a conversation

I had this conversation with this little cutie tonight as we were getting her PJ's on.

Ella, " Mom? Can you get married when you are 4?"

Me, "No. Who are you wanting to marry?"

Ella, "Jarrett, he is nice to me."

** It is nice to know she is looking for the important things!

Me, "How old do you think you have to be to get married?"

Ella, "Like 10 or 9 or maybe a teenager! You got married when you were a teenager, right?"

Me, "Yes, I did." (nervous laugh!!)

And she runs downstairs to her dad. I think we may be in a little trouble with this one!

Why we aren't around much!!

we are eating ice cream
and sharing secrets with our 'bffs

and playing where we are NOT supposed to

and swimming with friends

and swinging with siblings

and getting messy ice cream faces at cookouts!

You know, all that fun summer stuff! :)

Fav Foto Friday!

I could just eat this little guy up!!

brave girl

Last Friday, Grace got her tonsils removed. She was such a brave girl and everyone at the hospital was wonderful. She is still recovering, but getting better every day.

In pre-op with her new friend they gave her
getting ready to roll out- they had already given her the "goofy juice"
eating a popsicle in recovery

getting ready to head home; such a long day!
