Father's Day 

Anna is heard 5-25 times a day to yell, "Daddy Shoulders!"  It's her favorite place to be  

We landscaped our house and put in a patio complete with gas fire pit.  We had a number of friends and parties complete with smores.

 Anna loved having her friend Sarah over for a delicious marshmallow treat.

Puppy Barn love with Aunt Rachel 

Photo Overload

Anna is always full of life, energy, and imagination.  She is very sweet and loving.  She loves to snuggle, cuddle, give kisses and hugs, and tell you I love you!  She is either happy or sad and you never need to worry which one it is because she will tell you.  Like her Mommy she can talk and talk and talk.

She loves to have "picnics" with her dolls in the living room. 

She is all about doing things all by herself.  She never wants any help with the toothbrush, the potty, or anything else unless she does and then you better get there fast! 

Before her very first dance performance.  She was showing us the perfect way to twirl. 

After her dance performance she just wanting me to stop taking pictures! 

Miss Sassy Pants 

One of my favorite things about Annalise is the way she always wears a princess dress to do the most important princess things: jumping on the tramp, riding her bike, playing with chalk etc. 

The gold she found that the leprechauns left us on St Patricks Day
