Our new good/ bad habit....

AS I was recently grocery shopping, I saw an in store coupon for a buy 4 get 2 things free in ice cream & popsicles! Plus they were at a great reduced price!! What better things can you ask for- ice cream & Popsicles at a great price!! One of the things I saw were these Slow melt Mighty Minis popsicles, so I'd thought I'd try them for Ella:). She LOVES them!! & I love them because they are the perfect size for her hand & they slow melt & do not drip:)!! NO MESS!:) I also got Daniel & I our favorite kinds of ice cream:). Now we all can enjoy an after dinner summer treat with no mess:)! If you have toddlers/preschoolers, you should try these popsicles!! A great summer treat!

My two favorites pics of the week:)

Giving Daddy his Father's day gift & getting a special gift in return:)

Happy Father's Day!!!!

As a surprise for Daniel for Father's Day, I went & got a picture done
with Ella for Dan's desk at work. This is the one I chose:)
Her shirt says "Daddy's little girl":)

My second favorite:)

I love how they capture so many cute poses-
It makes you want to choose them all:)!!

I love this new prop! I will have to have a
"fancy" dress picture done with it sometime:)

Teethy, cheesy smile:)

Big smile like Daddy's:) Do you see that last tooth stubbornly coming in!
She is so drooly & snotty this week because of it:)

Just a quick shoutout to the WORLD"S BEST HUSBAND & DADDY! Thank you sweetheart! & also a Big Happy Father's Day to my own Daddy & Father-in-law!

A Summer blessing......

A neighbor gave this playhouse to Ella since their kids have outgrown it. Ella absolutely LOVES playing in it! She would play all day & then sleep in their if we let her:).

Anyone want to come over for a tea party:)?

They also gave us this picnic table & Ella enjoyed putting our
many thousands of pinecones on it for lunch:)

Our garden is coming along very well:)!
