Summer is just flying by! We have been having so much fun. Addi started her own blog, called "Love and Sprinkles by Addi". She picks out recipes, makes a shopping list, and then makes delicious treats to share with friends and family.

Addi has been working hard to reach her summer reading goal of 100 books. She is half way there, having read over 50 books. We are so proud of our little reader, and know she is more then ready to take on the first grade! We go to the library twice a week, and I buy books at thrift stores and yard sales to keep up with her. The library has a wonderful summer program for the kids, and we go every week. Last week the kids did arts and crafts, this week Mobius Science Center was there to teach the kids all about combustion experiments. 

One of the things on her summer bucket list is to visit ALL of her Grandparents. She had a wonderful afternoon visiting my Pa and Grandma Dee, her Great Grandpa and Grandma Dawson.

We made a girls day of it, and hit the mall afterwards for lunch and shopping.

 Addi is such a fashionista! She loved trying on shoes, handbags and sunglasses, then strutting her stuff. She entertained all the other shoppers and made everyone smile!

 It was a wonderful day with my little girl.

A few days later I took both kids to town for the entire day. We went to several different parks, the mall, and saw a movie. After ten hours in the city with two kids, I didn't want to get out of bed the next day! They wore me out! But we had SO much fun! 

Brave was awesome! So glad I got to see it with my kids. It is the perfect movie for a Mom and daughter to see together. Cross that one off the bucket list! :o)
