Splishin' and a Splashin'

A couple of weeks ago, (August 11, 2009)

I took Jaden to the Y's Splash Park.

OH MY GOODNESS....she had a BLAST!!!

I will let the pictures speak for themselves!

Better than a Silver Spoon

She wasn't born with a "silver spoon in her mouth"!

That just wouldn't be good enough for our Miss J............

She was born with a PAINTBRUSH in her hand.....and just look what a little artist she is evolving into!

1 day old

Her first experience with a paintbrush.

(and each month after this she had her handprint done.)

Once she was able to sit up and get down to business, there was no stopping her:

1 year old

Painting a Mother's Day present for her mom!

1 1/2 years old

An "I wanna paint day"

She painted wall hangings for us!

Christmas '08

She made Christmas ornaments for everyone!

December 2008

Painting her favorite character "George" with her subject watching.

January 2009

Painting with her cousins Olivia and Evan

A kleenex box for Gramma J

January 2009

Painting with her friend Hannah.

Finishing up her Kleenex box.

March 2009 (almost 2 years old)

"Painting Date" with cousins Ava and Jack.

July 2009

Her first "Bisque It Kids Camp"

As you can see, she is going to be some artist! And I am sure she will teach her sister the art of pottery painting!

Hope you enjoyed the little art show.
I could have called this "Flashback Friday", but it isn't Friday.
I wanted to call it "Miss J Monday", but yeah, it isn't Monday.
So, lets just call it FUN!!!

Happy Anniversary to Us!

Max and I celebrated our 28th Wedding Anniversary on Saturday!

I worked the first half of the day while Max went truck shopping.....actually we had found a truck the night before and he just had to go do the paperwork. I have joked about this being his anniversary present, but I am going to let him tell you the "100 reasons" he bought a truck.

We tossed around ideas on what to do Saturday night....where do we want to go eat, what else to do? Because we go out to eat often, and we have to be picky about where, I wanted to do something different. We ended up at Lake George in Fremont. We ate at Lake George Retreat and then hit the few stores that are left at the Outlet Mall.

It was a nice time and a chance to take the BIG truck for a drive. (Big is subjective and since he has been driving the little Hyundai, this truck is BIG)

Be sure to stay tuned and tune into Max's blog for BIG truck picture!
