Fun in July 2012

Here are a few pictures of some fun we've had this month!

Keira was looking through a kaleidoscope at Explora Museum.  I was on the other end she saw me, and this is what I saw!  It was so cool I had to take a picture! 

Experimenting at Explora Museum

Our summer wouldn't be complete without a trip to the Abq. Zoo.  I took her picture here last year too!

Look at Keira one year ago!  My how she's growing!!

We just had to show off the pretty peacock in with it's feathers spread out.

Asking for a picture one evening before bedtime.

Summer Fun 2012!

We've been having a great, but busy summer.  Here is Keira helping out in the back yard and enjoying an evening drawing.

Helping Daddy change out sprinklers.

A hard worker!

Digging

See our little lefty!

Beautiful smiles!

More beautiful smiles!

Thumbs up!

Peace too!

Keira's Redecorated Bedroom

Over the last few months we have been redecorating Keira's room.  Here is what it's looking like these days...

Smiling on her big bed!

Loving her room, especially the castle on the wall!  Too bad she still says her room is scary at night.

A messy bookcase with her cute dress hanging up above.

Loving the polka dot curtains with the cute flower hanging next to it.  She also proud of her pink ladybug dream lite.

I think she took this one of herself.  

Smiling as daddy takes a quick picture.

Happy Girl!

Picture Time!

It was time to update Keira's pictures.  As always, she makes us smile...

She even wanted to take a few silly ones too!  

Our Little Singer!

Keira loves to sing.  Once she learns the words to a song, she will sing her heart out.  She loves hearing this one song that is about friends from a Tinkerbell Movie.  Here she is singing her song in the car.

Keira can also be quite the little comedian.  She is very opinionated and speaks what she thinks.  The other day at VBS, the bible story was about Queen Esther.  Keira thought they called her Queen Buster.  After many, many reminders, I think she finally learned it Esther not Buster!  She even said to me the next day, "Buster, I mean Esther..."

Swim Lessons and Trips to the Park

Keira has been having a blast since mommy got out of work.  We have spent many days going to the park, VBS, play dates, and swimming lessons.

Smiling with Daddy!

A trip to the park.  Keira is proudly smiling here because she just climbed up this ALL BY HERSELF!

Another break to smile for the camera.

Having fun on the last day of swim lessons.

More smiles!

Not very sure of herself going out into the deeper secion.

Pretty Smiles!

Practicing kicks on the steps.

Practicing floating on her back.

Coming back to the steps after her turn was over.

More floating practice.

Practicing...

Keira loves the water!

Playing in the shallow section.  She was having so much fun, she wouldn't even turn around to take a quick picture.

Waiting for the water above to drop.

Playing with her swim friends.

Looking to see if the water was going to drop again.
