~She's a Pro~

At baseball

and golf!

~Grandpa and Aylah~

Grandpa and Aylah had such a great time together this weekend.

They read about some puppies who are looking for a new home.

A lot of bonding time while reading the newspaper together.

I love how Aylah is pointing her little finger in this picture.

Please notice the softball as the center piece for the table.

~Sprinkler Fun~

~Sprinkler Ball~

We went shopping for a bathing suit this weekend, because the one I bought her on sale last year, for this year, is already too small. Aylah picked out this bathing suite all by herself and she is very proud of it! I think she did a wonderful job.

While we were shopping for a bathing suit, grandpa was out doing a little shopping of his own. When we got home, her surprised Aylah with this sprinkler ball.

Aylah is trying to jump over the ball.

Now she is trying to get a little drink.

Now she is trying to soak up some water for her squirt gun...

...so she could squirt grandpa!!!

Look at the energy this girl is putting into this!

Don't worry, it wasn't long before grandpa decided it was time to squirt Aylah.

~Back and Forth~

Grammy and Aunt Lisa live next door to each other, so sometimes it's very hard for Aylah to make a decision as to which direction she should go. So, to make it a little easier for herself, she decided to just keep going back and forth.

To Lisa's house.

Watching Harley, Aunt Lisa and Uncle Gary's gigantic great dane through the window.

Aylah loves Harley...but still a little terrified of him, especially his ferocious bark.

A little pose for the camera.

Aylah running to see Aunt Lisa as she pulls in to the driveway.

P.S. Isn't this butterfly dress adorable on my sweet adorable little girl. Thanks meme for the sundress. Aylah sure does enjoy wearing it!

~Tea Cup~

We went to Elkhart this weekend and I always insist on having lunch or dinner at one of my favorite Chinese restaurants. Aylah decided that she was old enough now to have her own cup of hot tea.

~A Little Bit Of...~

Aylah had a blast at playgroup today.

She did a little bit of swimming...

A little bit of the sprinkler...

A little bit of trying to spray mommy...

A little bit of swinging...

A little bit of a wagon ride...

A little bit of the slip and slide...

A little bit of lawn mowing...

please notice how she is concentrating so hard.

And a little bit of flying!

~Daddy Goes First~

Aylah waited all day for daddy to set her slip~n~slide up. Then he had to show her how it was done!

Slip~N~Slide

or

Slip~N~Crawl

either way...Aylah loved it!

~Slip~N~Slide~

Mike bought Aylah her first slip~n~slide today!

Yahoo!

Daddy giving it a try!

This is GREAT!

~California Dream'n~

~A little dance from the 60's~

~Welcome to the 60's~

Mike has been preaching on how the 60's has impacted us today. So, this past Sunday night was the big finale with a little 60's dress up celebration!

Sweet Aylah was so tired, she passed out during the service.

My handsome hubby!

These are some chips that came out in the 60's.

Some other snacks introduced in the 60's.
Please notice the tie-die cups:)
And...who would have known that Texas Sheet Cake was introduced in the 60's, so of course we dug in and ate some yummy cake!

Such a great time. I learned so much and am extremely thankful for such a wonderful preacher...AKA: my husband!

~Dress Up...~

...with the bears!

~A lot of Candy~

We officially started potty training this week. For some silly unknown reason, I decided that a package of smarties would be the best reward for each time Aylah pottied. Well, little did I know she would potty approximately two dozen times or so. Then to top it off, we had a family movie night planned with lots of goodies as you can see.

Well, let's just say Aylah was wide awake well in to the midnight hours.

~The 80's~

We had our regular playgroup date Wednesday, and I've been letting Aylah dress herself lately.

So, this is what we got...

My little 80's girl.

~A Little Walk Down Zoo Lane~

Every year we take Aylah to the zoo for her 1/2 birthday.

So, here is Aylah at 6 months old.

~Aylah's Sunday Best~

~Sweet Belle~

We are waiting on daddy to come pick us up for church and I managed to snap of few, okay, a lot of pictures of my sweet baby girl.

Sweeping the water puddles.

Rolling the football through the water puddles.
