Say cheese!

"how about we say 'nectarine' since that's what we're eating?"
We love fresh fruit in the summer!
And eating it at our kitchen island :)

Tag along toys

Sometimes you have a name brand purse that your toddler insists belongs in her dress-up bin. And sometimes you need that purse to complete your outfit for a date afternoon at the ballpark. In those instances, you might find a few tag-along toys in said purse ; )

Daddy's girl

Naughty business

It's a good thing she's cute ...

A girl's first hibachi

Checkin' milestones on the list left and right, we are : ) Unfortunately the hibachi wasn't as fun as we'd hoped, and it won't be in the regular rotation anytime soon, but it was about as successful as any family meal at a restaurant these days ...

These two were born ready for princess day at school!

Animal kingdom

For a girl that's afraid of her own shadow most days, she had no problem holding the boa constrictor named "Captain America" at a friend's birthday party last weekend!

Sick daze

The girls love to share and it wasn't but a few days before Miss Anna was feeling the same way her sister had a few days earlier. Luckily rest and a few days home from school helped and she was back in business in no time.
