Helmicks Having Fun!

Keri and I got Emma a tricycle for her 2nd birthday! Hard to believe our little girl is already the big 2. This picture has Emma written all over it! She loves swimming, playing outside, riding her trike, and wearing her "wellow" shoes. :)

Drew loves bath time and Emma has done a great job helping this summer. She absolutely loves being the "big" sister that gives Drew baths.

My two most favorite girls in the entire world!


Awesome.... Just plain awesome.....

Drew is beginning to hold his head up well. Yeah Drew Man!

Emma, Elephant, Dad. Yes, in that order....no big nose jokes. :)

Mom and Emma at the new African Penguin exhibit at the Little Rock Zoo. Um, there really are penguins despite the lack thereof in the picture. :)

It was $1 day at the zoo. We were excited to take advantage of this money saving opportunity so we went despite the 100+ temps. Only stayed 45 minutes! The benefits of paying $3. I would like to take this opportunity to brag on the St. Louis Zoo. There will be a posting later on our adventures to this zoo. Fabulous! Free! Fun! Little Rock's Zoo could really take some pointers.

We love Summer!

Emma is a chip off the old block sometimes! We woke up one morning this summer to Emma covered in chocolate chips! She opened the fridge, grabbed the chocolate chips, opened them and proceeded to devour as many as she could before we woke up! They were everywhere. When I asked her if she was ready for breakfast, she informed me that she was "done." I'm sure she was....She probably ate a couple candy bars that morning. Oh, Emma!

A rare moment where they are both playing and Emma is not smashing Drew!

Going on a run with Dad!

Drew loves his thumb. I don't know what it is with our kiddos and their thumbs!
Walking in Mommies shoes.

The good life....

Paint time!

Going to the carwash!

Lunch with Lolly at her work!

Summer Days

It has been forever since we blogged last! The Helmicks have been a busy crew this summer. Steven has worked quite a bit and Keri has picked up some extra shifts as well. Our summer has taken us to the Smoky Mountains in Tennessee and St. Louis Missouri! We are also traveling to Central Illinois and Iowa to round out the summer tour. We hope you enjoy pictures from our adventures!
