princess polly by the sea, a walk or two and the splash pad.

still playing catch up.... but almost there!

each day we take a family stroll.... 

we stop at little bridges with streams flowing under to watch the duckies swim.

she likes to be a "roller derby girl" till i want to take her picture. then she gets all tude-y.

sometimes paper painting turns into face painting

batman for dad.

the moustached males.

dear wanlass/ obrien friends ventured over for a GREAT night of business doings and barbequings.

whole foods charcoals in a different language.

who has the best ant penny in the whole wide world?!?! 

US! DUH!

she came across this little gem while out antique-ing and of course snatched it right up. good job her! for it is one of our princess pollys faves!

apparently my husbands thinks i have dirty feet and am lazy.

he brought this home for me one day.

what a gem.

we have spent many a sunny afternoon at the new splash pad by our pad.

its a blast.

cutest little bum that i ever did see.

she does a mighty fine job of always helping out her little "bordder."

on some of our walks, we pack a blanket and snacks to be prepared for any parks that may come our way.

we ditched the double stroller a while back for a single since polly never wanted to sit in it. 

now, she always wants to sit in it. so this is her new spot.

sharing my "pink hot lava" drink w her.

its pink guava.

we made sure to play birdies.

then "strawberry shortcake" collected "strawberry seeds"

while boy played soccer w daddy.

and i laid on the blanket and enjoyed the shade that this tree was nice enough to share with me.

pollys preschool graduation

thats what this one is about:
my sweet little not a baby anymore nugget had her preschool graduation!

they did a little performance. sang and did little jigs to a couple of songs then got their diplomas.

yes, i teared up. duh! its me.

ted wanted to be a part of the show.

her "all about me" poster. apparently she thinks we are african american.

the one w the finger up her nose? that ones mine. shes a keeper!

receiving her diploma.

polly and her sweet teacher miss sam.

grama gwen and grampa lindsay w the graduate.

polly with her bestie holly.

after, we had a celebratory lunch at pollys restaurant of choice. which was of course.... cafe rio. forget mc donalds or chuck e cheese. 

doug and alison

they came to visit and we had lots of fun. we did nothing super special, just a lot of regular hanging out, walking around the mall and going out to eat. they were here for pollys graduation which will be my next post, we went on a double date MG was so nice as to come down and spend an eve w the smalls, spent a day in park city and some time at gardner village.

i think my dear sister-in-love is gorgeous so i spent lots of time taking photes of her.
you will notice.... almost all of these are her.

this one is my fave.

as are these

at the movies date night.

oh, those are just my rad shoes.

iv had these for over a year and am just now realizing how much i love them.

then we had dinner here. it was deeeeevine.

gardner village day.

and or course, i followed poor alison around with my camera pointed in her face the entire time.

its a wonder that she still liked me after this day.

what a trooper!

serious convo w the polster.

oh what? you want me to go in there? DONE, you got me.

anyone that knows anything about me, knows that although im crazy about our organical natural-ness, i can NOT, under ANY circumstances turn down a magical morsel of chocolate.

the next day they left, and yet again, we were all heart broken to see them go.

until next time my dears.... until next time.

which will be very soon! yay!
