Julia's First Day of School

Well... not really she started a little early a few weeks ago and loves it!

Life is just a tire swing

We went to visit Nana and Papa for the weekend and went to the playground I grew up playing at. I think the tire swing is a new addition......

"I'm not gonna be too shy Mommy....."

After several times of watching in awe as the other kids jumped on the giant trampoline, but being too scared to try, Julia finally said one day "I want to jump on the trampoline, I'm not gonna be too shy, I want to jump to the sky!" So after waiting very patiently for her turn, she harnessed up........jumped SUPER high and even did a backflip!

What a view!

Julia finally got the courage to climb ALL THE WAY to the top of the "spider web" at the playground! To think just a few months ago she wouldn't even go on it at all. Just goes to show how quickly they grow and change.

A princess and her.....tools?

Dressed as a princess and ready for the ball? Nope, this princess is ready to help Daddy work on the house!

Our New Project

In over my head? Maybe... But I'm a good swimmer.
This is the new project that will take a heap of work.

Tropical Paradise

It only took a year, but I have finally gotten around to painting the flower border in Julia's room.
