Lazy Days of Summer...

Who ever thought up the term "Lazy Days of Summer" was crazy. It seems like summer is half over before you even get started! We have been so busy playing that we haven't had any time for posting! This is our official "catch up" post on some of the random things we have been up to in the last few months. Enjoy!

In late April, we took Priya to the zoo (it was freezing cold), and she loved it!

Last month, we went to the zoo with Joanna, Lexi, and Natalie. Priya had a love-hate relationship with the animatronic dinosaurs. She hated them at the zoo, and she loves them now (and is obsessed with dinosaurs).

We watched Paul win his Championship Baseball Game:

Great job, Paul!

He really was excited, I promise!



My sweet niece Jillian got baptized:

Baby Jayden got blessed:

We celebrated the wonderful women in our lives with Mother's Day:

Grandma Davies, Priya, and Daddy

Priya with Mommy (watching Grandma Cindy blow out her birthday cake. Mother's Day was the perfect day to celebrate).

We celebrated the most amazing man's birthday:

Cleveland Indians? Yes!

Katie got Andrew tickets to U2 for his birthday (I know, you are all wishing Katie was related to you, too). It was awesome!

We celebrated some amazing men (including my totally awesome hubby)

on Father's Day:

Priya, me, Grandpa Little, and Andrew

Baby Emma was also blessed on Father's Day. Here is a picture of all the great-grandkids: L to R- Priya, Braxton, Claire, Jayden, Grandpa Little, Bailee, Megan, Emma.

Sadly, my dad was out of town for Father's Day. We missed him, but he had a great time!

Priya moved into a big girl bed (boy, has that been an adventure)!

Priya's first night testing out the bed

We've been doing all different kinds of swimming:

We've been going to carnivals and celebrations:

And we've been playing pioneer up at This is the Place:

Even with how busy we've been, Priya has still found time to do even more things, including:

Trying out the latest styles and fashions (and trending some of her own):

including shades

ruffles

Knee-high socks

and Mommy-Shoes

She has been doing artwork in various mediums (including her new favorite skin medium):

Spending time with family and friends:

Wrapping daddy around her finger:

Practicing her "Bay Watch" run:

Playing some baseball:

Going down the slides at McDonald's (which she considers very serious business)!

And perfecting her grass-rolling skills (still needs some work):

All in all, it has been a most satisfying summer so far!
