Summer time

Life has been busy. These girls have been having so much fun this summer so far. We've been to Seattle to visit a new baby, gone swimming, played at parks, went on bike rides, and spent lots of time playing in our very own yard. Natalie wants to go outside all the time. Anytime she sees anyone opening the back door she races to it in hopes that she too will get to go play.

Aside from loving the outdoors, Natalie also loves babies. She has watched Ryland play with baby dolls tons of times, so she knows just how to feed them, wrap them up with a blanket, and carry them around. She is always pointing out real babies when we are out and about, even ones that are older than her :)


The Cook girls in the kitchen...


Here are the girls in one of many matching outfits. They sure are cute if you ask me.


Here's a picture of Natalie's curls after a bath. These curls really suit her personality I think. She's adventurous, silly and goofy.


Oh, and she's a trouble maker too, as you can see...


Ryland is constantly saying "mom, Natalie's going into the bathroom!", "mom, Natalie's climbing the stool!", "Natalie's playing with toilet paper!"....the list goes on and on. Ryland is my little reporter.
