Durham Fair 2014

We went to the Durham Fair with Yayah and Auntie Green this year.  

As always, it was a fantastic time!

Never too big for the wave runners!

Such a happy girl.

I won this all by myself. 

(Apparently, you can "win" any prize when you pick out the prize and pay for it. 

Two girls = two bags of cotton candy

Love our Yayah!

Amelia wanted to try the trampoline!

No fair is complete without getting your face painted.

Two beautiful butterflies.

The girls have started gymnastics, here are a few pics from the first time they put on their leotard... there are some days where it takes serious bribes to get it off!! The love it!

What Mommy and Daddy wake up to every morning :)

Yayah surprised the girls with a special trip to the nail salon.

They loved every second!

Amelia went with red nails and Emma wanted blue. 

Filing the nails.

Painting.  So when do I get a massage?

It's like watching paint dry.

The finished product, nail art included!!

Look, I'm a twin

"Hey Mom, look I'm a twin"

Black and Blues

Our annual trip to pick blackberries and blueberries.  

Hmm which one should I pick?

I found the perfect one!

Mommy's favorites

That's a lot of blueberries. Can you imagine if she hadn't been snacking the whole time? 

How much does that weigh Amelia?

Two pretty girls

Emma: The professional blueberry picker, like her mom.

She was pretty good at picking blackberries too

Look momma it's pink and purple!

Love birds

Speaking of Yahya and Ryan.... we are very happy to announce that Yahya and Ryan are engaged!  

Congratulations, we can't wait for the big day! It's going to be white trash themed right?!?!

Yahya and Ryan hosted a White Trash Bash this year, it was pretty spectacular.

Here are a few of the pics that shouldn't get us into trouble :)
