Aria always looks like she's got something to say!! We decided she was telling the camera to get it's big lens "outta my face!" These pics were taken on June 15th.

The girls are always wanting snacks at our house, even if they've just had a plate full of spaghetti, green beans (the only vegetable they'll eat), garlic bread and grapes! In an effort to give them only healthy snacks mom has pulled out the chips and salsa. We get baked tortilla chips and a small ramekin of salsa to share between the two of them. Sienna usually eats one or two chips - the same two chips that she dips in the salsa and licks off until she's eaten about half the ramekin or the chip is too soggy to dip anymore!! Meadow just chows down, and it isn't a good chip unless it's got a spoonful of salsa on it!!

(By the way, Meadow was "posing" for all these pictures!)

Again with the something to say face! Meadow was entertaining Aria when these pictures were taken on June 16th (the same day as the salsa and swimming pictures). She seems to think that Aria was telling her about a dream she had about filling her diaper! Leave it to a five year old to come up with something like that!!

With all the sunny weather, most of our days have been spent outside in our little wading pool. The girls don't seem to mind that it's only 5' in diameter. They play monster and storm and firefighter and all kinds of made-up games when they are in the backyard. It gives them something to do while mommy is trying to tackle the patio project she undertook!

And here is little Miss "Thang" with her new, automatic Diego and Dora toothbrush. I don't think a 2 year old has ever brushed their teeth as well as Sienna does now. Mommy used to be under the impression that automatic toothbrushes were a waste of money, but she has been shown the evidence that says otherwise. Even Meadow does a better job brushing now.
