAY, Daddy!!!!

Happy "06" to Tooter!!!!

Happy Birthday to eMEry!!!!

Emery getting some love at school on 

her actual birthday day ...

... followed by an outdoor cookout ...

... and even birthday cupcakes!!!

Then on the weekend was Emery's big birthday bash ...

... we went swimming with friends (like Savannah) ...

... jumped around in a huge jumpy house ...

... had fun on a huge jumpy slide ...

"Look out below!!!" 

Then best of all was a Grandma Wendy humongous cake ...

... with something special inside ... can you guess what??? 

Skittles, with love from Grandma!!!

Everyone loved the cake a lot!!!

It was the best time with all my BFFs ...

... "lame sucks yo, in your face" {best time ever}!!!

Happy Momma's Day!!!

 Mommy had the best Mother's Day ever ... 

she spent it with all of her babies!!!

 We even were all able to go out for a ride together ...

... Avery was on Tracy's Theo and I got to ride Marcy's Mimi 

... Marcy even helped keep Mimi in line!

What a super fun Mother's Day ...

... ending with a quick "6 foot" bath ...

 ... and a few notes on the bed ...

... and then some relaxing on the couch!!!

Happy Mother's Day, Mommy!!!

Happy Double Digits, Avery!!!!

This is my big sissy, Avery, with Mimi, a horse

 who was also born on April 30, 2008!!

{honestly I'm getting a little jealous 

because I ride Mimi, not Avery!!!}

I think this was the part when they sang "Happy Birthday"

{I dunno, I was busy playing my new My Little Pony game}

The main thing I like about Avery's birthday is ...

that my birthday is only a few weeks away!!!!

Finally, present opening time!!!!

{the part I actually like about other people's birthdays}

Here is Avery with all her close friends 

{and her great little sister} at Ace Of Escape

 before going into our ESCAPE ROOM!!!

Here we are after escaping our cat puzzle of a room 

with only 1:29 mins still on the clock ... we won!!!!

Then off to the Hub to eat dinner and ICE CREAM!!!!!

{That was really my favorite part of the day!!!}

Avery took these pictures with her birthday present 

from Mommy and Daddy ...

A FILM CAMERA!!??!??!!

{I'm just sad I'm only in one picture!!}

Happy Birthday Big Sister!!!
