What she wore at the beach

PoIn typical beach time, this is a day late.  Little lady is living the beach and all these kiddos running around!

What she wore Wednesday

Because she is so cute we'll try another round of this "fashion inspiration". To me, her cute outfits just don't get old.

 

 

 

 

All pictures taken with my phone, excuse the blurry ones. Try as I might I still forget to take pictures every day...sweet third child you are getting more camera time then I thought you would!

 

Happy 4th of July!

Kid parade, fireworks, good and fun.  Happy Independence Day! 

What she wore Wednesday

A little fashion inspiration for all you little ladies!  Also just an excuse to post pictures of my "doll baby".  Amazing how many times I hear that while we are out.  Took Mary to her first Nats game and must have heard it like 50 times.  Even had a dude go out of his way to cone up and say "that is the most beautiful baby! I'm serious!"  He was on the way to purchase liquid refreshment... and clearly  had been very thirsty.

Anyway, enough chit chat here she is:

Summer Reading Program

This is our second summer participating in the county wife summer reading program.  Fun, easy and the kids get a fun coupon book for treats in the area. 

We picked up our coupon books this morning.  James excitedly read me each one...free ice cream at McDonald's!! Cookie from chick-fil-a....mini golf...you get the picture. Not to be outdone, Luke started to "read" his coupons to me based on the pictures..."a clown will read me a book", "free volcano!", and "my very own real pirate...to keep in my room".  

Where will I stash that pirate?

Baby Pictures

Sorting through some baby pictures we decided Mary does look a little like her mommy.

That's me being held by two of Mary's namesakes; Mary Ellen (my grandmother) and Ellen (my mother).  Also my grandfather who shares a middle name with Luke; Virgil William and Luke William.    Really loving looking back!  Next we need some more baby pics of Daddy!

Found the toys!

She is growing up to fast already!

When you can't pick just one

Post them all.  Enjoy the sweetness that is our missy miss.

Supertaster

The boys sometimes get to watch the chow.com super taster with us.  They have recently really embraced the concept of rating the food they eat.  Today at lunch James rated the cookie as superb, the day old pizza as keen and the grapes as tolerable.  And just for good measure he remarked if he had been served zucchini it would have been ghastly.  

And for good measure, our latest crafts: word girl condiment gun and paper iPhones.  Hilarious! 

Two visitors and a smile!

They were in town less then 48 hours, but we managed to squeeze in chess, trips to the playground and a big smile from Miss Mary just for Aunt Julia.
