Summer Fun

We have been having a great summer so far.....if only the sun would hang around. We are actually doing more exciting activites then just chalk and bubbles.... yeah! Rex is anxiously waiting for a fire... becuase he is a fire fighter, not becuase he is a pyro. We love having him home on his days off! Here is what we have been up too.....

Oh my cute sweet baby, have I mentioned how much I love this baby!! She is amazing and here is her 3 month picture!
My good friend Shauna had the brilliant idea to go to this little farm/market and feed these cute goats! I knew for sure my girls would love it! Oh, and they did. They used up all my quarters feeding those little goats :)
Macey kept feeding the same goat, it was cute.
Brings back memories when I had a goat growing up.... that is another story....dumb goat.
We went to Sweet Home to spend more time with cousins and went to the parade they have there. The girls cashed in on candy and sunshine. They love cousin Taylor, she was so sweet with my girls.
Olivia enjoying the parade from her shaded stroller, lucky baby.
A picture I made them pose for, but they really do love each other. And Annie loves her sunglasses. I love that she wears them on her own....along with her cute hat!
Annie being a goof in the pool, she sat there for hours. I was a good mama and coated her in sunscreen. We love summer!

Fun on the 4th!

We had a great holiday weekend spending time with ALL of Rex's family in Sweet Home. Rex has a great family. I love them all. He has the best siblings that are all really fun, easy to talk to, down to earth and have great families. His parents are amazing. I LOVE them too! They always make us feel right at home and they would do ANYTHING for any of their kids..... I have seen it and they are so loving. I am truly blessed to be part of this family. So, here is what we did.....

Annie holding baby Brad, the newest member of the Basting family. He was blessed on Sunday so we had fun at Seth and Amber's with lots of yummy food! Next,
Rex and I met Troy! He is Rex's sister new baby! He is so stinking cute! With in the last 5 months 3 new babies have arrived.
Well, since so many people were visiting we were lucky enough to be put up in a hotel for the night. The girls loved it! We let them just on the bed as much as they wanted and then the slept like rocks..... :)
Me and Olivia soaking up some sun.....
Annie ridding the scooter. There was so much to do outside. They had swinging, chalk, bubbles, frisbee, bikes ,pool and a slip n'slide. The kids were wiped out by the afternoon!
Annie and Natalie playing in the little pool.
All my cute girls wearing their 4th of July clothes..... I love this holiday. It is so much fun!
Aunt Shana had the great idea of doing all the girls nails in 4th of July colors. So, Annie wanted flags, so I painted flags and she loved them! Love fun traditions like this!

We had a blast and I am so grateful for my life and the freedom that we enjoy!
