What started with Mommy making the bed turned into a 6 pillow "clubhouse" complete with its own library of books, Teddy, a magic wand, and the all important magnifying glass.

We spent the day at a family reunion and Alivia made quick friends with her second cousin, Aiden. For being a pre-teen, he was a great sport and let Alivia chase him for hours!

Everybody into the pool!
All that swimming made us hungry for pizza at Uncle Ben and Aunt Julie's.

Alivia spent the morning running errands with Nana and Papa which of course included ice cream!
We then enjoyed a fun bon fire with our neighbors.

Mommy went on an adventure to Traverse City and Alivia spent a few days at Grandma and Papa's house. An adventure there is not complete without.....
....eating vegetables straight from the garden.
...a little cat chasing.
...running free through the corn field and Grandma's flowers.
...a little hard manual labor, complete with power tools.
...being encouraged to play with sticks.
...a trip to the county fair with Aunt Lexa.
...and reading lots of books with Grandma!

Day #3 of "Ditching Diapers Cold Turkey" is a success because this was the largest mess we had to clean up all day!

Day #2 of "Ditching Diapers Cold Turkey" is going well and we are thankful for a little comic relief!
July 23, 2013
Giving all of our diapers to Baby Linus sounded like a good idea in theory until we got home and reality sunk in!

Mommy is celebrating that Alivia has finally reached an age where coloring on the SMARTboard, a few snacks, and a short movie will buy her some time to prepare her classroom this summer!

Alivia's half birthday and the 12th anniversary of Mommy and Daddy's first date are just two of the many reasons July 19 is such a special day! We celebrated with pizza and ice cream with Nana, Papa, and our cousins.

Swimming Lessons Night #2....Dramatically improved and celebrated with Superman ice cream!
July 10, 2013
She needed a little convincing that cherries were good. Once Liv got start though, it was a strip down to your diaper, eat them faster than mom can pit them, kind of love affair.

Swimming Lessons Night #1....Things were not going Alivia's way and she made sure everyone knew it!
July 8, 2013
Alivia has always done really well in Meijer. However, Sandy is now a favorite attraction and a little melted ice cream is really not that big of a deal!
