July/August Recap

It turns out that I've been really lazy about blogging lately. I think I did much better with the updating when I had a blog that wasn't private, so I could look at people's blog roll and think, "Man it's been a few weeks since I updated my blog. I better get cracking on that!" Enough with the excuses though, here are some fun pictures of things that we did in July and August...

Addy had her first trip to the dentist, which went much better than I anticipated

Fakest sad face ever!

And then a look of pure terror. Good thing that bear is always around to ease the pain!

Each week this summer they had different, fun activities going on at the library near us. This was the last week, they did a prize giveaway for kids who participated in the summer reading program. Addy didn't win anything, but she was very excited to take home some free books. We love the library!

Besides the giveaway, this week they had this lady who brought all kinds of creatures. I was surprised that Addy had no problem with touching this snake.

We went to Belmont Park one weekend and Ryan won Addy this dragon. She was thrilled!

Watching the bumper cars at Belmont Park with Daddy. Addy took swimming lessons all summer at an athletic club right near Belmont Park and her favorite thing to do after swimming lessons (every single week!) was to go see the bumper cars. She loved them!

We got to go to Hallie's Fancy Nancy party and had a great time! Addy wore her tiara backwards the entire time. I love this picture of all the cute little kids on the couch.

Dress-ups are always a favorite. This outfit is particularly sassy! I love the tank-top, underwear, boot combo.

Photobucket
I love how her belly pokes out in this mermaid costume!

And you can't have dress-ups without a little dancing!

Some other fun stuff we did this summer that I have no pictures of, swimming lessons at the Wave House Athletic Club (I know I have at least one picture, but can't find it!) which was right near Mission Beach and Belmont Park. We also loved the free summer movies with friends and lots of trips to the park. We had a great summer!

She is sooo cute! She looks so much like you did as a kid. Someday I will have to meet her.

She is such a little girl now! Sounds like a great summer. Tell Ryan his hat is gross. :)

I have forgotten to check out your blog for a little bit. I'll need to come back to read more, just wanted to say that Zarina needs to go in for her first dentist appointment and I am so worried about how she will behave. Last time we went to the dentist we kept her in the rooms with us so she could see that everything was good and not scary. I really worry about her though.
