Just some pics...

Some pics from the last couple of weeks. Lauren and I spent a weekend up at a friend's cabin. It was nice to get out of the heat, if only for a couple of days. Thanks Kim for a great weekend!




She loves her ice cream with sprinkles...





Sometimes I look at a pic and think she looks so much older. Where does the time go?


On Saturday we went to the Disney Store and they were having a fun promotional for Toy Story 3. All the kids got a name badge sticker and bandana. They had little stations set up around the store for different activities to earn more stickers.

Is it just me, or does the Jessie character have a creepy looking face? ;)

Liking her dress...

As promised, here's a few shots of Little Miss in her twirly dress. We were on our way out, so taking the backpack off for this pic was not an option...


We got Lucy smiling too in this one...


This is supposed to be an action shot of her twirling, but in another life when I'm an actual photographer you would know that...

Feeling accomplished...

I bought this pattern and fabric back in March and I finally made the dress.


The neckline seemed a little plain to me with just the elastic, so I made a little flower. I think it turned out pretty cute. Lauren calls it her twirly dress.


She's napping right now, but I'll get a pic of her wearing it later.

Next project is a bag for me. I bought Vanessa's pattern for this cute little number. Here's my fun summer fabric...

Weekend fun...

Joe was out of town and Lauren and I had a great weekend just the two of us. Actually, it wasn't really the two of us because we had plans the entire weekend. On Saturday it was off for a pedi, then lunch, then a birthday party at the Little Gym for Katie, who just turned 3. Sindy, thanks for inviting us, we had a great time and it was so nice to see everyone.

On Sunday morning we met a few friends for bowling. I can't believe they actually had toddler sized bowling shoes...they were so cute. Lauren had a blast rolling the 6 lb bowling ball down the alley. Thank God for bumpers or every one of them would have been gutter balls! One of her rolls took FOREVER to get down the alley, with Lauren standing there the whole time waiting for it, and then at the very end the ball dumped off to the side without touching any pins. Lauren turned around with the saddest look and walked back with her head and shoulders drouping down. It was too funny. We had a group of guys on the next lane who got a big kick out of her reaction.




Here's a quick video of her bowling technique. She just grabs the ball and runs with it...



After bowling it was off for the first swim of the season. It was so hot on Sunday and the water felt great!
