Summer Lovin.

Can I ever express how much I love summer?  I love the heat, the water, the AC and the zoo being open at nights....  With face painting...

ZOO

fossil prints...


and our fave which is the dancing...

I do love summer, but could do w/o the rain, but as long as it happens around nap time, I won't complain too much.



Lily has an obsession with long pants and/or knee highs....even to the water park - I choose to choose my battles.



What?  You've never seen Cinderella fishing?

and there's summer parties in WPB every week too with fountains and live music.

one of my fave pix ever...they stood here slowly swaying , people watching, shaking their hips while holding hands forever.  be still my heart.

Lily is always trying to keep Grady in line...good luck with that Lily pie...

hide and go seek.

my 2 dudes...

and my 2 hearts...

life is good.

photo album

i love this pic jen took of Grady at the water park.

this boy loves to climb...and eat toothpaste....lil can never believe his mischievous ways.
what?

side by side look at trouble...

oh how i love country concerts...i scream sing so loud i almost lose my voice!



be still my heart.

Annual Dave Matthews concert last year will be 2nd annual this year....

love the train rides at the mall.



my mom loves pics from behind so I'm a fan of them now too.

see what I mean?  Grady has an internal clock and knows when to expect David.  You could set your watch to when David gets home and G has that sense too.

Jen snapped this hilarious photo from the reunion....



did i mention i love ANY concert at Cruzan?  which is around the corner from our house.  bingo.

and milkshakes afterwards :)



zoo paint.



Grady calls it Chuck Chuck Cheese and Papa calls it Chunky Cheese.  I have a hard time calling it Chuck E Cheese anymore.

hands down, my fave swim trunks of g



G and his Godmother....

yeehaw



speech help for the lillers...


life is good.

Random fun...

Moments like this take my breath away (and I try to recall this in my memory when someone is screaming in my ear)

Jammie day at school...with Hello Kitty as her sidekick....

and Grandpa lets Lily do whatever she wants too...(in sweetest way possible)


horsey time.
these 2 crack me up...




Lily talks about Elliot on a regular basis and wears glasses in his honor...

she can't wait for soccer to start again the fall...Grady is envious too.

this is the wallpaper on my phone.  be still my heart.


she has soccer in her veins ... oh i love me some Julie Booley!!

summer cleaning

catching up and cleaning up, most of these pictures dont need a caption, but have to be posted for the cuteness and memory making factor!

this is how lily stood in front of the goal the ENTIRE time she played goalie....her legs and hands didnt move.best shirt ever from allison...

i know i'll miss these cute outfits next year when she goes to uniforms, but i wont miss deciding what to wear.

think i've posted these before, but just in case i havent.
somehow she got on a necklace and bracelet on for the picture...she didnt leave the house with those on. lol




i'll never get over this similarity of lils and me in 3rd grade.

lily looks like she's wearing a strapless dress, but i assure you it's not.
and yes G is topless here. lol
she looks so little here.
