Soaking It Up

The weather was amazing today, so we took advantage of lots of outdoor time. (After story time at the library of course).  Chesney LOVES being outside.

 We spent most of the day mowing the lawn, playing on the swing set, drawing with chalk and going for walks.

And since it was so hot out, we had to have lots of snacks to cool down.

 

 When Daddy came home, he was washing off the pool patio, and Chesney decided to jump in the water.  She thought it was the best thing ever.  When he turned off the water, Chesney kept yelling "do it again!"

 

 

 

 

 

 We ended the night with a little ice cream snack.

We are looking forward to lots of days like this in the next few months.

Grandma's 60th Birthday Party

Today we had a surprise party for Grandma who will be 60 in a few weeks!  It was tricky keeping it a surprise, especially with a 2 year old who loves to tell stories.  We ended up telling Chesney about the party the night before.  And she woke up pretty excited!

 The food and decor.

 

 

 

 There were lots of wonderful guests!

 

 The guest of honor arrived and was quite surprised!

 

 Grandma enjoyed talking with everyone and everyone had fun celebrating with her.

 

And she got lots of nice gifts (and had lots of help).

Happy 60th Birthday Grandma!  We love you!

Sunny Days

We have had a lot of sunny days this spring which makes for a lot of bike riding and outdoor play.

 This little girl was meant to be an outdoor girl. 

 

 Oh how I love this sweet little face...

 ..and all this spunk too!

Library Day and Painting Away

We had a busy but very fun morning!  We went to Story Time at the library this morning.  Chesney just loves the 25 minutes of singing and stories.  She played with the toys and puzzles for an hour, and then we picked out some books and headed out.  

 

  Thanks to Grandma for the library bag.

 We had to make a quick stop at the grocery store on the way home.  Chesney was pretty tired and hungry so we had a little lunch which gave someone a little energy burst.

Chesney wanted to paint, so we got out all our paint supplies and went to work.

 

 

 This girl loves to paint, and it is such a great way for her to practice her colors.

 

  She got a little messy along the way, but after a quick clean-up, she went right back to painting.

So proud of her art!

 This one is for you Grammy.  When I asked her what she was painting she said "Grammy".

 Three finished works of art!

She was ready for a nap after painting, so we read a couple of the library books we got and it was off to sleep for my little sweetie.
