Finally some new pictures!

I finally have been able to get some pictures uploaded for the blog! I know it has been a long time coming! Hopefully i can keep up more regularly now. We have a faster internet connection that will upload more than 2 pics in 25 minutes! So i will try to upload a ton of new pictures over the coming weeks. 1317 pictures uploaded to my computer this afternoon, so there is a lot to wade thru. It's been about 6 months since i last updated and a lot has happened. I guess i will just hit the highlights.
I dont have a time frame on all of the pictures, but will do my best.

Adriana is getting SO big! I can't believe she will be in Kindergarten in the fall. We have a countdown on my phone that tells us how many days until school starts. Adriana can barely wait!

Because there are so many pictures on our camera from Christmas and forward, i dont have the time frames exact. This one was taken a few days before Easter.

This is Delaney and her Nana on May 18th at Adriana's Graduation.

Adriana and Grandma and Grandpa at her Graduation. On Mother's Day Adriana had a big paving stone attack her foot. She ended up in the ER with a broken toe and 8 stitches. It was a harrowing experience for all! She was a very brave girl and did a wonderful job! I will try to upload the pictures from my phone. she was only in the chair for a few days. That was more than she could take! She is doing awesome and doesnt have any problems with it unless it gets stepped on or if she accidentally bangs it on something.

Adriana and her Daddy. Love this picture!

Nana, Adriana, Delaney and Grumpy.

Walking around the reservoir down the street from us.

Do you see "Mischievious" written on her face!?

Adriana is very photogenic!

I loved this picture of Blake! This is Father's Day at Chris' parents' house.

We have been playing in the water a lot this summer! We have been fortunate enough to see Adriana's best friend Ella a lot so far! Luckily her Mom is one of my best friends! This was one day when Chris was watching Ella and the girls wanted to play in the water. They have such a great time together!

Delaney enjoying some watermelon for breakfast. Showing off the few teeth she does have!

We were lucky enough to get up to the cabin a couple of weekends ago. Chris BARELY let me get a picture of him where he wasnt making faces at me!

We did a lot of hiking the day and a half we were there. Both of the girls really loved it and had a good time.

Adriana is in her element here. She really appreciates nature and how beautiful everything is. On the drive up she was commenting on the blue sky and how gorgeous it was. We have had a lot of hazy skies with the fires lately. It was wonderful to see the blue sky again!

The girls taking a break from hiking.

Taking a bath at the cabin. Mohawks are truly the only way to get your hair clean!

Let's see what all else i can type in here for now. Adriana has graduated from pre-k. She had a wonderful time and absolutely loved her teachers and the experience. She is really looking forward to Kindergarten in the fall. She will be attending full day Kindergarten at Loveland Classical Charter School. Her friend Ella will be in class with her and cousin Ryleigh will be in half day there. She is breezing through her workbook this summer and has started reading. She is doing an amazing job and we are so proud of her. She continues to be a great big sister and is very sweet. She loves the summer and is enjoying playing at the parks and friend's houses. We have been ordering uniforms here and there, i think it will be hard for her not to wear these new clothes until fall! Adriana will start swim lessons in August along with a hip hop dance class with Ryleigh. She wants to do swim lessons so badly! Adriana and Chris have worked really hard at planting a garden this year. Adriana was SO thrilled and today she was able to pick some tomatoes! Delaney and I did a Mommy and Me swim class just recently and had a great time! She did so much better than i thought she would. She really blossomed during the class and would always say, "More, More" when we were getting out. She is talking up a storm these days! She says, Oh no! All Wet! I dont know! I walk and many many more! She is a very active little girl, just like her sister. She loves Adriana with all her heart and loves to pick on her just as much as she can get away with. They love to see each other first thing in the morning and give each other a lot of hugs and kisses. Delaney likes to be outside and go for walks. I am sure there is so much more to say. We are really enjoying the girls as they are getting older and a lot more fun. For the most part they get along really well and are sweet, lovey girls. Chris is keeping really busy with work and as always the ongoing projects. He remodeled our kitchen since the last time i blogged and he did a wonderful job of it! I am really proud of all of his hard work around our house. It is awesome! I am keeping busy with chasing the girls and working. We have been doing a Family Fitness Challenge with my family. Couples are competing to see who can get the most workout minutes in a month. Each couple pays in $5 and the winning couple gets the money for something fun! Chris and i won during the month of May! I have started doing the Couch to 5K running app. I am enjoying it, but find that i prefer to run on my treadmill so i can read my Kindle rather than outside. Our fall vacation is coming up quick and we are trying to get in better shape! We have changed a lot of our eating habits and things we eat over the past few months. I have been able to shed 26 pounds and hope to lose more by running regularly. That is all for now! I will try to add more pictures this week.
