And it begins, another Parmentar girl in the dog bowls.

 A little Leapster before bedtime.

 My little sweetie hanging out while M and L eat Mac and Cheese at Target (not sure why, but they love to eat there).

 Max after his bath after his dog fight.  He just doesn't realize not every dog wants to play with him.  Poor buddy.  He is fine now.

We had a little picnic at a park nearby after I picked the girls up from school last Thursday.  Jolie took her first ride in a swing.  As M and L took turns pushing her I realized this was the first place they went swinging too.  And now they are old enough to push their baby sis.  Sad days for mommy.

Snack time on the deck while dad mows the yard.  Obviously we have had some unseasonally warm weather.  It has been awesome- tons of outside play time with all the neighbors!  This week is more like usual, but it is still beautiful.

M and L started gymnastics lessons today.  It was hysterical...watching them try to roll and flip around.  They listened very well to their instructor and tried everything she asked with enthusiasm.  Maddie was almost in tears when it was time to leave.  I promised her we would go back again next week.  Then they each noticed the sparkly trophies, so that distracted them from the class ending.  Lena wanted her picture with "hers."  They wanted to take one home, but I told them they had to come back and work really hard before they could have their own.  Then I bribed them with chicken nuggets to get them to the car.

I know the quality of the photos isn't that great, but I was taking them through glass while holding the baby.  You gotta cut me some slack.

I am so guilty of being lazy and taking pictures only with my iPhone.  I need to get our camera out, I just don't have enough hands.

Ten months old!  Jolie is crawling around everywhere, pulling up on anything that holds still, and getting a new front tooth.  She is still the sweetest baby anyone could ask for, and has finally become a good sleeper again.  She is slowly taking to table foods, but still loves her bottles!

Cavity free!  This is Maddie and Lena's second trip to the dentist.  They look forward to going, because they have the nicest pediatric dentist and the coolest office.  Toys, suckers (sugar free, of course), crayon toothbrushes...you name it, they have it.  I just found out that it is recommended for your child to start seeing the dentist at 1, so Jolie has her first appointment for this fall along with her big sisters.

 While Grandma P was here last weekend, we had some fun trying flower girl dresses on the twins.  They are going to be in Uncle Zach's wedding in July.  Maddie and Lena thought they were brides.

We also went to the Arnold Classic and met up with our neighbors Mark and Stephanie and their two sons.  Stephanie works for the Classic and gave us VIP treatment.  M and L tried out fencing for the first time.  Maddie was a bit unsure, but Lena talked her into it.  It was so funny to watch them.  I would have given anything to swing a sword at my sister when we were younger!
