More Summer Fun!!

*** I guess I neglected to mention where I got Mia's black dress in the fit throwing pics. That too is from Gap. It is such a cute dress-- they also have it in a cream with black accents-- very cute. It is part of the black and white collection. It came out a few weeks ago. I do really love this dress and it looks sooooooo cute on!!!

Summer is on us and we are already really enjoying ourselves. We are into cousins coming over and sleep overs and pizza and movies and of course-- Disneyland (next week). We are really just enjoying the down time and it has only been since Wednesday so I am really looking forward to the next 2 and a half months!!!

Anyway, since I have so much time just hanging out in the back yard I have been taking a lot of pictures. I have picked out some of my favorites but if you want to sit through a slide show I will put a slide show with all the pictures at the end.

Gotta love mamma's drink

Loving her grapes!!

Watching the older kids play

Mia loves her shopping cart-- skateboards and all!!

Watch me do my tricks!!

Love these shoes-- Gap-- tons of colors (they even come in gold-- which I had to locate in Arizona and have them shipped because I cannot live without a cute gold thong- goes with everything)

More slide time

Go Lakers!!!

I think this is a cool picture

OK, before you see the next few pictures I must explain. Mia was in a cute dress and before it got trashed (like all her clothes do after she wears them for 10 minutes) I wanted to take a few cute pictures of it. Mia did not like that idea and started throwing a fit-- a big one. It did not last very long but it was so funny I had to document it. So please do not think I am a sadist-- I'm not. This was just really funny!!

This is how it began!

This is Mia running away from me with her arms in the air flailing them back and forth crying. She ran around the bar area once and then plopped herself on the ground in front of me still throwing a fit.

This is where she plopped down

Then she rolled onto the grass and began crying and rolling around there.

This fit was so totally unprovoked and funny. After I picked her up she was still upset but calmed down pretty fast. When she throws fits I typically just let her and when she appears to be done I then approach her. It seems to work well with her.

We had a birthday party yesterday at Brian and Heathers and Mia wore her cute itsy bitsy teeny weeny yellow polka dot bikini that she wore for the first time that day!!

Mia loves to float in the water by herself. Look in the background and you will see Kevin is attending to her so she is not really by herself-- just in case some of you were concerned :)

We had fathers day this afternoon at our house and we had both sides of the family over. It was a great time but I was so busy running around making home made ice cream and getting all the food prepared that I totally did not take any pictures-- sorry but I'm sure there will be more to come in the near future.

Hope you all had a great Fathers Day!!
