Around the house...

I have so many babies: Baby Alice, Chubby Baby, Baby Sam, but this is my number one girl- Big Baby. I have to practice being a big sister you know!

Cooking is my new favorite activity. Mom says I make a great sous-chef. Here I am making marinara sauce with Dad- with tomoatos right from our garden! I picked those too. I don't know what Mom and Dad would do without all my help.

I graciously agreed to give my crib to my new baby sister. I am working on sleeping in my big girl bed! I think it's going great. I don't know if Mom and Dad would agree- they seem awfully tired these days.....

Fish Farm Festival!

Jammin' out to the bluegrass band- yeah!

Me and Oakley checking out the cows.

Wahoo!!!! All-you-can-eat ice cream!!!! I don't know who's more excited, me or mom!

That's my buddy Oakley!

Dads rock!

Just chillin' after all the ice cream and dancing and obstacle course and cows and babies and....

Sleeping Giant Hike

Phew! This hiking is tough stuff! Dad should really get himself one of these backpacks.

Starfish in August

Where I lived for two weeks- the beach!!! My swim lessons sure have paid off- mom and dad couldn't get me out of the water! And I learned to build sandcastles and dig big holes. I rode in my bike trailer everyday to the beach or farmer's market or playground!

Awwwww....

Porch time! Here is where I watched the neighborhood dogs go for walks and bunnies eat grass, watched boats and planes, ran around with my beach ball, blew bubbles, and flew a kite!

Don't worry everyone, I'm a trained lifeguard.

Help! Mommy's got me!

Go! Go! Go!

Cousin visit with Paige and Bennett! We went to the beach with Auntie Kate and Uncle Kris, played, had nap time and went out for dinner.

I think this look works for me. Nana won't mind if I borrow these.

Love from Mommy at the Narrow River where I swam in big waves with Biggie the dog and friends. We took a boat to the beach and spent the day. I'm wrapped in a towel because I lost my clothes somewhere along the way....I didn't have anything to do with that.

Picnic with friends! Fresh garden veggies and fun in the yard. Even Uncle Bryan and Sarina got to come along to the Kaiser's for a dinner picnic. I saw their chickens and pigs, played on their swings, swam in their pool and of course played with Biggie.

Don't worry dad, I can touch here.

Playing at home with Sarina! We went to the beach in the bike trailer together and played at the playground while Uncle Bryan worked- work stinks!

Just when you thought you knew me....

I may be wearing pink, but you wouldn't want to see me in a dark alley.

Runaway bride.

Desperately Seeking Avery

Road trip to see Uncle David!

Poppy?! Isn't the playground for kids?!

I was a big help in Uncle David's garden, just like at home.

The air chair!

Peek-a-boo!

What? Nothing to see here....

Summer Fun!

Mom and I made goop while Dad cleaned out the garage- it was delicious and messy!

I got a new table and chairs for my big girl room with a big girl bed! Here I am helping Dad put it together- tough work!

Here I am at Brooksvale Park- one of my favorite places this summer. I am in front of the big red barn showing you where the bunnies live.

Ahhh, just relaxing watching my babies after bath time.

So many turkeys! I don't know why they were running away?!?

July Vacation to RI!!!

Playing in Nana and Poppy's room

Sarina and I got a lot of good quality cousin time- here we are enjoying the views from Nana and Poppy's bedroom.

And here we are running around the deck- one of our favorite activities.

But we can't forget riding Leo!

Or going for bike rides!

Loved beach time, but loved it best early in the morning when no one was there and the sun wasn't out.

The boat launch was part of our daily routine. Uncle Bryan and Dad caught crabs and snails for us.

I was just supposed to be washing my hands...

And we got to see Cousin Paige and Bennett!!!

And Vivian and Lila and their new puppy, George!

Nana took us to forts in Jamestown where we saw lots of boats and caves.

Phew, we need a break after all that walking!

Just chillin' after clamming at the salt pond.

Oh, Poppy, you're hilarious!

What a fun week we had! We saw so many friends and family. Can't wait for August Rhode Island vacation...

Mommy and me!

Awww, my first intentional smile at the camera!!!
