And I know there's no one out there who is still reading my blog though - but if you are: bless you. This one's for you!
April went by fast, we had a great Easter, and Annie just grew bigger and bigger. Well, technically, not THAT big, because she's still pretty tiny, but she's definitely developing so fast! The boys are crazy about her and can't get enough of her. Lately, they've taken to carrying her around the house - 
We kicked off May with a trip to Wisconsin Dells with some friends. It's the Waterpark capital of the world (or something like that anyway), and it was a total blast. We rented a 3-bedroom condo, and that is the way to do it. Just check out that bathtub. Enough said. We're gonna make it annual I think. 
The upper left pic was when Annie's hair was still pretty freakin' ridiculous. It's funny to look at now - because it's actually gotten pretty tame, albeit slightly less fully than before, but more manageable - so I'll take it. And Annie got prettier each day of May, (especially when the baby acne cleared b/c it lasted like, 7 weeks; ugh), and started to roll over, (freakishly early, I know,) and really become interactive. 
In June, we bless Annie at our home. Doug's parents were able to drop by before they went on their mission in Connecticut - so we took the opportunity. It was really special, and I'm glad we got to do it that way. We invited a few families over, and had Rootbeer floats after.
The boys had their first campout with Doug and had a ball. And we also spend much of the beginning of June with some good friends who moved in the middle of the month. We miss the Israelsens a ton! But here are some pics of our Memorial day shenanigans with them and the Scows. We also revamped the basement bathroom in early June (below). Looks fab! Thanks Carrie! And techically, this is the REAL BEFORE shot. We took this before we moved in. The one I have labeled BEFORE in the collage is technically "IN PROGRESS" I just barely realized that, and now I'm just too lazy to change the collage.
Also from June are Father's Day pics, and Annie's first time in a bathing suit and in the pool. She liked it - but I actually let her get a sunburn on her cheeks that day because I forgot a hat, and I SWEAR I only let her be in the pool without it for pictures - no more than 5 minutes. Baby skin - so tender. I felt like a horrible mother for sure.And honestly, that's all I can muster for the evening. So let's say this is PART ONE - Summer Catch up! (or half yearly) To Be Continued...
And PS - why this is making my captions hyperlinks - I'll never know. Sorry.
