June

Alexis' 6 month pictures taken by yours truly.














Ella's 4 1/2 year old pictures, again taken by yours truly.













We had a wonderful 1st weekend in June. Charles plays golf weekly with some guys from our church, St. Pius X. Every year, our Holy Name Society has a golf outing to raise money. This year, Charles' brother Clark, brother in law Don, and Clark's friend Les played in the tournament. Les was a last minute add after Charles' other brother, Bobby, broke his hand at work (Darn it!). So we had a house full of guests - just what we love - and a whole lot of fun. Golf tournament on Friday for the boys - shopping for Brenda & I. Principal Charity Classic on Saturday with everyone, including Brittany & Brad - ICubs game Saturday evening - breakfast and check out on Sunday morning. One of the best weekends we have had in a very long time and soooo much fun! As Bobby & Lori were checking out, Penny though she'd go along.... she jumped in the front seat of their car.

















Bobby & Lexi on Sunday morning.











Lexi & her best buddy Penny. She looks really white in the picture - not quite that pale in real life.












Brenda & Ella making iron bead creations.












Happy Father's Day Charles! I got the girls new shirts that say, "I love my Dad".











Daddy & his girls.













Pretty Lexi

























Grandma Ellen & Ella playing soccer in the front yard.


















Grandma Ellen & Ella before Ella's t-ball game - the Grasshoppers dominated! Ok, maybe not - since they don't keep score.

















Grandpa Roger & Lexi sitting on the driveway.











Grandma Ella feeding Lexi a bottle.

Ella & Daddy opening Father's Day gifts. A homemade picture frame from Lowe's that Ella made. New cufflinks & a tie tack from all of us.

Happy 34th Anniversary Mom & Dad!

All of us - minus Charles who took the picture! If there was ever any doubt of how much my Mom & I look alike, the doubt should now be removed.

Lexi's first swimming trip. She absolutely loved it!

More lake fun....

Lexi & Aunt Brenda at Uncle Jamie's 40th birthday party!

Happy baby....








All grins eating cereal =)

Making more creations w/ iron beads.













Yummy! I love my bottle, especially when I can feed myself. Her poor cheeks have been raw like this since just about the time we brought her home from the hospital! Darn dry skin!

Chilling at the lake in her exersaucer.

Some other highlights.....

06/01/10 - Alexis is now rolling over on her side to sleep.

06/07/10 - Ella riding her bike without training wheels
06/12/10 - Lexi is talking up a storm - lots of babbling!

06/13/10 - Alexis is starting to wake up on her tummy.

Alexis has stopped nursing twice at night after daycare. I'm guessing it's because she's eating baby food and isn't as hungry. So she's nursing in the morning, taking 3 bottles at daycare, and nursing at night before bed. Then cereal for breakfast, or closer to a morning snack and baby food for dinner. She started with sweet potatoes, then squash, then carrots.
