Another week has flown by! Summer is just moving right along. I am linking up again here: 

Just some tidbits from our week:

One rainy morning the girls dressed up in their swimming gear and "swam" in the living room. Then Lily decided that high heels were necessary too. 

The girls went with Grammy to a little petting zoo in the parking lot of one of the local grocery stores. I got these super cute pictures while they were there. 

We had some friends come into town last weekend. Saturday we had a cookout and Sunday we woke up and went on a hike in the Gorge. The girls did pretty good and the views and company were great. 

Lily went with my Mom to vacation bible school and couple days this week. She picked out her outfit which she has been doing a lot lately. Tight and a fancy dress that used to belong to me when I was a kid. 

We have had a time with this lady lately. We put the girls in the same room recently. We set up Ave's bed in Lily's room and converted it to a toddler bed. (crib with bed rail) She really wasn't going for that though and it took forever to get her to fall asleep. So we pulled out the twin trundle bed from under Lily's and that is now her new bed. I think Nathan may build a bed frame and we will get a new mattress so we can still have the extra trundle bed when we need it. This picture is a day when she did just about everything but nap until she got tired enough to pass out. 

While sissy was at bible school, I got to spend some quality time with this little cheeser. We had a leisurely bath time then cuddled on the couch until bed time. I love this sweet girl. 

Even though we have been having quite a bit of rain, we have had a couple days that we were able to enjoy dinner outside. 

and then inside for a lunch picnic where they were so sweet with each other. Avery is totally Lily's little shadow and loves doing everything sis does. 

My Mom stops by occasionally on weekdays when she is out in the field for work. She usually can't stay very long but the girls really like it. This day Lily got her covers off her bed and made a place for her and Nana to nap.  

And on Thursday I drove the girls down to Charleston to meet Nathan after class. We had a yummy lunch at Panera and a fun trip to Chuck E Cheese. The girls loved it. Avery ran around to every "ride" and asked for monies. But once they started going she wouldn't ride the whole time. I think she just liked the thrill of putting the money in the little slot. Oh no.........

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.

Another Friday! Hope everyone had a good week. Ours was pretty good until the girls both came down with colds during the last half. They are pitiful and I am tired. We are going to the doctor today to get them checked out. 

I'm linking up my cell phone pictures. You can follow me on Instagram at jennypowellfell. 

Daddy and the girls had some fun at the Children's museum last Friday. 

Ave: 

Lily: 

Super cute Lily ready for school. Love this dress from H&M. It has little foxes all over it. 

Ave had to get in on the action. 

and another of the silly girl. 

Here are couple more pics from when we went hiking on Sunday. The weather was so beautiful. Now we have snow on the ground. Blah. 

I have been doing quite a bit of this lately. I can see some results. I am posting these to keep myself motivated! 

And a picture of one of the sickies after she woke up at 3:30 am. Poor baby. 

And my attempt to get her to eat lunch. Turkey, strawberries and cheetos. I'm pretty sure she just ate the cheetos. 

Happy Weekend!

Another week has gone by, and it's time to share another set of cell phone pics. It's amazing that we have a camera at our finger tips at any moment. I love it!

So we had a big milestone in the land of Lily. She drew her family! And they actually look like people. Love it so much. 

A sweet pic of Jack and Avery from our trip to NC. 

And more of enjoying Jack's toys. 

Roadtrip love. Sometimes you just have to jump in the back seat and do some baby entertaining. 

Don't let this one fool you, she was not asleep. 

Lily told me she was hiding my money so monsters didn't get it. How considerate! 

And this is my favorite. She likes to look at herself in the mirror when she dresses up. 

I got a awesome package from Influenster. These smell so yummy!

Trying to keep on this exercise kick. I used some Christmas money to buy a new heart rate monitor. I love that it is a more accurate calorie burned counter. I am use the My Fitness Pal app to track my calories too. 

We sure are going to miss Daddy when he goes back to school. We have loved having him home to go to school drop off and pick up with us. 

I swear the Ipad is like baby crack for Ave. She is obsessed. Anytime she sees it, she says "mickey, mickey, mickey" even though she accidentally deleted the Mickey app. She really likes the Talking Tom app. 

She also started her baby gymnastics class. She is really loving it. I enjoy doing something just for her. 

Just relaxing a little bit on our roadtrip. Love my new Toms and the skinny cords from Old Navy. They are so comfortable. 

Hope everyone had a good week. We are headed to the childrens museum today. Also our very first trip to Chuck E Cheese. Lord save me now. Ha. Tonight it is dinner and we finally are seeing Le Mis!
