Out Of The Loop!

I feel so out of the loop with my blogging! I need to apologize to all my loyal followers for not posting in such a long while. We have had a fun, but busy July. To start the month off we had Jeff's birthday, with all those who were able to come surprise and celebrate with us. It was nice to also have Grammy and Papa stay for a few days after to play with the girls and give me a little bit of a break. Their 4 dogs alone kept Rilyn entertained for the week! Next, my parents and Grandma came into town for my Mom's birthday. I will definitely post picture from that week once my mom uploads and sends them to me. Next, we had Jeff's Uncle Tim and his family come visit for a night. I have to say, they made one of the best margaritas I have ever had, YUM! Last night we had our friends the Snyder's over for dinner, they are in town while Brad rehabs. Again, I always welcome any adult conversation and company, considering Jeff is gone every night. I don't think Rilyn fell asleep until after 11pm, she could not stop trying to lure their dog Sophie into bed with her.
Here is Rilyn with Sophie, I felt like I was trying to get a picture of my girls. It was almost impossible to get them to both look at the same time :)

Here is Rilyn with one of Grammy's doggies, Zoe. Again, Zoe and the rest of the doggie clan were very patient with Rilyn, letting her carry them around everywhere.
Thought I would post these just for the heck of it. Every since Emerson has become mobile our house looks like a tornado has passed through it everyday. I guess this is what you call life with two kids!

Who needs a nightstand anyways?? There is always a "parade" that leads from the living room straight through our bedroom. Believe me, I do like a clean and organized house, but this is one battle I have lost to my kids. Oh well, like they say, it won't last long and there will come a day when I miss having parades of toys throughout my house.
