Summer fun!

It's been a long time since I've posted! So, I've got a lot of catching up to do. Lots of pics for this post, but also a lot of journaling, so just skip all of that. I just need to start blogging more before I forget. This has been a fun summer for the most part. Londyn will be two on the 25th and I seriously cannot believe it! This is a super fun age. She's learning new things and I love to be the one to introduce her to those new things. She is finally talking more than signing and it's been a blast to hear her put things together. My three favorite things she says is, "Mmm, nummy!" "There it is" and "Oh, cute!" I was getting her dressed this morning and she stood up, looked down at her shirt, and said "oh cute!" Then when I came outta my bedroom after getting comfy's on, she said it again. Too funny! So, here are a few things we've been doing to keep ourselves busy while Tagg is away. I'll post more about that later.

This is Londyn's first time playing with play-dough. We had so much fun and it even came with a little duffle bag to store everything in. She loved rolling it out and then cutting out shapes.

If you remember, she got this fun musical bike for her birthday last year from two of our neighbors. It has absolutely been one of her favorite things! I've had it in the house for her to ride around, but decided to let her ride it outside. As you can see, she was super excited!

Okay, seriously I'm not an artist AT ALL!!! So, please don't laugh at my sorry attempts for side-walk chalk kitty and puppy. But hey, at least Lou knows what they are right? :o) She loves to color and side-walk chalk is no different. She'll bring me the chalk and say "Meow?" then after I draw the kitty, she hands it to me again and says, "ruff?" She will then go play for a bit and then come back to say hi to the cat and dog. She has even gotten down on her belly to say hi and give them kisses.

My friend, Heidi was so nice to give us this fun slide. Sadly, it's the only backyard toy since we know we're moving, Tagg won't let us get anything yet so we don't have to pack it up. :o) But, this has been great to keep Lond entertained. She'll throw her ball down it and then run and get her baby cuz she wants to share the fun. Lond will sit there for a minute sometimes with her arms up and will say, one...two...three (kind of says it anyways) and then slide down.

And what's a summer without bubbles? I found a little bubble maker that I thought you could just set on the ground and it would blow them out. Oops, that's what I get for not reading the directions. You have to dip it into the bubbles and then it's like one of those mini fans. Luckily Tagg was there to get it working for us. Lou was loving it, too!
