beading with girlies.

A couple snapshots of girls day and beading.  I get so proud of her when she picks up things so quickly, and her fine motor skills impress me, even if they don't impress anyone else lol.  ;)  She loves these - she'll just bead them, unstring them, bead them, unstring them.

The fair.

The fair.  Eeeeep the fair.  We have a weakness for all things fall around here really ... we started dating in the fall, we had Kayden in the fall, and now we got engaged in the fall =D  So we've got a lot of memories and traditions and looooove when fall comes around!! <3

(I realized today that my August/September folder got a bit jumbled, but that's ok)

Anyways, back to the fair.  We love it.  Super love it.  It was such a blast this year, with Kayden exploring more than ever.  We shared fair food, and watched the native american dances and she couldn't get enough =).  And of course we had to stop by the animals - hilarious.  The pictures kill me haha! =D  Her face, and Dominic's faces, too much! 

HAHAHA!  I truly feel like I need to print this out and put it up to giggle about on a regular basis ;D

Love her little tongue here <3

Wild thang.

Wild thang!  She is such a nut!  We are now to August, by the way people.  Big things, big things! =D She just kills me with her little backpack, and her keys.  She's becoming such a big girl, who totally knows what she wants!  It's an interesting time, and is continuing to be - with her feistiness mixed with her sweet helpfulness <3.  

And a couple of crazy hair (and living room) just to make you smile =D

Baseball in the seats.

This fam loves baseball!  We'd go everyday if we could.  Last summer when Auntie Roni offered an impromptu baseball day, we jumped at the chance, and off we went!  Kayders loved sitting in the seats and especially having her own special seat ;D  She's too much.  And apparently so was the game .. she passed.out.cold!  My sweet baby <3

(Pre game lunch) ;)

girl days.

Days after we got back from Colorado Dominic had to turn around and go back to Colorado haha!  It was a work conference and we had lots going on that weekend: Alicia's wedding and Kayden's birthday - so we stayed in town and had "girls days".  Daddy is totally the chef in the house - I try but I am definitely a baker .. not a cook lol.  Sooo, we survived on easy dishes for a few days ;) like colored pasta.  Whoohoo =D  A few shots of the goofy (...oh yeah, and Dozie).
