Like Mother OR Like Father?!?

It's always fun to get different opinions on who your kids look more like.. when Karly was very first born we thought she looked like me, then people's opinion swayed more towards Ricky for a while, and now the majority are saying me again. And with our Abby June we have had a lot of people say they can't quite pick who she looks more like... here are some pictures of Ricky and I around there ages...

Ricky checking out a new gift =) Karly makes this exact facial expression!

Baby Ricky sitting on Nanny Paulines lap.

This is where it all started =/

Little Ricky

K... my turn... Me, my mom and baby Katie.

Mom, Dad and Me

And me around Abby's age.

Ricky and I both think they are just a pretty even mixture of the both of us...

 Here are our darlings in their fourth of July outfits...

 Gosh I love my Karly girl!!!

And my Abby June and Emmy Bleu... little twins =)

Grandma Kelly and the girls.

 =)

Think she enjoyed our ice cream trip... she got birthday cake ice cream... soooo good!

"Here is my sister =)"

Just when you think those dimples can't get any deeper...

... they do!!!!

And we keep thinking these eyes can't get any bluer... but they do!!!

 We've walked to the park a lot these summer nights...

... Abby loves to sit and watch her sister play...

 ... soon she will be right out there with her!

 My QT's

 

 We've got some visits in with a few of our favorites... Amy Nermn...

 ... and of course Tanner Knox!

Sweetest thing!

 With her cool shades!

Angel!

 

 We had Bella, Dayton and Carlos spend the night one night...

... the boys had fun playing wii...

... while us girls played dress up and danced =)

 Soooo fun!

Popcorn and movies in the play room.

 And pool time fun all day long!

 Sweet Bella

Got into my lipstick... perfect! =)

So to close up this post... no matter what mixture our girls are of us... we think they are the most beautiful things in the world. Thank you, Thank you Lord for these two blessings!!!

Summer fun!

We have been enjoying the first part of summer... the heat has definately set in in California...104 in our town right now =/ But we have found ways to stay cool...

... this is a shot of Karly in what I call her golfers get up... had to post it for my husband =)

 My little matching misses =)

 Aren't they just too damn adorable?

 They wore these outfits for Emmy's baptism... animal print is something her mom and her both appreciate =)

 And here is the princess of animal print herself all in white for her big day!

 The church that Ricky grew up in is such a beautiful little church...

 ... and the ceremony was very nice!

 Watching their cousin...

 Kissing cousins =)

 The big brother giving his baby sister a kiss!

 A beautiful day for a baptism =)

 Abby was "team daddy" for father's day...

 ... I love this picture of Carlos... the rings under his eyes just show a kid that is enjoying his summer to the fullest..

 Karly and the best dad EVER =)

 My little cutie... she says her prayers every night now...

"Dear Dod... tank you to Becca,  tank you to Mayme, tank you to my mommy, tank you to my baby sister, tank you to daddy, tank you to the animals.... (she goes on forever, this kid has a lot to be thankful for)... I love you, Amen... BYE!"

 She NEVER forgets to thank him for her baby sister... gosh does she love her!

 And Abby just adores her big sister too!

 Smiles...

 ... and more smiles!!! =)

 Mayme and Karly

 Abby's favorite spot up at my moms house!

 No need for clothes in this heat =)

 Eyes still blue!

 Dressed herself =) She has like three layers on...crazy kid! She is a crack up these days... some of my favorite Karly comments...

Every time she walks by Abby, "That's my sister!" with a huge smile on her face.

If Abby spits up she will tell us, "Oh! Oh! She's fitting, fitting!" (all her 's' are 'f')

Soooo when Abby smiles she will say, "Oh look... Abby's filing!"

AND MY FAVORITE "KARLY SAYING" is... the other night as I was laying her down I was cuddling her and said I loved her and she hugged me back and said "I LOVE YOU TOO MUCH!"

 Owie and Karly have been buddies this summer!

 And speaking of buddies, this little bud is named Darby... he is Tracy and Pat's new addition to the family...

 ... and man is he ADORABLE!!!

 I mean come on... how could you not fall in love with him?!?

 These two crack me up together.... Owie would say some line from Veggie Tales or Gnomeo and Juliet... Karly would say, "But Owen, wut chu talkin about???" and the same lines from both would continue forever =)

 Puppy Kisses... the BEST =)

 And this kid cracks me up... got a hold of the clippers... can you tell?

Like I said in the title... we have just been have tons of summer fun these days!!! =)

I realized I haven't posted Karly saying her ABC's... my favorite part is the "t boobie" part =)

My smiley baby!
