Lily's Take

Lily has been super interested in taking pictures lately. It's kinda cute to see her lugging our big camera around the house. These are just a few of the pictures she captured. I love seeing her little mind work at figuring something out. It's amazing watching her grow. 

I think she captured a typical day pretty well. ha

Have a great weekend!

Another couple weeks of Insta pictures. You can follow me at @jennypowellfell. 

Have you guys seen this movie? You know Steve Martin's youngest son Justin, well Avery is totally that kid. He is just in his own world, and I think Avery resides their with him. She was doing this at like 6:30 in the morning. So funny and random. I love this girl. 

Lily spent some time at Grammy's and this is the pic I got. Just hanging out with her babies. 

The girls have been doing some painting lately. They painted on paper and then started painting themselves. While it was awfully cute, it was very messy. Nothing the little pool in the yard couldn't fix. 

See what I mean ya'll. She is so funny. 

Like a lot of the country we had a little bit of a heat wave last week. We watched a lot of movies and played inside. We have had cooler weather this week and have been enjoying outside. 

I had ordered Lily a Tinkerbell bed tent for her birthday (which is already broken so don't bother) and this was us testing it out. 

My friend Anthony sent Lily some birthday cookies and some treats for Avery. 

Ave's favorite cartoon is Team Umizoomi. So I was pumped to find this Millie shirt at Old Navy a while back. She is obsessed with that show and requests it any time we watch tv. 

Grammy and Pop Pop got Lily this new dancing outfit and dance lessons for her birthday. I think they start in August. She seems excited so hopefully they will be fun for her. 

We had some friends in town this past weekend and went down to the river to watch the rafters come in. The kids were super cute and loved putting their toes in the water. 

Then Lily filled her pockets with rocks until her pants were barely staying up. Kids are weird. 

 Our sweet neighbor got Lil a slip and slide for her birthday and the kids really enjoyed busting it out after most of the guests had left. 

My sis took this picture and I just love it. These girls I tell ya. 

So I talked a little bit about how grown up Lily has been acting the past couple of days. She has been able to put her clothes on by herself for a while but she has never been able to do buttons. Until a couple of nights ago. Big girl status. She is just amazing me lately. 

See what I mean? When did she turn 13? She named that second little lizard on that lip gloss Sarah. After Aunt Sarah I presume. We then proceeded to become super heroes and our makeup gave us powers. I love her imagination. 

So we are doing this. 

And it's hard. She is a stubborn one but wants to use the potty so we are going with it. 

Doesn't everyone potty in the kitchen?

And one more of my wild girls after dinner last night. Daddy is so fun, right?

Being able to capture pictures on my phone is so awesome. It is right at my finger tips most of the time. Instagram is my number one social media choice right now. I love how you can post to Facebook and Twitter.

I love this girl and her ability to turn on  her cheese face at any moment. She totally likes taking pictures right now and I am a-okay with that. 

This one is so big. I can't get over her big girl status. It is only gonna get worse! 

Our first week of summer break was a success. Park trips and ice cream are super fun for little girls, right?

We  also walked down to our local rail trail expo and the girls hitched a ride in their wagon. They have the life. It was super duper hot this day but it was nothing a little lemonade couldn't fix. 

The pool doesn't hurt either. 

So it is only the beginning of June and Miss Avery Grace is already sporting a tan. Granted anyone has a tan against my sis's paleness. It is crazy how Lily is fair skinned and Avery has darker skin like me. 

I enjoyed a mini blizzard a couple days ago as a Mommy reward. Yum. 

There is nothing I love more than these three. 

I am really enjoying summer break and not having to be on a schedule and be anywhere at a certain time. We have been enjoying watching cartoons in the morning in bed, playing outside and staying up past our bedtime. 

I planted some pretty succulents this week. Hopefully I can keep them alive. I don't have the greenest thumb. 

Ya'll I am trying really hard to get back into the exercise thing. I joined Gym Pact and completed my workouts for this week. Hopefully I can keep it up. I have been riding my bike mostly but have done some running. 

Just my little pirate rocking her eye patch like a champ.
