The painted soul

The food

I dont even want to know how many calories I consumed today...


















We then had to of coarse finish the night with some ice cream...



















Then we decided on trying a fried white castle burger and fries...














Then we had a fried twinkie...















We first started with fried zucchini...

One year later...

Brooklyn, Tara and I went to the fair today. Here is some comparissions from 2007 and 2008.

Jackson

here are our last few playdate with Jackson. Jackson taught Brooklyn how to jump off the couch and Brooklyn taught Jackson how to use the potty...fair trade off!

The 4th

swimming lessons

We started swimming lessons this week and we are enjoying every second of them. It is so much fun to do mommy and me lessons in the same pool where my mom did them with me when I was 18 months old. Brooklyn is needless to say a fish. Brooklyn just like her father and has water running through her veins, she wakes up in the moring asking to go to swimming lessons. It also works well as a tool, "If you dont stop you cant go to swimming lessons"!
Brooklyn's favorite games are jumping in and playing "humpty dumpty sat on the wall"

Brooklyn and I are staying really busy this summer. We have filled our days with tons of playdates, trips to disney, visiting the zoo, listening to storytime at the Huntington beach library, beach days, swimming lessons and the fair starts on friday!!!

otter pops and somersalts

Brooklyn's HUGE obsession over the last few weeks is trying to eat as many otter pops in one day as she can, and finally conquering the somersault. I regret giving Brooklyn her first otter pop because all i hear ALL day is "mama otter pop". She eats at least 3 a day and she HAS to pick the color...green being her favorite! Yesterday she finally was able to kick her feet over her head and do a perfect somersalt! She has been doing sideways ones for a while but now she is a pro!!! I need to get this girl into a tumbling class ASAP!!!
