Fishers Freedom Festival 2015....

Again with another late post, but I still want to document......  Back on June 28th we attended the annual Fishers Freedom festival complete with fireworks at the end.  This is the first year we have let the girls stay up to watch them.  Being in Indiana and on Eastern time, it does not get dark until after 9:30.  The fireworks didn't start until well after 10:00.  They can't wait to do it again next year!!!

This is the look I got when I asked Alexis to give me a "mean face".

Dinner in a trolley.....

This post is slightly over due but I just saw the photo on my phone and I wanted to document it.  Back on July 3rd we made an impromptu visit to the zoo.  Rather than eating there, we decided to do something different.  I did a quick location search on my phone and we decided on the Old Spaghetti Factory.  The girls were pretty excited to sit inside Wally the Trolley.

Selfie Sunday.....

I love it when I go through my phone and find pictures that the girls have randomly taken of themselves.  These are Addison's most recent selfies....

Movie Day with my Gals.....

Two weeks ago the girls and I took in an afternoon movie on a rainy Saturday.  This is how we roll at the theatre......

Yes we take blankets and pillows to the theatre!  Our movie theatre was recently remodeled with the most comfortable recliner/couch like chairs.  And yes, I'm the mom who brings Ziploc bags to split up the $9.00 bucket of popcorn between us.  Don't judge!!  :-)

Busy....

It's been a busy summer thus far.... hence the lack of blog posts.  We've been busy with summer camp, library reading programs, movies in the park, swim lessons and so much more.  Hope to catch up on this little 'ol blog soon!  For now I leave you with a photo of my two little swimming princesses!   

Strawberry picking 2015....

One of my favorite family traditions has to be strawberry picking.  We've been doing this since the girls were three.  We all love it.  This year was no exception.  Saturday (June 6th, 2015) we made our annual trip out to Spencer Farms for berries.  Here are a few photos....

And just like every other year..... Addison definitely ate more than she picked.  I've learned over the years to put the girls in either old clothing or pink shirts, due to the berry juice.

Alexis also ate her share, but she was very helpful in the picking process. 

Processing the berries into jam is becoming a lot easier with two girlies who love to help.  They each helped me stir up a batch of jam, make a strawberry ice cream cake, and freeze several bowls of strawberries.

Our finished jam.  7 1/2 large jars, 2 small jars and one weird shaped jar.  Should last us most of the year!!!

FIRST DAY OF KINDERGARTEN VS. LAST DAY OF KINDERGARTEN.....

Can't believe today is the last day of kindergarten for my little gals!  Where has the time gone??

First day pictures on the left....Last day on the right.

School Play.....

Last week Alexis' kindergarten class did their own adaptation of The Very Hungry Caterpillar.  My little peanut played the role of the Moon.  You can see her twice during the play.....once in the very beginning and once around 3:34.  Enjoy!!

For some reason I can't get the video to embed into this post so here is the link:

The kiddos made and designed the sets by themselves.

Taking a bow!

TKO...

Addison may be the tiny one, but she's mean and fierce.  She definitely can hold her own in the ring!

Hat Day....

Kindergarten Hat Day 2015!!

Can you guess where we are??

Happy Mother's Day!!!!

Happy "late" Mother's Day to all the Moms out there.  I'm pretty lucky that these two crazies call me Mommy!!

Build a Bear....

We had to make an impromptu trip to Sears last weekend for a new stove.  The girls were being so good that I decided to reward them with agreeing to their request to build a bear.  They had a great time.  I was actually surprised that the girls didn't b-line to all the frozen items.  Alexis did get the frozen bear but opted for different accessories.  Addison had decided early on that she wanted something rainbow-colored.
