Sunday, July 17

so, Brenna and I picked out these Wilton Candy picks at JoAnn's. I didn't buy the chocolate in the same shopping trip, so she had to wait about a week before we tried them for the first time. Brenna loved helping make them (and this was my first time making them, so we did accidently overfill most of the molds). They turned out pretty cute and were delicious :-)

another of my paintings :-) He is another Diddlina character. (It may look like a bunny, but it is a dog)...

I bought a remote for my camera - Brenna was in love with it :-)

I tried to get some new pics of Brenna at the park - she was o.k. with the idea of pictures before we got to the park, but not much interested once we got there.

most of the looks she gave me....I think they even included an eye roll....



finally some real smiles once we went to the playground...

Brenna and I met a new friend named Koda - he is only 8 months old and he had some huge paws...



Hello All!!!

Hope all is well out there! Things are good here - just trying to beat the heat. I have been getting Justice out most mornings for a walk (he is so used to it that if I try to sit at the computer before his walk - he sits and whines at me - spoiled dog!).

Brenna and I did some fun activities during the past week - we went to the park, we went and had her foot impression done in clay (and then made it into a flip flop) at the local pottery place (you will have to wait a few weeks to see the finished product), and we went to a kids concert in the park. On Friday evening, we went to the local sweet corn festival and Brenna and Dustin rode on the Ferris Wheel together and then she rode a few other kiddie rides there. Brenna was the only one of us that wanted the sweet corn so late in the evening and unfortunetly it was slippery and fell on the ground after only eating about a row of it, but she handled it like a trooper. We also stayed late and watched the fireworks, so Brenna braved the port-a-potties at the event (they were pretty nasty too - we both had to hold our breath in there!). Daddy won her a great new plastic blow-up flamingo - she loved having it for the wait for the fireworks. On Saturday morning, we went to the open house at the county jail. Brenna really had a good time and we were lucky that one of her preschool classmates happened to be there for the jail tour (Brenna said that was the best part of the morning). It was a neat event for the kids as they had the mounted police there, the smoke house for the kids, and a bounce house (Brenna's second favorite thing about the open house). We also ran into one of Brenna's classmates from the daycare she went to up until age 2. The girls didn't remember each other, but they had fun playing in the bounce house together. The food at the open house was free, so we had a great lunch of hamburgers, homemade donuts, cookies, and slushies. The people who organized the event really did a great job. (and they had some interesting things for the adults too - they had out the Hazmat vehicle and equipment, their new armored vehicle - which looked like it belonged on the set of a Batman movie, and some of their old vehicles). Brenna also really enjoyed seeing Smokey the Bear and Patches the safety pup.

In the afternoon, we went to the new Winnie the Pooh movie and then walked around the mall since it was so hot outside. Daddy treated Brenna to a new friend from Build-a-Bear (she picked Smurfette).

Well, that was the highlights I think! (and I will have to share pictures from Saturday later - I haven't put them on the computer yet).

Take Care!
