One more photo

This one was taken by Jessie Bloede - Zella and her new boyfriend, August Bloede. Such a cute couple and love this picture.

Summer Photos

More photos are finally here! I messed up and started posting them in the reverse order from the way I usually (I think) do it - so, the most recent photos are first.

Zella has definitely been a busy girl - or keeping us busy, at least. We have been able to enjoy a lot of time in the pool this summer and, thanks to her friends, Emma & Natalie, she has also been enjoying her frog sandbox. Seriously, our girl LOVES sand. I'm hoping that it's pushing her one more step closer to becoming a marine biologist.

These first few pictures were taken with a couple of new iPhone apps, which are definitely my new favorite toy. Shout out to Jesse Bloede for turning me on to Hipstamatic to get that old photo look on some of these - the first of which is probably my favorite. The others, taken from this past weekend while we were in the backyard, were taken with another app that allows you to adjust the colors, saturation, blurriness, & vignette-look - I'm still getting the hang of that one.

Enjoy!

taken with the new iPhone app -I think I was making her nervous or annoyed with the number of pictures being 'snapped' that afternoon

I love sand...

Ah, an afternoon alone with my favorite thing - sand!

Let's see... should I make another sand mold of Pooh bear or just pour more sand all over me? Yeah, I'll just pour more sand all over me.

Anxious to get in the pool.

poor bunny... our dog, Lucy, knows exactly how this rabbit feels...

just one more kiss...

Giddy up! (our dog, Emmy, knows exactly how this donkey feels)

If not a marine biologist, a veterinarian would be okay too...

I can't remember who the sucker was who decided to hand the child their bracelets. Um, yeah... she's not giving those back without a fight.

My friends, Emma & Natalie - the two most fun people on Earth!

Yes, Daddy, I hear you - I will not run around the jagged rocks anymore! Ha ha ha ha...

Working in the yard...

Umm... sand is not only fun, it's yummy!

This thing is a no-go. Totally uncomfortable and, let's be honest... I look ridiculous!

At lunch with Nana K & Pops at The Oasis. My frosty beverage should be here any second...

Yee-haw! On the swings at a park near Nana D's and Papa's house in Little Rock.

Vroom, vroom...

Wooo!

Me and Carl on the flight out to Little Rock to see Nana D & Papa.

Spaghetti!

Not too sure about this dress at her daycare's International Festival day. She loves to dress up, but this just wasn't doing it for her, for some reason.
