Big Girl Bed!
A while back we converted Livi's crib to a toddler bed. She was having a hard time falling asleep at night and she wanted us to sit with her. She did stay in her bed all night once she was asleep. Just getting her to sleep was the problem. Well we really couldn't sit on the toddler bed with her, so we decided to go for a REAL big girl bed. We took her to pick out her new sheets. She picked princesses, of course. Then to pick up her bed. We came home and she helped James take apart her crib, or her "pibby" as she called it.
In the morning she woke up and said, " I slept in my beautiful big girl bed all night! I LOVE IT! My daddy made it for me!"
Aww. So far, so good. She stays in it all night, and still loves it. The only downside is that it is REALLY comfortable and I keep falling asleep in it when I lay down with her!
Once that was all done, in went the big girl bed.
She loved it! Once the sheets were on she kept saying, "It's beautiful! It's my beautiful big girl bed!"
I did have to sit with her, and she did ask for her pibby once, but she went to sleep pretty quickly.

Future Models?
Juli's dance teacher asked me if she could use a picture I took of Juli and her friend for the studio's advertising material. We went to register Juli for her fall dance classes and her teacher gave me one of the postcards. I love it!

Sweet Sara
Since my kids are starting to run from me when they see me with my camera, I decided to practice on Sara. She likes when I take her picture. :-)

Happy 4th Birthday Katie!
We went to Katie's 4th birthday party. She had a fun ice cream party! The kids were having such a good time. I didn't get a chance to take many pictures since I was busy chasing them!
Juli was having so much fun she didn't want to leave. She stayed for a sleepover with Katie and they must have been up partying REALLY late since she was pretty cranky the next day! Juli and Katie are all excited because now they are the same age. LOL
Here are a few of the pictures I did get:
Aww, sweet Kyra.
The band getting ready to perform.
Livi & Poppy. She actually smiled and gave him a kiss. I was too slow with the camera though.

Another Day, Another Playground
This time we went with Cici, Katie, Ryan and Maddie, while Daddy stayed behind to help Uncle Joe with some stuff.
This one was a special request from Katie - she wanted me to take her picture while she was "WAY UP HIGH!"
Whoa! Scary hair!
Don't let them fool you, they only look sweet and innocent.

Playtime
We took the girls to a playground we don't usually go to. They had a blast. We will try to get them back to that playground more often. Here are some of the highlights.

Photography by Juli & Livi
The girls love taking pictures. They got a hold of my camera in the yard. I'm not sure which one of them took what, but some are obvious.
Juli's turn to take a picture of Liv and Daddy.
She always takes a picture of her feet. LOL
Livi took Juli's picture.
Then she took a picture of her baby.

Self-portrait. Not bad. ;-)

Piano Men
We went to see Elton John and Billy Joel in concert. It was a fun time! It is a pretty cool experience to see the two play together.
Frank and Donna enjoying the show.
Sir Elton John on the left and Billy Joel on the right.
The talent in this picture is amazing. And this was after Billy Joel fell off of his piano stool. LOL
They closed with "Piano Man." They stopped at the last chorus, stopped the music and the crowd continued to sing. It was pretty awesome to hear 50+ thousand people singing together a capello and in key.
The view from our seats. Yeah, it really was that scary. ;-)

Me and James (obviously, lol).
