Library with Madison

Last Saturday morning, Michelle and I took Audrey Claire and Madison to the Crystal Springs Library. The girls had a great time playing and reading together! I really want to make it a point to take Audrey Claire to the library more. She loves for you to read her a book these days. The teacher in me LOVES that!

Doing a little reading...

and dancing!

Jackie came by to visit us and read to Audrey Claire...

and colored with her too!

"I can do it all by myself."

She loves trying to trace her hand.

This is one of the few pictures of Madison I got. She was a busy little girl the whole time we were there!

Monkey see, Monkey do!

Pool Time

While we were in Crystal Springs this past weekend, Audrey Claire got to swim with ReRe and Pops. This is something she loved last summer but hasn't really shown interest in this summer. Until now. She had a blast splashing and kicking her feet. Hopefully, now that she enjoys it again, we will get to swim a few more times before summer is over. Here's evidence she had fun~

Ice

This past Friday morning, Audrey Claire and I loaded the car and headed north to Crystal Springs. On the way out of town, we stopped by Sonic to get a drink for the road. After pulling in and without me saying anything, Audrey Claire immediately said "I'nt ice" which means "I want ice." Does this mean we go there too much?

Here she is with her ice~

I like the fact that she likes ice so much. It's a healthy little snack that keeps her occupied for a long time. Plus if it spills, it's just water!
This is her "say cheese" face.
By the way, she didn't have a bow in her hair because it was still wet. I know some of you were wondering:)

Where's Audrey? part 2

Like I said in an earlier post, Audrey Claire's new favorite thing to do is hide and scare people. Here's this week's edition of "Where's Audrey Claire?"

Where's Audrey Claire????

"Boo!" There she is!

Family Time

This past weekend, Seth and I enjoyed some much needed alone time on the coast. He was off for the weekend (a very rare thing for the past two years) and our anniversary was last Thursday. A big shout out to Michelle and Madison! They came down and stayed with Audrey Claire so we could get away. We enjoyed outlet mall shopping and a way too much amazing food. We had so much fun, we never even got out the camera. We were just enjoying the quiet time together. We did take snap one quick picture with Seth's phone while we were eating. Here was our view from our table at lunch-

We got home Sunday afternoon just in time to pick up Audrey Claire and head to Seth's work picnic. We really enjoyed spending time with his co-workers. We ate and got to spend a little time playing in the "wa-wa" (water). Audrey Claire had a blast! I wish I could say I have lots of pictures of her playing in the water and a cute picture of an even cuter little boy playing in the sand. But, for the majority of the day, I was taking pictures without a memory card in the camera and it has no internal memory! When I realized what I was doing, the day was almost over. I did manage to catch a few good ones. Here she is after changing out of her swimsuit. All that playing makes a little girl thirsty!

She had her first Capri Sun experience. I think she had three throughout the day:) I am sure there will be many of these to follow.

She found someone's golf club and ball. I was amazed at how she knew what to do with it! Oh and please excuse her lack of clothing. It was hot out there!
A fun weekend playing with Aunt Michelle and Madison+getting up at 5:30 am+ playing outside and in the water all afternoon= one hot and tired little girl.
