Nice Outfits!

This is what the girls put on this morning:

I emailed the picture to Carey while he was at work, and he laughed and called them his "little, bad-ass smurfs"!

4th Of July

For the 4th of July we love to go to the "world's shortest parade" (aka the shortest, LONGEST parade) in Aptos. We got there pretty early to secure a spot. The girls got to get "frinkle" donuts, which I think they were more excited about than the parade!
We got a spot! Hooray!

Gotta love "frinkle" donuts!

The girls and a friend ready for the parade to begin (Haley had a blue ring pop.)

After the parade, the kids took naps and then we went to Carey's grandma's house for a swim in the pool and some good ol' American hamburgers and hotdogs!


Thankfully, the kids were all asleep before the fireworks started. I always think I love the 4th of July so much, then, every year it gets to the evening and I am so annoyed with all the firecrackers and such. First of all, I don't think drinking all afternoon and explosives should go together. Second, I am always nervous that one of the illegal fireworks is going to set our house on fire. I was lying in bed thinking, "okay, first we grab the kids, then as many files as we can, the computer, and our wallets." At least now I've got a plan of what to grab in the case of a fire!

Vacation Bible Camp

A couple weeks ago the girls went to Vacation Bible Camp at one of the local churches. They had a great time, although they were EXHAUSTED by the time I picked them up each day. It was the first time they've been separated (I requested that they be in different groups) and we were so proud of how well they did. Abby loved it, of course. Haley loved it the first couple days, then she told me that she missed Abby. They still got to play together outside and see eachother at the chapel times. Oh, and when we were driving there on the first morning I was telling the girls that there might be boys in their groups, just in case they thought it was going to be all girls, and Abby said "Ya, and we DON'T throw trash at boys." What? It kind of made me wonder if somewhere, someone had to tell her that because she did it!

Sporting their VBC shirts and showing me how to be a crocodile!

The theme was called Crocodile Dock, hence the awesome visors!

The Concept of Time

Lately, when the girls are talking about something that happened in the past, they start the story with "A long time ago, when I was younger". The funny thing is, they might be talking about something that happened four months ago, or this morning! It's pretty much any time that is before the present moment! A long time ago, when they were younger!

Chewing Cheerios!

Tradition

It is a Webber family tradition to have strawberry shortcake for dinner on the first day of summer. For those of you that are worried about how we feed our children...don't worry; we used yogurt instead of whipped cream and banana bread instead of cake! Anyway, it's a tradition that Carey and I look forward to from the time fresh local strawberries start showing up in the grocery stores. Probably by next year the girls will know enough to look forward to it also! It was a BEAUTIFUL evening to eat out on the patio, too!

Happy Father's Day!
