Nothing's more fun than water!

When we were visiting Marianna about a week and a half ago, we went with the family to the park for a Sunday Picnic. There was great food and lots of sunshine.

Of course, when it's hot, nothing's more fun than water!


The fun begins!



She LOVED it!!


And everyone enjoyed watching her!!

She was dirty, and that diaper was FULL!


Little Elise getting lots of love!

Hodge Podge

Since it has been a while, here is a hodge podge of lots of funness...

One of Aaralyn's new favorite things to do is stamp.

This heart stamp is her favorite!


Aaralyn and Sophia haven't gotten to play together in a while. We were so glad to have Sophie and her Mom come over for a playdate. It is really neat to see our kids playing and interacting together.


My, how they have grown!!

During "naptime," Aaralyn decided to read ALL of her books at once and reorganize them. Funny thing is, I never heard her while she was doing this. She's starting to get sneaky!!



I painted Aaralyn's fingernails...and she loved it! I wasn't sure if she would sit still long enough, but she thought it was fun...and so did I!!



Finally, this little mess! You may think that is yogurt on her face. But nope, that's sour cream. She was using it as a dip for her burritos, then decided that it would be better to lick off of her finger, which then ended up all over her face. If you know my obsession with sour cream, you know this proves she is a girl after my own heart!! Very cute!!

Happy Birthday, Sweetheart!!

Yesterday was Aaralyn's 2nd birthday!! I am so proud to be her Momma. She is such a precious little girl, full of personality and joy. She has a cute sense of humor and always keeps us laughing. She has a compassionate heart and is always concerned about others around her. She NEVER meets a stranger and is super friendly. It is so neat to see how she is growing and learning and I am always amazed with her. Thank you, Aaralyn for being so wonderful!!

We had a little party on Saturday for her with our family and a few of her friends. It was lots of fun and we had a great time.
