Hopscotch

It's really hot in Oklahoma, but both Katelyn and I love being outside. I hate having to put sunscreen on her every time we go out though and then coming in and later having to wash it off with a bath. So I usually try to find ways to keep her in the shade. One day we went out and the shady area was just right next to our garage so I drew a hopscotch to play with her and keep her in that area. I think she had fun, I did :)

 You can tell she's hot right? The heat and humidity just curl her hair in the back and make her get all red!

 Getting ready to start

 She didn't get what to do with the rock at first so she would give it to me and I'd show her

Picking up the rock.. learning the game took some practice ;)

 Trying to hop haha she's so funny

 Her turn to draw with the chalk

Last week was the first time we took Katelyn to the movie theaters. She did awesome. I took this picture right before we left, but it was for a different purpose. She has her little Winnie the Pooh and I wanted a picture with her and Winnie because we were going to go see the Winnie the Pooh movie. Originally that's the movie we wanted to see, but instead we decided it would be smarter to see a 2 dollar movie on her first time in case things backfired.

So next time we go it will probably be to see Winnie the Pooh. She has all the stuffed animals from DisneyWorld- tigger, winnie, and eeyore (still working on getting piglet from the disney store, that'll be a good 2nd bday present) She was so excited when I told her we were going to watch the Winnie movie, if you can't tell from the picture. Every time the commercials come on she says, "WIIINNIEE!! EEEE (for eeyore)" this time we saw Rio though, and she liked it (until about the last 25 mins ;) ). Can't wait to see the winnie movie with her now!

Ellie!

My sister (the one I always talk about) had her baby girl! She is so so cute and I can't wait to go meet her in August! We as a family are taking a big trip out to Colorado, then Utah, then flying to Washington. It should be a fun little vacation!
Ellie, full name Elizabeth LuAnn Walser, was born on June 25th 2011. She is the first niece or nephew I have from my side of the family so I was pretty excited. Here are some cute pictures of her:

I'm so happy for my sister and her little family. She is an awesome mom I can already tell. I can't wait for Katelyn to have another little best friend. :)

Happy Fourth of July!

We had a wonderful Fourth of July weekend. Did the usual, go to the parade, go out to breakfast (a family tradition of mine.. one i love :D ), we had a barbeque with some friends, and finished it off with some nice fireworks.
This first collage is just some pictures I took of Katelyn on Sunday. She was eating a pop tart and was just so happy and smiley.

 At the Parade:

 I love her hand haha, she waves with it kind of turned down.

 Enjoying the parade, surprisingly it wasn't that hot

 Katelyn having a good time

 Out at ihop, Katelyn waited patiently for her food watching a movie on Nick's phone

 Watching the fireworks!

 She liked them :)

 All together

It turned out to be a wonderful Fourth of July, as always!
