Poor Buddy has been tormented by Syd a lot lately.  She gets so excited when he comes in from the garage...which is probably why he's wanting to come in less and less.  She's a tad rough.

She gets in the strangest positions to pet him.

Wednesday, we met some friends at Boingo Bounce to celebrate Millie pooping in the potty!!  She's been doing such a great job and definitely deserved a prize.  We even got to go to lunch with the girls afterward, and Millie loved every second.

Mills is going through a no-napping phase, even though she still really needs one (picture mommy pulling her hair out!).  So after her big day at Boingo Bounce and then no nap, she couldn't help but snooze on the way to the Tontitown Grape Festival that evening.

We got to see Elle twice in one day!  She and Mills had the best time riding all of the kiddie rides.  Millie loved the cars, Elle loved the carousel.  

It was hot.

Millie was very brave to go on this ride that went high up into the air!  She was a bit timid since it was a bumblebee and she doesn't like flying bugs (remember the wassuses?!).

She loved it and had to ride it twice...

We finished the evening with some grape ice cream and exhausted kiddos.  Such a fun night!  Next year will be great when Syd gets to ride the rides too.

Thursday, this girl turned 35!  Three weeks old here and I think this looks a lot like baby Millie. :)

Glamour shots.  The Summer before 8th grade.  Everybody was doing it.

On my birthday, we decided to go out to lunch.  The day was quickly turning into a train wreck.  First thing that morning, Syd tripped in the kitchen and face planted into the cabinets (massive bloody nose and gums).  By the time lunch rolled around, I guess the Tylenol had worn off because she had the biggest meltdown and we ended up getting our food to go.  Millie peed in the car seat, and then decided to not nap.  She was pretty much terrible that day, and I'm guessing 3 is going to be a hard age for mommy to deal with.  It really wasn't a good day and I was counting down the minutes to their bedtime.  After they were in bed, things got better...I got to talk to my brother and have some champagne outside with JKK.  Sorry girls...sometimes the best part of the day happens after you're in bed. ;)

Last night, we went to a birthday party for one of Millie's friends.  It was a pool party, and Millie stayed in the pool the entire time.  She had a blast...the blue cupcake was a nice finish.

I didn't bring Syd's swim stuff because I thought she wouldn't want to get in the pool.  I was wrong.  Couldn't keep her away from it, so the guests got a real treat when I had to strip her down.  Girl, look at that body...
