Summer Time!

It's summer time and we have taken advantage of practically every opportunity go do and play and enjoy the season. I haven't even been able to get pictures of it all. AND we still have more summer to go! I'm loving this time of the year and this particular summer because Kelsey is so much fun. She has a willing and playful spirit and a no fear attitude that makes for exciting and funny moments. I don't think I want this summer to end!



Kelsey got to meet her very first television star this summer. I think it may have been the best day in her two year life!



I've been baking. A. Lot. Cookies, cakes, cupcakes. And, I'm going to take a cake decorating class in August. Can't wait!

This was from July 4th. We went to a friend's house and just hung out for awhile. No fireworks for us. We didn't want to try and do the whole "keep your 2 year old up 2 hours past her bedtimes to see if she likes watching and listening to loud explosions" thing.



This was on July 4th, but it could be a picture from any week this summer. Kelsey loves any pool we take her to and shows no fear of the water.

Can you say 'mug shot'?

This is the extent of our fireworks this year.



Okay, so this place is one of the sweetest I've been to. It's called the Iris Tea Room and it's located in Irvington. And, I love it. Look at this little tea cup filled with water that they brough out just for Kelsey!



I love these birds. It's a good thing I don't believe in stealing...

A delish lunch of chicken salad on a croissant, sald with rasberry vinigarette dressing and a bowl of fruit with a slice of tea bread. a.k.a. So good.

Sweet girl.

This is Kelsey. This...is just who she is.

Kelsey is now relocated into her new big girl bedroom. The theme is butterflies which came about because of these butterflies that I won from a giveaway.

Table is from IKEA. Quilt on top is made by Grandma Lu.



This was one of our trips to the zoo with Grandma Lu.

♥ this.

All in all, it's been great and we still have a trip to Holland, Michigan, the state fair and a few other outings planned!
