These videos speak for themselves.

This first video is my first day doing (ISR) rescue swimming... I was a little uneasy...


And this second video...
2016 Summer Olympics - LOOK OUT!! HERE. I. COME.
(And by the way, mommy cried with amazement watching me swim today. She was very proud of me!!)

This is why Daddy's are so much fun!!!



Oh, why yes, a dance would be lovely, thank you!!



And, for our final number... a little tap dance... AAAAAAAAand a little break.



And then back in for the FINALE...


TaaDaa!!

MMmmm!!













Cupcakes, anyone??




Happy Birthday, Julia!!

Some of you have been asking wondering if I'm going to have straight hair?
I'm going with NO!!













And in case you didn't catch that, here's a CU of my REVOLUTION!!
See, it's what my Mommy always says, it just takes longer for curly hair to grow because it has to make an entire revolution before it gets longer!!

Dad took me and Michael and Michael's Dad to the TRUCK SHOW!!!
It was really cool!!! Even for a girl like me.













They had one truck that just dumped beach balls!!! How cool is that!!??!!































Magic 8 Ball... Will I marry Michael one day???













Michael and I got to do some crafts with golf tees!!













And watch back-hoe's...













OOOhhhh.... AAAAAhhhh....













The back-hoe's are Michael's favorite....



















And here's my belly button! Yup! Still there.



















Michael in the back of a police car!!
Hope that's the only time you'll ever see him there!!!



















And here he is getting his Sheriff badge! Not a criminal, after all.













And the MONSTER TRUCK!!!!!!













AND ANOTHER MONSTER TRUCK!!!!













AAANNND my belly button. Just checkiiiing... Still there.



















And then finally, the HONDA!!
OH, wait, that's our car, here we are on our way home... juice cups and snacks for one and all.













THANKS FOR A MONSTER FUN DAY, DADS!!!

Happy Father's Day to the BEST











































in the WHOLE wide world!!
I LOVE YOU, DADA!!

For the last month I've been taking survival swimming lessons (ISR www.infantswim.com ) and let me just say, if I may, that I am a champion swimmer!!
You'll have to check back in a few weeks for video proof, but here's a few shots, in the meantime, of what I'm learning...
Here I am floating on my back... this was really hard to learn!! You shoulda heard me whine the first two days. YES!!! That's really ME floating by MYSELF out there! Whoo-hoo!!




























...and then I have to flip myself over and swim to the edge!!!!!














I am so proud of myself!!! Yay, Ever!!!!














HIGH FIVE!!

Have you EVER seen bloomed arthichokes??

I guess we waited a little too long to pick our last few and look what happened!!!

Just a girl and her dog.
