Puddin'!

What do you do on a hot summer day? Put your suits on and paint with pudding! Maddy and her BFF Brynlee loved it, what could be better than being able to be as messy as you want to without getting in trouble!

Brynlee discovered that it was better to slurp up the pudding than to paint with it early on...

Brnlee's creation...
Maddy's Masterpiece...
And then came the body painting...

Brynlee's face seemed to be a great canvas for Maddy...

But Bryn didn't mind at all..

Such a fun day we will definitely be doing this again! Best thing of all is hosing off the kids and the mess in just a couple minutes. Love it!

Happy Summer Time!

Maddy and Mika

Thought it would be fun to compare... both girls almost the same age in the same 4th of July dress... We thought Maddy had tons of crazy hair, looking back I think Mika wins the harrier baby contest...

Mika's first modeling gig...

My friend Autie makes these adorable headbands for babies! Super cute and fun! I was flattered when she asked if Mika could be her little model so we set up a little photoshoot... I think she rocked the headbands... Watch out daddy!
Love the pink and turquise!

And More Father's Day...

And one more shout out to my father... I'm so lucky to have such a great dad who has taught me so much! He is so great with my little girls, I love seeing him teach them new things and just being silly with them...

Some of my favorite memories of my dad growing up are at the beach... Love this super sweet pic of my dad and Maddy..
And here he is getting a little too close to the pelicans giant beak...

We love when grandpa and grandma come down and go to Ruby's on the pier with us..

And grandpa always rides in style... Here is maddy and grandpa with their wind-blown hair getting a ride by one strong biker to the end of the pier. Who wants to walk right?
Happy Father's Day Dad aka Bruiser! (his name is Bruce)
