Isabella

Alessandra and Isabella love standing on this table. When Isabella is up here, she will use it as a stage for her 'singing' (I think that is what she is trying to do). Occasionally she will share her stage with her sister.

Let's go to the beach!!!!!

We went to the beach for the day on Saturday. We all had lots of fun. The girls just enjoy the ocean so much. They are not afraid of the water at all. Their heads even went under the water a few times and it did not bother them. It was great to get a family picture at the beach. The sun did not come out all day, but we all got some sun on our arms. The girls were watching some older girls play with boogie boards and desperately wanted to try. The girls left our girls borrow them and Alessandra was actually riding one with Daddy's help. She had lots of fun on it. Isabella could not balance herself on one. So, when we left the beach, the girls fell asleep in the van and I went into a store and got them each a boogie board. One looks like Nemo and the other looks like Lovelace from Happy Feet. We did not use them yet, but the next time we go to the beach, we will have more toys to take along. This was probably the best time we had...neither girls whined on the beach and it was lots of fun. The only part Billy did not like was having to drive home. He really wanted to stay the night. I think we will go again in 2 weeks when we can use that beach house that we used back in April. We couldn't use it this time because it was already being used. We also purchased 2 umbrellas really cheap so when we go again, we have shade from the sun. Soon, it won't be an easy trip with all the stuff to pack! Do you know, the girls actually slept in the next morning too...now, these girls never slept in before so it was great to get up at 9 am instead of 6:30 am!!!!

It's hard to get Isabella to stop and look at the camera. She is always moving.

Alessandra was posing for the camera. With the humidity at the beach, her hair got so curly. I don't think I have ever seen her hair have locks all over, but it was really pretty.

Daddy and his babies

Alessandra enjoyed just sitting and taking her hands through the went sand.

Isabella enjoying the water!

Alessandra wanted to get buried in the sand. She saw some other girls burring each other and wanted to do the same thing too.

Alessandra giving Isabella a ride

Alessandra is giving Isabella a ride. It is nice they are finally playing nicely together instead of hitting, kicking, or pushing each other.

Tired Girls

This morning we went outside and they were playing in the pool for a few hours. They also helped me to wash the van. I think they got more soap on themselves then the van! So, you would think they took a great nap today, right? Wrong!!!!! They each slept for less then 1 hour. Oh talk about miserable children. All they have been doing, besides whining, is picking on each other, hitting each other, being mean in all aspects to each other. Billy is working late tonight, so they both might be in bed before he gets home. Where do they get this energy??? I wish I had some more!!!!

VBS Pictures

The girls went to VBS at our church in June. They had lots of fun.
