If We Keep Trying.....

Maybe she'll wear a hat for more than 10 seconds!

Trying daddy's Air Force hat from many moons ago.






Nope, I like the natural look much better...




What better seat than an empty ziploc box??




This toy plays different songs on each side. "Pop Goes the Weasel" is a favorite because she just loves the weasel. She likes to try to stuff him back in.

I'm Too Sexy for My Shades



The sunglasses went over as well with Gabriella as they did with Bing - no way! But, I quick snapped a few pics before she ripped them off.





Daddy is determined she will be a little Steeler's fan, so he bought her a hat of her own. He even sewed the back up so it would fit better. She will wear it for a bit and then off it comes. She does like to put it on mommy or daddy though.




She also likes carrying it around.

Weekend in Review

First, can I just say how incredibly hot and HUMID it is??????? It's pretty unbearable.

On Saturday, Gabriella and I went over to Corey's (Luke's mommy) for a BBQ and a swim. We also got to hang out with our guatemama friends and babes. Amy was their with Isabella and Gabrielle and Shelby with Brehana.


I didn't take any pictures!!! So, head over to their blogs: Corey and Shelby.
Sunday, Ferdy and I took Gabriella to Lake Eola downtown. We didn't realize there is a small market there on Sundays. We got some fruits and veggies and had some YUMMY homemade food from the vendors. We then went and checked out the swans and the swings. By this time(we'd already been there well over an hour), mommy was overheated and Gabriella was soaking wet and so we headed on home after a short stint on the swings. Did I mention it was HOT?????


The birds weren't sure what to make of this turtle.



Looking for a handout.


They have black swans here and they are so beautiful.




What are you looking at???
No wonder I'm always cleaning moss off the floor under this.

My Little Stripper Girl

Gabriella was intent on taking this outfit off today.





OK mommy, I'll just ride my shopping cart then.



Speaking of taking things off..... Ask Ferdy the importance of putting the panties back on over the diaper when putting her down for a nap. The white dress with the flag on the 4th of July?? Yeah, not so white after a little finger painting... Neither were the sheets or the crib. But hey, after a bath, mommy got to put on some more red, white and blue!!



This picture isn't the best, but I love the way she scrunches up her nose. She does it a lot and it's so cute. It usually comes complete with loud breathing like a dragon through her nose. She makes that noise any time I sigh. Makes me laugh.


We have her exersaucer collapsed and sitting in our room. She went and climbed on in.



But, then wasn't too happy when she couldn't get out.

Happy 4th of July!




I hope everyone is having a fun and safe 4th of July. It is unfortunately a rainy day here, so we aren't doing much.



And some pictures from earlier this week.... Yes, mommy bought too much red, white and blue for Gabriella, so we'll just wear it all week :-)


Hey Bing, you look too comfortable. Let me fix that.

Ha, ha, you can't see me.


Are we going shopping? I've got my purse and I'm ready to go!



What do mean "No"???


Hmmm, what's in here?


Yes, that looks like a sufficient mess for mommy to clean up.

Can you see Bing's paw under the door? Gabriella loves to tease him like this. She'll push flat things under the door and then snatch them back.


What could be more fun than playing with an empty oatmeal cannister?


Ellie almost fits in there.






Look at those chocolate brown eyes




And what would a post be without some Bing shenannagins? This is the window ledge in the shower.
