Pool Party

We went to a birthday party last Saturday for one of Katy's friends Brooke...she turned 6! It was at the Johnstown pool and we were really lucky because the weather was stormy all day but broke just as the party started!! Although Miss Brooke was so busy playing with all of the kids I couldn't get Katy and her together for a picture.

This is Meg...Katy is her little shadow! I love this kid!!

4th of July

We spent the holiday weekend out in Cardington with Nana Neesie's family on their family farm. We had a wonderful time camping, fishing and eating smores by the fire and best of all - spending time with our family!

Daddy and Aunt Bobo were excited to teach Katy how to fish and she LOVED it! Papa Lin bought her her own Barbie fishing pool which became the lucky pole of the weekend!

Her 1st fish!

These boots were made for walking...

Katy got cowboy boots while we were in Missouri and she LOVES them, but there aren't many opportunities to be able to wear them in the summer. Although she insisted on putting them on to play outside and I couldnt say "No", she looks so cute in them!!

Can you guess why she has that scowl on her face? May be its because I have the camera out again...bad Mommy!

She lightened up after awhile!

Pool time!

The Dean family recommended the New Albany community pool and so Katy and I went today for some girl time!! (Todd went out to play with his Daddy!!) So after nap time, we went to the pool and had a blast:) This girl is fearless and just had an awesome time playing and meeting new friends. This pool is ideal for little kids and is like a mini water park for a great price! Two thumbs up in my book!!


Our timing was off in the beginning and just after she got started to play it was rest period - although a snack was a bribe to keep her happy until she could get back in.






Even the tunnel slides didn't intimidate her!


Time to go, but we will be back!

Papa Lin & Nana Neesie are in town!

Todd's Dad and step-Mom are in town from Missouri for the 4th of July and so the fun begins! Of coarse they brought Katy presents and she took no time in getting them open and on to the next.






Story time!

Happy Father's Day!!

While we were in Missouri a month ago I got Katy's 2 year pictures taken...and I had some special ones taken for Todd that were a surprise. So I had a collage made from them and they can hang in his office in our new house. He loved the pics and I think was speechless when he opened his present!!







If you double click on this pic you can see it full size and get a better look at the collage.

Happy Father's Day Papa!!
