A few more May pictures...

Here a some more pictures from May...not really enough for separate posts, but thought I'd just throw them up here altogether.

The girls love pushing Julia around in our doll strollers, and she loves it too!  She loves the attention, and loves to play along.  She pretends to drink out of a doll bottle and enjoys being chauffeured all around the house.

 

Gracie got the game "Guess who I am" from Joe & Jenny for Christmas.  We've had lots of fun playing it, and Julia loves to try to play along, but always holds the card backwards.  Here's Julia's version...
 

And here's how it's supposed to look...  It's basically like 20 questions, but reversed.  You hold the card up and ask questions to figure out who you are.  It's a fun game!  (Although mostly, for Gracie, it turns into us giving her hints, since she can't quite come up with the right questions to ask on her own, but we've had lots of fun playing it...Thanks J&J!)

 

Here's the girls all ready for a movie night...they had a fun time together...eating popcorn and watching Bolt!

And here are my 3 sweet girls on Mother's Day.  (I can't believe we didn't take any more pictures than this...)  I happened to bring my camera to church that day.  The girls had colored flower pots for me for mother's day and then all 3 sat down together on this bench in the hallway.  It was a picture perfect moment!  Glad I had the camera!!

Some outdoor fun...

We got some new bikes (& a bike trailer), so we've been enjoying taking those out for rides on the trails near our house (there are lots of them around us...)  We've just been going on short rides so far (around 2 or 3 miles).  It had been about 10 or 12 years since either of us had ridden, so it's been fun to be getting back used to riding and switching gears and all of that.  Julia's been riding some in the bike seat on my bike and some in the trailer with Gracie.  (A couple times, she's climbed right up into the bike seat all on her own...she's a little monkey!)  Chloe has been doing really well riding.  She's been riding her own bike and has enjoyed it immensely.  It's been a fun family activity for us!!

 

We've been out walking the trails some too.  Here are pictures from a weekday when Gracie, Julia, & I went out on a trail to the dam at the lake near us.  Gracie & Julia had a great time running around and throwing rocks in the lake before we headed back down the trail.
 
 

You can see Julia started out on the edge, but progressively got more and more into the water.  
 
 
 

I couldn't believe she got this far into the water.  It was COLD!!  It was only in the 60s outside (& had been down around freezing for a few nights before this), but she didn't seem to mind the cold water.  She was having a blast finding rocks to pick up and throw.  (Thankfully, I had spare clothes with us...otherwise she'd have been miserable on the way back to the car)
