Summer lovin'

Yet another post on our summer fun.  We love summer time.  We love having Darwin home with us.  We love the warm weather, the sunshine, the yummy food, and the chance to just relax and enjoy life.  I really feel like we need it this year!

Bear with me.  Lots of pictures, as usual :)

One of our favorite summer activities is to go hang out at Grandma and Grandpa's house (aka Deming National Park-DNP).  Aurora knows where we are as soon as we pull in the driveway.  She'll excitedly say "Bam-pa!" and then ask for a cookie.  Silly girl.  She loves Oreo cookies (which are always well in stock at DNP) and she knows she gets one every time we go over.

Aurora loves "jumping" on the trampoline

 I started watching my friends baby, Delilah, a couple months ago.  I have her 4 days a week, so she gets to come on some of our adventures with us.

 Serenading us with a pretty song :)

 My cuties :)

Aurora's not quite ready for potty training yet (we still have yet for her to actually "go" on the potty) but she has become very interested it in the toilet, and she even tells us sometimes before she poops.  So, to be prepared we bought and installed a potty seat for our munchkin.

Don't judge.  We're first-time parents, so this is exciting stuff!

 Bubble baths have become an all-time fav!

 

 

 Mohawk! Oh, yeah!

We've also gone over to DNP a couple of times to play in the irrigation water.  She usually has to get good and dirty first though.  I wonder if she'll turn out to be an earth scientist like her daddy. . .

 The irrigation water is really pretty cold, but Aurora doesn't seem to mind it

 Splashing in the sunshine!

On to more fun summer adventures!
