We went from a full size to a king size bed. Wow, what a difference! Of course we still need to get a few things, including a new foot board. Ours came damaged, they delivered it how it was and ordered us a new one. Once the new one comes in, they'll deliver and switch it out. We still need king size pillows and a king size quilt. I want to stay with the Americana theme in our room, but haven't been successful in finding a quilt to match.
Because we were buying a new bed, we bought the dressers and end tables to match. I'm planning on having this furniture for a long time!
Look at that smile! He was watching the sharks.
I love how he stood up on the stroller to get a better look at the horse!
Checking out the water!
Abigail crashed just before the "Believe" show with Shamu. She ended up waking up just in time for the show.
Abigail in the kids water area. We got the biggest chuckle out of the kid wearing a speedo in the picture!
Austin riding the whale slide. Austin wanted to wear the life jacket...in the 2 foot pool!
I talked Austin into riding the Shamu Express (a roller coaster for kids) and the ride pictured below. I really hope Abigail is going to be a roller coaster rider, Austin wasn't too thrilled about the rides and I'll need a partner for Cedar Point!
It was a very hot and tiring day, but we had a great time!
And of course, Happy Father's Day to my Dad and my father-in-law Bill. We couldn't have asked for two better men to be our father's and Grandpa's for our children!
Abigail got a pink donut with sprinkles. Guess what she ate first?
I ended up convincing Austin that he should eat the other part of his donut too!
Abigail was having a blast with me taking her picture
After our donuts we ran to a couple stores and to the grocery store. Upon our arrival at home, we found a package from Grandma & Grandpa Richards in the mail. Austin's modeling his new glasses that came with the 3D chalk Grandma & Grandpa sent him.
While we were at Kohl's Austin got a new bathing suit. A set of goggles, ear plugs and a nose plug came along with the suit. Of course he had to try everything out when we got home. He changed right into his suit while I was filling up the pool. He's been asking for a pair of goggles so he could dive for the last couple of weeks.
Abigail even got in the pool. I really didn't want to get in so I put her in with the floaty. She couldn't really float, but at least she could walk around and if she slipped, the floaty would catch her.
They were having a blast!
Then Daddy got home from work. After eating a quick sandwich, he was in the pool!
I blew up almost every single one of our pool toys.
Who can resist photographing a naked baby butt?
Swimming exhausted everyone. Daddy blew up the air mattress so he could lay on it and watch tv and the kids enjoyed a lunchable!
Remember when she went to the doctor last month? The doctor was little concerned because her weight wasn't exactly where it should be. She was starting to make a downward curve on the growth chart. She wasn't even on the growth chart for her weight at her age. 
We're getting to my favorite age. I love it when our kids are finally able to really start interacting with us. She's learning to point to her eyes, nose and mouth. And, she's really starting to chatter. Some of her favorites are, "Da" (Daddy), "Au" or "Aus" (Austin), "STOP" (I think that's her favorite), "Eyes" and of course "Hey" when she wants to get our attention. There's also an occasional "Asses" in there, but what she's really saying is "Ashes, ashes we all fall down." Sometimes it's hard not to giggle when she sings about asses and turns around in a circle! (I love this expression!)
Bed head! Her hair is finally getting long enough to do something with. I've really gotten into making bows for her hair. Once I got the hang of it I can't stop. She needs a little more hair in the front, then I'll be really happy. You can't really tell in this picture, but her hair gets curly in the back and when I put a pony tail in her hair. It's so cute! My blond curly hair baby with blue eyes, just what I always wanted!
And I'll give you one guess as to who she's smiling at like that... 
Her Daddy! He had just come home from work. She couldn't get off that chair fast enough to get over and see him. She's going to be such a Daddy's girl!
They actually got along...for a minute.
Abigail wants to be able to drive his tractor, and he wants her to have nothing to do with it.
