why does summer go by so fast?

i can't believe it is the end of july already.

here are a few pictures of our latest happenings..

nothing too exciting!

i need to do a real update with my pictures from my camera

instead of these crappy pictures from my phone.

but unitl then, this will do!

grets and hadlee hanging out

grets and berk at riverwoods,

we went for the taste of the valley.

it was fun but sooo hot!

grets looks like a hoarder with all her water bottles.

fireworks on the 24th

not to be a debbie downer but i am relieved

we are done with fireworks for awhile...

grets acts like a crazy person around them!

she loves climbing on kurt's back and riding around!

she might have a small obsession with it,

remember this picture?

last but not least...

grets is enjoying a lazy afternoon

reading her favorite elmo book

while lounging on the hammock.

she has the life!

i want this

found here via pinterest

swim time!

a couple days ago we took this little

monkey swimming.

she was having the time of her life

playing in the water,

watching the other kids,

(she loves to stare at other people, it is one of her favorite pastimes)

and

walking around.

she did have a little accident

when she slipped straight back

and hit her head,

but she is good!

i am in love with her little mermaid swimsuit too.

grets has no idea who she is,

but i had to buy it for her

because i was obsessed with ariel

when i was little and i had a

little mermaid swimsuit

that i LOVED.

i remember begging my mom to buy

it for me at the disney store

and i wore it all summer

until it tore at stupid raging waters!

so when i saw this one for $10 i could not pass it up.

and of course this hottie was there!
