Angie's Doggy and Karl's Birthday

   This last weekend we had fun visiting family.  Once again we went to Adam and Angie's house to visit them and their puppy Seve.  The girls are still really cautious around him, but it's obvious that they love him.  Once Seve is past the teething stage, and learns to play fetch he is going to have two enthusiastic ball throwers.  Harper especially seems enamored of Seve.  She calls him Angie's doggy, and every day since we visited Seve on Saturday she has go on and on at some point in the day about going in the car to see Angie's doggy. Sunday she was so emphatic about it she was nearly in tears.  That girl is hilarious.

    Also Saturday we celebrated Karl's birthday by going out to dinner and then getting some ice cream cones at the mall afterwards.  The girls were in a really good mood, possibly from all the fun they had at Adam and Angie's, and had a great time seeing Tyler.  They really enjoyed their ice cream cones too.  It was the first time that they ever had one actually.  

Harper and Seve

Avery was trying to let Seve smell the flower she picked.  

Some good old fashioned backyard fun.  The girls spent a lot of time poking trees with sticks.

Harper really wanted to Daryl to hold her, and she was really happy when he started to poke the tree with a stick too.

Harper insisted on holding and eating the ice cream cone herself much to my dismay.  She got chocolate everywhere, but only a little on me.  

They all did a lot of hugging.  They enjoyed it immensely.  I love how happy Tyler and Avery look to be with each other.
