Summer Is In Session!

 

It's finally here.

 

We've been doing some light reading (ha!ha!)

 Of course, plenty of Hawaiian ice. 

I am determined to try 5 new flavors this year. That day the new flavor was lime.

 And our favorite summer spot, the reservoir. Closest thing we have to a beach.

So this Happened

The helpers

Here is a close up of the bone Berkeley wore. 

I'll be honest we were all a little nervous that this beauty of a ring was in a dog's care for 1 minute but luckily he didn't go for the pond :)

(Sorry, I keep editing the photos to rotate them but every time I upload them on blogger they keep turning back to this).

Details:

We headed to the park before Chris and Carrie got there.

We were meeting on the east side where we were hiding with Berkeley.

Once we saw them we released Berkeley to run to Carrie.

Except he wouldn't run to her.

I had to walk him until he was about 10 ft from her, then he finally ran to her.

It's okay because that was very Berkeleyesque.

Just Dance!

I couldn't wait to start dance classes for this little one, and I was ever so happy that she loved it. 

We had our first recital. I have a really hard time doing hair. 

Luckily, I live in a neighborhood of teenage girls who love hair, so I recruited Shae. 

 Back stage.

Our little family.

She loved every minute of being stage, she wasn't shy in the least. She wouldn't exactly do her dance. She would occasionally do her dance, then she would twirl then wave then try the dance again.

I had every intention of buying her flowers to give her after her performance, but forgot. 

luckily, Aunt Aubrey saved the day and brought a rose.

 Aubrey only has boys so it was months ago she asked when the recital was scheduled

 so she could come do "girly things" ha!

 We were so happy the MeMe came out and got to see her dance.

The ride home she zonked right out.

This Little Monkey Bumped Her Head

Late Sunday night/Early morning Monday we had our first ER adventure.

This little monkey fell off the bed and bumped her head. 

I have a picture of the actual wound but I will spare you. 

Her first set of stitches, 6 of them actually.

Here she is getting numbed up.

And all fixed up. 

He was a cute doctor.

The numbing medicine takes 30 minutes to work, so when he checked in he told her, 

"Okay, so we have a date in a half an hour." 

She found it so funny.

She was a champ. 

She sat just like a statue and when it hurt she said, "This hurts a little." 

As she put on her bravest face.

Me on the other hand, that's a different story.

Apparently, I can't stomach these things because I just about passed out. 

I was instructed to sit down and put my head between my knees and was handed a vomit bag while the tech (who was in there to hold B - but luckily didn't have to) fanned me 

and the nurse got me apple juice. 

I was thoroughly embarrassed. 

Note to self, Brad does hospital duty.
