in the summer time...

Do you know that old 70's tune by Mungo Jerry? 

In the summer time when the weather is fine, you can stretch right up and touch the sky…

I've been humming that little diddy in my head a lot the past few weeks as Brent and I have relished these sticky hot first days of summer with Blythe. 

Last summer we had a little peanut, and didn't get to do too terrible much outside: 

But now? Well these are some snapshots of our summer lovin':

Porch swinging with Nini and PopPop

Shirtless eye-gouging of mama

Puddle splashing with her "favorite" [Stacy]

Ice cream lickin'

Lots of baths

Swimsuit lounging

Splashin' in the pool

Even a little hot tub action, which she thought was hilarious

"jumping" to Daddy

lots of time outside

chillin in her "cool mans"

tearing up flowers

smelling flowers 

porch sittin'

and more baths

wearin' short shorts and spaghetti straps-- look at that figure, would ya?

hanging out at the softball field

evening strolls with Mommy and Daddy

eatin' dirt and snot

wearing halter dresses to church

walking around in a swimsuit

hanging out in the pool

eating snacks on a blanket

dreaming of shootin' hoops someday

off the shoulder…making sure she doesn't get tan lines

and crashing hard at the end of the day
