What do you want to be when you grow up?

Vanessa asked me that question last night. A very poignant question I thought. What do I want to be when I grow up? 'Cause I think we all know I haven't yet!

Normally Vanessa's answer to that question is always 'A DOCTOR!'. She calls herself "Dr. Vanessa" and our family physician has even asked her to join her practice in 20-some years.

Last night though, Vanessa said she wanted to be a mermaid, like Ariel. She wanted long, red hair and red lipstick! Harley chimed in and said "Well then I want to be a crab!!!"

Skinny Dipping

Friday after work the girls and I went swimming. Groveport has the best pool. They have huge water slides, a lazy river and a fountain park. Not to mention the different pools with all kinds of stuff to do.

Friday night was our first night at the pool for the season. When we walked in they announced it was 'adult swim'. I told the girls to take off their cover-ups and we'd go play in the fountain park until we could get in the big pool.Vanessa had taken off her cover-up as soon as we got thru the gate.I took mine off, Vanessa was heading up the steps and I turned to make sure Harley was right behind me. I turned around to see that Harley had taken EVERYTHING off. She was walking behind me buck-necked!

I couldn't help but laugh. A family sitting near us was rolling.

Only Harley would get naked at a public pool and not think a thing about it.

TIFFANI'S GRADUATION

Tiffani graduated from Teays Valley on May 27th. It was the shortest graduation ceremony I have ever attended. Kinda liked it that way...


A FEW MORE BIRTHDAY PICTURES

Harley opening up a present on her birthday. It is a Superstation so the girls can sing and dance and watch themselves on TV. Future superstars were born!

Aunt 'Kaffy' has a lap full!


PLAY HARD!

This is the girls favorite playground. Vanessa calls it "The Twister".







Play Ball !!!

I got out the plastic bat and balls and we played a little softball. Turns out Vanessa is pretty good at hitting the ball. Harley is trying hard - she'll be hitting them out of the yard by the end of summer.




Mother's Day Tea Party

Vanessa's preschool had a Mother's Day Tea Party. We had tea (obviously), mini quiche and mini muffins. The children sang to us and presented us with a handmade braclet. It is really nice!!


PICTURES GALORE!

Harley and Vanessa playing in the sprinkler that "Kaffy" got for Harley's B-day.

Harley's Birthday party

Whew! Harley's party was, to say the least, a HOT event. Our A/C went out, it was 90 degrees and there were 25 people in our little house. Thanks to everyone who came and endured the party! Harley had a great time.


Baby doll Grandma Evelyn gave Harley as a gift. For all who were there, we were sure Grandma was going to keep it. She loved that baby doll. But Harley still has it and sleeps with it every night.


Happy Birthday, Hailey??? Didn't see that until after it was all over. Good thing Harley can't read yet.
At this point we're all hoping Harley is wishing for some cool air!!!

My absolute favorite picture!
