I love summer!

I LOVE that Bailey likes to read! This last week she was really into her book and I kept finding her all around the house trying to do her normal day to day things with a book in her hand. Once I convinced her to put it down long enough to get things done she went right back to it!

Not much better than a sunny day, a warm trampoline and a good book!

I think we have a new tradition in the making! Every morning I hear: " It's summer! Can't we have a picnic for breakfast?" Why not! So, they've been eating breakfast in the back yard all week. Again I say: I LOVE SUMMER!!

Princess Emily

Emily had her big ballet recital on the 19th. She did such a great job! This year the theme for the lower school was "God's Little Princess". Bonus year for Smemmie! Not only did she get to dance like a princess but she got to dress up like one too! Congratulations Em on a really great job!


Here she is with our good friend, Jaime.

And her teacher, Miss Shauna

We took about 100 pictures that night! Em was having so much fun doing all sorts of different poses and in front of all the interesting flowers and scenery. She was also very excited to get a rose and wanted it in every single picture. Here are some of my favorites.


(she kept dipping her rose in the fountain - she wanted to make sure it wasn't thirsty!)
