I got a new phone earlier in the summer that has come in quite handy when I need to snap a picture or two to capture a memory. The camera on it is not bad so it works out well. Although, it has made me more lax about keeping my camera handy. I have such a variety of pictures that I have taken on my phone that I thought I would put on here for the sake of memories and for anyone who may be interested in seeing them.... All random and they are not from any one event, just fun stuff...
 |
| My dear friend, Dana, had twin boys in early April....They are completely precious. Jackson and Jacob. They are of course bigger than this now. |
 |
| Elaina cuddled up with Jax one early morning in our bed. So sweet! |
 |
| Me and Elaina, just playing with the phone |
 |
| Again, being silly with the phone |
 |
| At our old house, Peonies are my favorite. These are from my (old) garden. These were bulbs that came from my great grandmother's garden in St. Louis, MO. My mom brought them here then gave me some. I love to cut them and put them in a jar. So pretty. |
 |
| Some time in May, Liana came over to spend the night. They dressed up like princesses and insisted that I take them on a wagon ride through the neighborhood. I did. |
 |
| Next, it was sprinkler time.... |
 |
| At the zoo for my company's picnic - this was the same day she graduated from Pre-K. She was working up the courage to hold this butterfly. I love the look on her face. She did end up holding it but cried the whole time she did. |
 |
| We went to the festival of reading at the world fair park in May. She loved putting her feet in the fountain. |
 |
| At gymnastics.... |
 |
| On the way to the beach... sacked out. |
 |
| One day before school - she picked this outfit out herself.... |
 |
| They had "Hawaii Day" at school one day... this is her get up. She is wearing her Kukui beads that we got in Hawaii years ago. |
 |
| just swimming... I forgot my suit at this particular party so I sat out.... |
 |
| Elaina and her friend Olivia went to VBS in June. They LOVED it. |
 |
| kind of dark but this is them singing and doing motions in the seats where we sat |
 |
| getting ready for their performance. I thought I had video of this but I am not used to my phone yet and it was not recording the whole time I thought it was. Bummer. |
 |
| Another night at gymnastics.... |
 |
| The week before we closed on our house, my mom and Gale bought this lake house - SWEET! Lots of lake time on our future :) |
 |
| We spent the fourth of July there... the gang hanging out in the lake |
 |
| Elaina swimming... |
 |
| She is really into giving the peace sign when she takes pictures lately |
 |
| We did smores over the grill.... Elaina with Alexandra |
 |
| Kate and my mom, Granny |
 |
| Who doesn't love smores??? |
 |
| After we left the lake on July 4th, we went to some friends house for fireworks. They moved here a little less than a year ago and have not ever lived anywhere that you can buy fireworks. So, they went a little nuts and bought a bunch. We benefited from the purchase by enjoying them. |
 |
| Elaina with her sparkler and daddy |
 |
| This is how she watched the fireworks... a vast improvement over years past. At least there are no tears. |
 |
| Dylan, Lauren, and Elaina |
 |
| Her birthday.. July 6th. I think I mentioned in the last post that we ate at Ingles Deli. Here is a pic to prove it - peace sign and all.... |
 |
| Liana spent the night last Friday night. Always a fun time.. More smores... made with Nutella but, hey, it works! |
 |
| Elaina at church wearing her outfit that her Aunt Kate got her for her birthday. she loves it. I think it is pretty cute |
That about covers all the pics I wanted to share.... Sorry, it was a long post. I still have to post memories from her b-day party. I'll get to that soon.
