ASHLYNN & BOSTON: Summer so far

It seems like the start of spring was just happening and Boston and I were wearing sandals and capri's for the first time of the year and yesterday I heard my nephews talking about them going back to school soon. I'm not sure if time seems like it's going quicker because I am older now, because I have a baby, because we have just been having fun or just an accumulation of all three. Whatever it is I wish it could slow down a little though.

With that being said we have some staggering statistics to report: (actually they aren't that staggering of statistics I have always just wanted to write that in a sentence since I took an introduction to journalism class a few years back).

•5... The number of (big) boxes of otter-pops we have gone through.

•14... The number of times we have gone to the pool.

•4... The number of times we have gone to the lake.

•8... Hikes

•3... Camping trips
*2.... Fishing trips

•10... Boxes of sidewalk chalk

•6... Big cases of bubbles`
*1... and one plant that we have kept alive for two months!

I can't even list the amount of times we have gone on stroller walks, fed sucks or went to the park. We have also had to play 'This is How we Roll' on repeat since it is Boston's new current favorite song to sing and dance along to. We plan to keep soaking up every second of sun, warm weather and good memories we can out of summer before we have to put on our hoodies and leggings. We have even more fun plans for this week.

Here are just a few pictures of what we have been up to.

She usually can't go one car ride without putting on a pair of my sunglasses.

This was last Friday, not The Fourth of July even thought it looks pretty patriotic, she just looked so happy with her two 'tonytails' (pigtails) and pearls.

Camping with the family... and just to calm your fears she did wear a helmet.

My hiking buddy! I'm pretty sure she is my favorite human I have EVER met.

Monday evening we got caught in a rain storm in our matching shoes. We had to hide under a random apartment for cover but she had so much fun with it.
