The girls watching cartoons in my bed while I got ready.  Keaton and I met a couple of my girlfriends for breakfast this morning.

Ellary couldn't stand it anymore, she had to get her hands on Keaton.

No we didn't get a new car...  Adam picked this one up for someone this morning.  He couldn't help himself so he took the girls out for a joy ride.

I was at my bridal shower in San Diego, California.  My Aunts, cousins and friends did a beautiful job!

On this day in 2005...

We were celebrating my cousin A.J.'s 30th birthday.  Happy Birthday A.J.!!  This is A.J. and his wife Bree.

Myself and my cousin Lynnette (A.J.'s sister).

Here are a couple of shots Ellary took this morning while I was making breakfast.

Shila at the computer.

Keaton fast asleep in the swing.

Nellie, Ellary, Lila and Shila at Steak & Shake for lunch.

It was an incredibly hot day today so we met our friends at an indoor playground.  The girls have been bugging me to go again after the other day at Catch Air.

We had to fight them the entire time to stay off the games and play with the equipment instead.  Of course my somehow charmed daughter Ellary kept coming up with coins and tickets which only instigated them further.

There is something just not right with this picture... especially the animal rights vegetarian in the background with her gun pointed at an elk hunting game.  This looks like a TLC show in the making... Girls and Guns.

Bedtime.

I look at Keaton now and think I can't believe we were swaddling Shila at 2 1/2 months old.  Ellary and Keaton hated being swaddled, Shila loved it.

Ellary and Shila.  You can really see how much they resemble each other in this picture.

We said good bye to Grandma and Grandpa this morning.  We had such as great visit and were sad to see them go.  After the girls and I dropped them off at the airport we spent the rest of the day hanging out at home.

Grandma and the girls.

Shila and Keaton both had doctor's appointments today.  They are both healthy and growing in leaps and bounds.  We FINALLY got our dishwasher repaired!! It was a happy day.  ;o)  And, Grandpa and Grandma initiated more home improvement projects.  We have had a great visit, but I am sure Adam is ready for them to leave so he can stop working on the house.  Ha ha.  Just kidding.  We are so thankful to have them here, both visiting and helping.  It's been great!!!

Rise and shine!  Keaton is always full of smiles first thing in the morning.

One of today's project was to fix some peeling paint along the top of the wall.

 Shila and Keaton

Ellary is mad because she wants to hold Keaton in the picture.

Shila is mad because she wants to hold Keaton in the picture.

Keaton is mad because they are fighting over who gets to hold her in the picture.

This is as good as the picture got.  Maybe next time.

We had a fun filled day today at the North Georgia Premium Outlet Mall and Catch Air.

We were still at the Oregon Coast.  These pictures were at Haystack Rock in Cannon Beach.

On this day in 2010...

I find it pretty funny that last year on this same day we were also at an indoor playground, especially considering we have only been to these places a hand full of times.

At Monkey Joe's.
