Family

Boy, did we have fun with our Minnesota cousins! They drove all the way here to Atlanta to visit us! It was a very hot week...AGAIN...so we had to stay by the water!

First night they got here we went to the pool here in our community

We tried going to a park on one of the days but it was just too hot! We did not stay at the park very long!

We all posed for the nice park picture....all of us except for Mimi...

Ahhhhh, popsicles...nothing better on a hot day!

One of the days we just stayed home and ran the sprinklers and played with the water table...

Mimi is watching very closely...

Hank and his "boys" Joey and Thomas resting after all the sprinkler runs

We had a little indoor fun with the Wii.

Then we went to a sprinkler park on another day....

And a little more indoor fun with coloring books, crayons and markers. Of course, Mimi was enjoying a snack...

So much fun! We hated to see them go! Hank still says "I miss Joey" every day...thanks for a great visit!

Hello! We have been busy re-decorating our family room! Daddy even taught me how to use a roller (probably because any future paint jobs will be my responsibility!) :)

We will show you the finished product soon!

Yep-that's me eating a raw spear of asparagus...Grandpa Wayne-aren't you proud!

So Mimi really makes my time-outs not seem so bad...she always comes and sits with me...and as you will see in the video below....I love her for it!

Daddy and me enjoying a nice little luncheon...I had to dress for the occasion!

These faces may look sweet...but .....

Mom took a pic as I was preparing the meal for Daddy and me...

Hank with his famous #1 move...

Well, Mimi did not escape the food allergies like we hoped. She had Sunbutter on her bagel (a sunflower seed spread that we use in place of peanut butter-since Hank can't have it). All it took was one touch and she got hives on her hand which made her itchy, which then made her itch her eyes and they puffed up with hives and got all red. (And this pic was taking well after the medicine took effect). It's a good thing we had medicine on hand that we use for Hank. I guess we will have to get her tested for others next time we visit the allergist! Poor Mimi!

Hank was busy playing with my bike so I got to be in the Jeep all by myself!

A little brother-sister love!

Happy 4th of July!

We spend a lot of time at the park early these days...it gets too hot later...I love the big slides...

And the big trees!

And I still love to wear the costumes (this is Handy Manny meets Super Why)...but i think Mommy needs to invest in some princess/girly costumes...what do you think??

Mimi's princess hair set comes in handy when Daddy needs a new do :) I am drying and Mimi is ready to use the straightener :)

Mim and I share a moment...

And then Mimi needs to get busy making dinner with Mommy!

4th of July at our friend Addison and Alexis' house. Mr. Jeff is fun to play with!

I loved cooling off in the pool!

All our friends. From left to right, Bryson, me, Mimi, Alexis and Addison.

My first time with a sparkler!

A big thanks to Mr.Rob who created this awesome water slide for us. What a way to keep cool on such a hot day...and have a lot of fun!
