addylan's dollhouse party

addylan had the coolest little birthday party at the dollhouse. the girls got to dress up and change outfits, have a tea party, play with guitars, have a fashion show, and eat cake and ice cream. when the party ended, amanda and i took the girls to eat pizza at hideaway.


kiss the frog and it just might turn into a handsome prince!

it's sooo carrie!

dillan looking adorable sporting her new little outfit. the flower reminds me of something that carrie bradshaw from sex and the city would sport. thank you grandfather wizard for your superb sense of fashion. xoxo

girls dinner and.. a box?!

dill and i met grandma "jay jay" and hot cousin casie for dinner last night on brookside. we had chicken, salmon, mashed potatoes, mac and cheese, and salad. afterwards, casie came over to hang out, and dillan played with the box that claire gave to her. these photos are courtesy of casie.

water baby

dillan spent an evening with grandma and grandpa johnson's house. they swam at great grandma mullin's pool, pushed her new cart around, and played in the sprinklers!

summer's 5th night

thursday night concerts @ utica square are my favorite thing about summertime. that, and the pool! dillan has a blast people watching and dancing.

happy 32nd birthday da-da!!

father's day weekend!

friday night we went swimming, playing with the puppy, and fireworks at the new ballpark downtown. we, of course, ended the evening with a phenominal episode of friday night lights!



saturday was a heat advisory day so we went to pete and kathie's pool and then came home and played on the front porch. that evening, we met mike and patty at charleston's on brookside for father's day dinner.







on sunday (yay father's day) we all loaded up and headed to see grandfather wizard and papa over at aunt bo's. they made chicken fried steak, mashed potatoes, and green beans.






that evening, we picked up some to-go food from el rio verde and took it to abuelo. dillan got him some mint and double fudge milanos. yum yum.


needless to say, dillan was exhausted after all of our father's day activity. she cuddled up with her dora book and called it a night!


happiest father's day to all of the wonderful men in our lives!
