Memorial Day Weekend

Lauren decided to collect as many ants as she could, by hand. She probably caught 8 or 9 and put them in her bug house! She also got pretty good at tball and had so much fun trying to do EVERYTHING that her cousin, Chloe, would do. Here she is waiting for an ant to to come out of the crack in the concrete so she can catch it.



Among other things, Aunt Amanda found a tutu and fairy wings for Lauren. This may have been Lauren's favorite part about the weekend, she kept running around fluttering her arms saying, "I'm flying like a butterfly!" Most of these pictures show just the tutu but I'll find one of the entire outfit and post it.

Memorial Day Weekend

We had so much fun with Uncle Wayne, Aunt Amanda, Chloe, Grandma and Grandpa V and Grandma Miller! The pool and water guns were a big hit, Lauren also enjoyed chasing Chloe around and around the pool.

Summer is here!

Sunday's temperature reached 88 degrees so we decided to break out the inflatable pool, which this year looks a lot smaller than before.
Lauren had Shoshana and Eden over to play in the pool and enjoy her Hello Kitty sprinkler.Eden and Lauren

Lauren found a pair of goggles that her cousin, Chloe, left at her house last year and thought it would be a great idea to wear them while running through the sprinkler.

The Zoo

On Sunday Mommy, Daddy and Lauren went to the zoo to see the animals, ride the carousel, and enjoy a picnic!

Reds Game in the Suite

The Reds are in first place and Daddy treated Lauren, Grandpa V and Mommy to a game in the suite. Lauren had all her favorites, hot dogs, pretzels, peanuts (in the shell), pizza, tortilla chips, ice cream and even fireworks. Unfortunately the Reds played the Brewers and the Reds won.

Mmmm peanuts in the shell...

and ice cream!


Lauren isn't too happy to be that close to these weird baseball headed people

Watching the game with Grandpa V

It's 10:15 and she's still watching the game

Waiting patiently on the FIREWORKS!

Lauren's first Reds game and first game in a Suite, let's hope she doesn't think they're all like this.

Girly Girl



Lauren has definitely turned into a "girly girl" when it comes to dressing up. She is always sure to have jewlery on and bows in her hair at all times...makes me wonder what she'll dress her baby brother in.

A Day at the Zoo

Reading the map to be sure we know the way to the Elephants

She's become pretty enthralled with letters so ANYTHING with letters is interesting. Here she is reading about the foliage.
