Our computer has"corrupt hardware" according to geek squad . This means that we are going to have to get a new one. I cannot upload from phone because I just tried! I am very thankful that I have my pictures on the blog and snappish! I would have been very upset if I had lost my pictures.

Updates on the girls lately:

Mary Varner started her ballet class and is really enjoying it! I do not know if we will continue in the fall because she is also asking about gymnastics classes. I told her that we cannot do both!! She is getting ready to start preschool in a couple of weeks and ask me at least twice a week when school is going to start. She is sooo excited!!

Janey is talking more and more!! Some of her favorite words are ba(ball), burr (bear), hot, hey, and she always shouts a-men after we finish the blessing! She climbs on anything she can find and loves to unroll the toilet paper roll, and will open dresser drawers and pull out everything in them at least twice a day! She is a very busy little girl!!

4th of July Fun

This 4th of July, we joined some of our friends for a fun night of food, fellowship, and fireworks! We really had a great time and even though it started raining during the last part of the fireworks show, the children had a blast (we just continued in the rain)! By the end of the night, Mary Varner decided that she wanted to do a sparkler all by herself. She ended up doing about 5 all together! I ended up putting Janey in the stroller because I was worried about her picking up and eating the firework residue...at one point I did catch her with one of those smoke bomb balls in her hand!!! Thank goodness she did not object to sitting in her stroller to watch the fireworks. She loved all of it and even clapped at some of them:))

Trying to run from me!!

Party girls

I took this picture when we were on our way to a birthday party for a friend from church! This was Janey's first birthday party invite. What a little social butterfly:) I did not think that she remembered birthday cake since the only time she has had any was on her 1st birthday, but as soon as the cake came out she started saying "pees, pees, pees," over and over until she got a bite of cake and then repeated "Mmmm" over and over with each bite.
