Budding Artist

Sweetpea took some art lessons (or rather just playtime with art classes) this summer and here is her final work of art. It was a painting of her, me, and Aaron at our house with the pool in the background. We are eating ice cream cones. You can see I have the biggest cone! :)

She definitely took after her father in the art department! Hope everyone is staying cool in this hot weather!

Model in the making!

We have been having a great summer so far! We went to a waterpark with Nana, Papa Phil, Nathan, and Nate this past weekend - Sweetpea was worn out! Earlier this month we went to the mall and Sweetpea saw a bungee jump that she just HAD to do. I made her wait awhile, but she finally got to jump. Here's a video of her jumping. After jumping we walked around the mall for awhile and Sweetpea was modeling sunglasses for us - it was pretty funny! Here's a video of our little model.

Summertime

I know I have been a horrible blogger! It's been a quick summer with taking two classes and entertaining Sweetpea! Plus, we're in between computers so I had to figure out how to get pictures and video onto my laptop. But, enough excuses! Here's a video of Sweetpea swimming in the pool - we've been getting a lot of use out of our pool this year and Sweetpea finally put her head underwater and hasn't wanted to stay above water since. We also went to a baseball game this past weekend because it was Princess Day. Sweetpea got to meet Ariel, Belle, Cinderella, and Snow White. Of course, when I said they probably had to go back to their castle later she laughed at me and said, "Mom, they're just dressed up like princesses, they live in a house not a castle." Can't get much past her anymore! Here's a picture of Sweetpea hugging the baseball mascot, Homer. This is a BIG step because she has been scared to death of mascots and this was the first time she willingly went up to one! My little girl is getting pretty big!
