Over the rest of the summer......

And here is what we did in July and August.....

Fireworks at Salyer Lake was our first of 3 fireworks shows. She didn't like that they were loud, but would watch them.

Swim Lessons started for this little Mermaid!! She would swim short distances by the end!

Nothing like finding a yogurt with your all time favorite character on it!

Yukon Fireworks show #2!

Bethany 4th of July parade!

Got to sit in the Salyer Lake Firetruck with Gramps!

I love my girl!

Daddy came home that night!!!!! She was happy he was home, but also afraid of the fireworks going off everywhere!

She warmed up to doing sparklers...... they aren't really noisy!

Modeling her dress from Spain and her wooden shoes from Amsterdam! They make quite the outfit!

Baking cookies just because!

We couldn't wait for the new pool to fill up and had to get in without our suit! Every child needs a picture like this right?

Her first time to go fishing!

A little Splash pad fun with cousins!

A night on the town!

Her first trip to the library!!

She loves her "swush" from Sonic!

We caught a caterpillar and raised it until is changed into a butterfly! Then it didn't want to fly away!

Cute sisters. They are such cute friends!

Her first trip to Eskimo Joe's when we moved Aunt E into college! Of course she ordered the PB&J.

That pretty much wraps up our summer!!! Then school started!

Over the summer.......

So I didn't do great about posts, but I'm going to post some of the fun memories we made this summer. Daddy had to go to europe for 3 weeks in June, so he missed some of the fun. and we missed him obviously! But we made the most of our time and had some relaxing fun!!

We started out with potty training which went great!! A few accidents the first week or two, then none! She even slept through the night from then on!!

Loved eating veggies and salad from our garden!

A fun trip to the zoo

Mommy and Daddy took a short trip to Key West, FL for our anniversary!

It was short but sweet!

We figured out that we are too big for the baby pool, but still had fun in the sun!

Looking cute for church! She wanted to take a picture with Bella.

Our chickens gave us lots of eggs!

That dimple. Seriously. Nothing like early morning cuteness. Madison at least.

A little fun time and giggles with cousins.

Riding ponies is one of her favorite things to do at events and parties!

Loving a Sunday morning trip to the Donut shop! She got her own bag of donut holes and was so proud!

"Momma, I want to dress like a cowgirl"

This takes us through June........ July/August will be next!

I have returned...... Easter 2015

Ok. I know several of you actually check this to see updates, and I want you to know that I feel bad every time I think about it! I have failed you miserably! But, I have made peace with myself and decided that I am not going to attempt to go back and update, or any great feats like that. I'm just going to jump in like I never missed a beat! MOST of you are on Facebook, and so you have seen things throughout the year. 

So I will start with a few pictures from this Easter. This is the year that she is finally old enough to understand and participate completely in all the festivities. And learn the meaning of the Easter Story! I just love teaching her these important parts of her little life and see her learn and remember them!

My sweet Easter Girl!

Discovering what the Easter Bunny brought!

She gets serious about egg hunts!

On Friday she got to go to a cute little Egg hunt and Easter Party at her friend's house! It was so sweet and cute to see all the little easter kids have such a fun time! 

She was so serious about this cookie. Of course she picked it because it was a chickie ;)

I guess she was worried about not getting more eggs? ha!

Her sweet friend McKinley! These 2 sweet girls are going to be good friends!

She had a great weekend and was just so excited with everything that had to do with Easter! I will do my best to post here and there with random updates to our life from now on!
