Next, it was off to the romper room to drag ALL of her toys out! She was asking for a hat as soon as she woke up this morning! Our silly girl is all about hats and bows!
We are going to have a fun-filled day! We are driving to Mesquite to swim with Mika and Sadie. As an extra bonus, Allison and Clara Beth are coming over for a short visit, too! THEN, I am having my team over for dinner tonight. WHEW! Tomorrow is shaping up to be a lazy day!.JPG)

Our local winery, Lone Oak (www.loneoakwinery.com) , was celebrating their annual Harvest Fiesta today. They have the most wonderful events and this was no exception! They are currently harvesting their vines, and they welcome visitors to help with the pruning. They even had grape stomping where you could make a tote bag with your grape stained footprints, as well as other crafts and activities for all ages. Edee made the rounds getting to know everyone before finally running out of steam long enough to sit in my lap and listen to the live music. We always have so much fun when we are there, and we are looking forward to enjoying more time on their lawn when it gets a little cooler! 
If you know much about Eric and I, you know that Eric has done the majority of the cooking around her for the last 7 years. Well, that has changed recently! We were listening to Dave Ramsey and he was recommending e-mealz, so we decided to give it a try. It is awesome! For just $5 a month, I get a list of 7 meals each week along with an organized grocery list. We have been so impressed with the quality of the meals and I have had so much fun in the kitchen! OH...and the apron that Katy gave me for my birthday sure helps, too! (At first glance, it may appear that I am scantily clad under my apron, but I DO have on a sundress!) 
Edee LOVED jumping off the side of the pool! She would act like she forgot how to stand up and it was hilarious!
Most of the kids were 2 or older, but Edee and I practiced just like the "big kids!"
She has no fear of putting her face in the water and she even closed her mouth...some of the time! :-) We need to work on the blowing bubbles part. (And YES, she did swim with a bow in her hair! Aren't you proud Aunt Allison?)
She was so glad that Daddy came to watch her swim on the last night! We haven't been able to practice much at Tiki Cove due to the rain, but I am definitely NOT complaining! I am so thankful for the cooler temperatures! 
So...Edee and I were SUPPOSED to start Mommy and Me swim class last night. What a mess! I had to stand in line forever last week to register her. I was there for about an hour and a half, but apparently that wasn't enough time for someone to tell me that the time had changed from 7:00 to 6:00. Needless to say, when we arrived at 6:50 we had missed the class. We came home and swam in Tiki Cove, and we'll try again tonight. GEEZ!! I don't think she could have looked any cuter! :-) 
So, after returning from a WONDERFUL vacation in Red River, the heat was too much for me to handle! (I really intend to post my pics from RR soon, but in the mean time you can visit www.flynnville.wordpress.com to check out some of Katy's pics!) I finally convinced Eric that we needed some sort of pool. After a frantic search of Big Lots, Wal-Mart and Target on Saturday, we found this "beautiful" summer must-have! Apparently, everyone in Burleson beat us to the punch b/c these things are in short supply!
Grandma and Grandpa bought Edee her first 4 wheeler while we were out of town. I cannot believe how well she fits on it! She immediately grabbed the handlebars and put her little thumb on the throttle. It needs a new battery, but Grandma pushed her around and around. She loves it and she even makes some very accurate sound effects! I guess it is just in her DNA!
