More summer pics and beginning of fall

May dad passed away July 14th. I still cry typing these words. It sucks.
Here is our little family after the service.

We took an AMAZING trip to Crested Butte, CO in early August.

First day of MDO for Millie and preschool for Lucy.


First day of ballet class. She is growing up too fast!

June/July Happenings

Splashing in our backyard pool on the 4th.

Millie at 7 months.

Lucy's first ballet class.

Lucy

So, lately Lucy HATES having her photo taken. I have to bribe her to get even the faintest smile. Well, last week I discovered a new "game". It's called, "DON'T SMILE!" I guess reverse psychology is hard at work at three years old.

Lucy came down the hall and encountered a photo session Mommy was having with Millster.

Lucy: "Mom, what are you doing?"


Lucy: "DON'T TAKE MY PICTURE!"


Mommy: "Lucy, DO NOT smile!"


Mommy: "Don't do it!"


Mommy: "NO!!"

Arboretum and Easter dresses

Garden Fairy

Fleece jacket, fairy dress and...rain boots. Love this girl!

Birthday #2

Lovely Lucy on the morning of her 3rd birthday. Daddy got her purple tulips.


We had a Little Einsteins birthday party at ASI Gymnastics. I was pretty proud of the cupcake toppers I made!

Birthday Party #1

We had such a nice visit in Nashville and my family went ALL OUT celebrating Lucy's 3rd birthday. She was treated like a queen and we are still trying to bring her back to reality! Mom bought an adorable cake, decorations and party favors. And Danny and Susan made a fantastic potato bar! She received some fantastic gifts and had a blast! Thank you David, Cathy and Katelyn for driving in to see us, as well as Rick, Laurie and Michelle!
