Girls!

GIRLS! Do do do do do doo-do
All I really want is GIRLS!
Do do do do do doo-do
In the morning its GIRLS!
Do do do do do doo-do
And in the evening its GIRLS!

So the girls are still growing and getting into EV-RY-THING! Karis Marie thinks she is 1 going on 4! When we go to the park, she climbs up the stairs, through a tube and goes down the slide (on her tummy). She does this over and over and over, and if you try to help her, she tells you "NA NA NA NA NA NA NA!" Such an attitude! She's also into taking her pants off every day. So most days she just runs (yes RUNS!) around in a onesie or t-shirt and her diaper.


The girls in their swim suits. We went to the indoor pool a few weeks back. The girls had a blast in the kiddie area. Karis didn't care if the water was up to her chest, she was walking around and wanted to go down the water slide. Even if she did go under at the end, she just stood right back up. Daddy took Sierra and Ruby into the big pool one at a time to get them to float on their back (with him holding them) and they both flipped out and didn't trust that he wouldn't let go.


Ruby will definitely not be a social butterfly. Most days she is totally content with just playing in her room or in a corner all by herself. She loves the little mini barbies (think Barbie's little sister) and will gather all of those up to play. And she is still a cuddlebug :D
The girls love their princess dresses. The other day the ice cream man came by while they were dressed up so we went down to get a scoop of ice cream. He was honored to be serving royalty! And called them Bella (he's Italian) when he gave them their ice cream. Of course, then Mommy had to handwash the ice cream out of the dresses later that night.

Sierra and Karis. They are like two peas in a pod. Karis loves her big sis! She loves Ruby too, but she has more fun terrorizing Ruby and does it every chance she gets.


What a Koolaid Kisser. Sierra is getting taller every day! A friend of mine sent some hand-me-down clothes, and I thought, oh, these are too long, they won't fit Sierra. Nope, the fit her to a tee! And she tells everybody that Ms. Julia sent her new clothes. Mostly because they question why she's wearing jeans and long sleeve shirts and sweaters in August. LOL! Its because they're new!
Crazy girls! Ruby and Sierra like to play together. But they get involved in something, and Karis will come over to 'help out' so they've taken to either going in their room or in the bathroom so they can shut the door so Karis can't get in. Then Karis bangs on the door yelling "NA NA NA NA NA NA" LOL! Its really funny, it looks like she's telling them off.

Not much else is new over here. The girls certainly keep us busy. I have a bunch of cute pics from the Zoo in Neunkirchen, so I will post those later. Gotta go make lunch and get ready for Happy Hour ;-) (that would be nap time)!

My Little Monkey

Karis Marie is such a little monkey! She climbs on EVERYTHING! And I do mean everything! Here are a few pictures of her exceptional climbing skills. :eye roll:

Climbing in the baby doll stroller
Look, on the climbing up on the chair - which is moved away from the table

Because when the chairs are by the table
Look what she does!

Oh, and lets not forget the bookshelf. We've had to move the little chair by it

She wants to play on the computer too!

From the other side, she likes to climb up on the desk too!

Oh, and she climbs on our couch when I'm on the computer and jumps from the back of the couch to me!!!! She is the cause of my gray hair!
