Sydney + Maggie = best buds

Not to mention Maggie is just the right height for snuggles from Syd!

Happy 1st birthday Piper!

Last weekend we traveled to Delphos to celebrate "baby" Piper's first birthday! (we can't call her Baby Piper anymore! :( ) We had such a fun time and the kids did too as they ran around and played with their cousins! It was great to see them interact with one another!

Little Miss B!
All of the great-grandkids....it gets harder every time to take their picture!
Cousin love... it's funny to think that these two girls were our family's "first babies" in nearly 18 years. Now they are the big kids!

Summer!

Here at the Helget household we are having a great summer! The saddest part about it is that it is FLYING by! I cannot believe it's already the middle of July! So since I was so kindly reminded that it's been a MONTH since I last posted, here's the last month in fast forward. :)

We grew tomatoes....
We went to Potwin Pottery in Topeka with our friends, the Dunns for a special Father's Day morning. The kids listened to a Father's Day story and then painted a mug for their daddies!
The kids learned to share....
G learned to eat with utensils!
We celebrated Daddy!

Got in to lots of lotion during nap time....
Covered lots of miles in a hot red Mustang!
Joe and I found out that Maggie walks better for Sydney than she does for us....
Fishing and 4th of July in Colorado!
G found out just how much he enjoys playing in suitcases!
...and with toilet paper!
Our first family day in approximately 4 1/2 months--to Deanna Rose farmstead!
