Celebrating, Playing, and Just Loving Life

This should probably be multiple posts, however, there is no time for blogging with a 19 month old diva baby running around. So here goes...

This girl could live outside and right now she is obsessed with stars. She asks us to draw them on everything.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Harlen has joined gymnastics, along with a couple of her friends. It has been a great learning experience for her. I think she is really starting to like it and get excited about the new things each week.

Ta-da. Summer is here. Maybe not summer, exactly. But it is HOT.

A BFF makes pool time much more fun!

Sign of teenage years to come???

Running from huge geese at an Instagram meetup picnic we had at White Rock Lake recently.

She loves trike rides. Soon she will be able to pedal without me pushing.

My Mother's day present that I COULD NOT be more in love with! Two reasons... 1. How precious is this homemade present from H? It is so cute and anything that she makes me is more special than anything store bought could ever be. 2. I love that Garrett went to Hobby Lobby with H to go get the kit to make this, THEN did this project with her "help". The only thing that could have made this better, would have been pictures of them doing this together. I am IN LOVE. They did such a great job!

Mother's day dinner. What a great Mother's day.

Phemister family. Can't avoid how awkward the height difference is!!

3 generations on Mother's day!

At dinner, chasing a bunny with daddy. (So mommy could eat and drink her wine!)

Look, mom! Ducks. I have the best video of her yelling at the ducks, telling them to "Go, go, go!!" but blogger wouldn't load it. Darn.

Arboretum! The glass sculpture exhibit was so cool!!

Dancing on the steps. Who doesn't love the arboretum?!

Such a great day with my girl and our bffs.

We tried out a splash park today. Can you tell H was enthused?

Lilly, Alayna and H

She had more fun during the snack break.

This post fits us well right now. Nothing major or a big milestone going on, but just loving the little things as a mom and a family. She is talking more and more lately. It is the cutest thing when she repeats a word that you never knew she could say before. We are beyond blessed and enjoying watching her turn into a little girl. :) Toddlerhood sure does bring on some fun things!
