CAN I JUST SAY-- MY GIRL IS TOO FUNNY. SHE IS BECOMING QUITE THE FASHIONISTA WITH HER HAT, PURSE, HEELS, AND "FAIRIES ROCK "T-SHIRT. SHE PUT ALL THAT ON AND I WAS CRACKING UP. SHE LOVES GIRLY STUFF. SHE ALSO LOVES THE SEAT BELT. IT IS HER NEWEST WORD TO SAY. SHE IS OBSESSED WITH IT. I ALWAYS TELL HER WE HAVE TO BUCKLE UP FOR SAFETY AND SHE WANTS THE SEAT BELT. I CAN'T GET IT ON FAST ENOUGH FOR HER. IN THESE PICTURES, DADDY HELPED HER PUT IT ON AND LET HER "DRIVE". SHE IS GETTING SO BIG SO FAST. WHERE DOES THE TIME GO.

Grandpa Jim's house

We stopped by my dad's house and my sister brought my neice, Mariah. 2 cute girls and Grandpa Jim.
Yes, that is Todd on my dad's fancy lawnmower. Todd wants a bigger yard so he can get one.

What a Sweetie

Alex loved her cousin Andrew. She was giving him hugs and kisses. I think he loved her too. We will be going to the zoo with Andrew and his family in September. I think we will have fun.

Little Fish

I think we may have a little fish on our hands. Alex loves to swim. We put her in that floatie and she was having a ball. She was kicking those little legs and paddling with her arms. We will definitely do swim classes next year.

Some Cheeses for the Camera

Here are some pictures of Alex cheesing for the camera. She cracks me up with the whole cheek to cheek pose. Grandpa Jim and Alex (top left). Daddy and Alex (top right)

China Sister II

Can I just say that Alex loves to go go go. When I say let's go she is out the door and in that carseat faster than you can say "chips" (one of her most favorite things). We have had a busy week. Monday we went to visit Lily, her China sister in Dayton and Wednesday we went to visit Rosie, her China sister in Cincinnati. We had a great time both visits and it was so good to see the girls together even if they fought more than anything. (they are 2 and very much want their own way). I am sure as time passes that they will get along much better. There were some precious moments that I didn't capture on camera of the girls giving each other hugs and kisses-- so sweet. We had an awesome time. Thank you to Tracy and Matt for letting us come stay. It was awesome.

Home made sushi

This is Matt (Rosie's dad). He made us homemade sushi that was awesome and also a delicious bread dip. YUMMY!!!!! Thank you Matt.
