Princess Reese

And her fairy God-Dog, Cyan (note the dog's pearls)

New Suit

Grandma sent Reese a new swim suit and pool shoes. We're on our way to
the pool to try it out.

Puppy-sittin'

Reese has been watching two of Aunt Tara's dogs this week. She
thoroughly enjoys a dog that she can pick up and hold under one arm.

The sentence of the week has been, "Reese, put the puppy down please."

The two miniature daschunds, Paisley & Mabel, go home this weekend.
Reese will surely miss returning home at the end of the to find
"Playsley" and Mabel as eager to play as she is...our dog, Cyan, won't
be.

Bathing Beauty

Reese is bathing this evening while sporting a very fashionable pair
of shades.

Cingular Commercial

After 2,437 trips down the shortest slide, Reese worked up the nerve
to conquer the big daddy.

Can you see me now?

Spider Swing

Team swinging

At the park

Reese is enjoying a little time at West Side Park.

My daughter is gorgeous!

Shelter from the Storm

Reese and Mommy taking cover from today's daily afternoon shower.

House Shoes

Reese fell in love with Aunt Beth's slippers while out at their house
last night. She ran around the front yard playing football and soccer
with the boys while flopping around in her new footware of choice.

Icecream?

While identifying different animals, birds, snakes and shells, Reese
picked up this shell. When asked, "What's that Reese?" she replied,
"Icecream"

Day at the Museum

Watching a puppet show at the Florida Museum of Natural History.

Swim Ninja

Should sleep good tonight

Headed to the pool

Reese decided she needed to don her "swimsuit hat".

Leavin' on a Jet Plane...

Daddy dropped the Mommy and the Nugget off at the airport this
morning. We gave Reese her new suitcase once we parked. She was soooo
proud to pull her own suitcase into the terminal...meanwhile, Daddy's
heart was breaking knowing that he wouldn't see his girls for 2 weeks.
*sob, sob*

It's NAKED time!

In addition to Reese's current stage of "exherting her
independance" (I think that's the nice way to say terrible twos),
she's also is in a bit of a "don't like to have clothes on" stage.

Here is the nudey-booty helping Mommy run the vacuum.

Friday in the Fort

Hanging out with Reese in her backyard loft. The kabobs are on the
grill and the rain is getting ready to roll in...we're taking cover.

Dress Up with my Cousin

In Orlando for the 4th of July weekend. Reese and her cousin, Hayley,
came out of the back room dressed up in play clothes...too cute!

Catching up

Oops, its been a while since our last post...here's a couple shots
from the last week or so.

This is from last week post-haircut. We're upstairs at the UF plaza
across from the Swamp restaurant getting some pizza from New York Pizza.

Reese kept yelling to people on the street, "HEY BOY DOWN THERE!"

Gettin' a trim

Daddy has been trying to get Reese in for a haircut for weeks now.
We're finally here!

A Musical Piece

New iPhone app + Reese's Voice = Great idea for the blog.

...still kinks to work out, but click here to listen to some audio of the Nugget recorded live from her crib on Monday evening.

Swingset...done!

This year, father's day was celebrated by having Daddy build the 1
million piece swingset in the newly landscaped backyard.

Poppy (a.k.a Daddy's Daddy) and Memaw (a.k.a Daddy's Mommy) came into
town and were integral pieces of the swingset-building team!

Twelve hours of manual labor spread out over two of the HOTTEST days
ever makes this feat that much more impressive...building a swingset,
big deal...building a swingset on the surface of the sun, EPIC
achievement!

So the "Daddy-built, Nugget-approved" swingset is done and we're
looking forward to it providing years of enjoyment for us.

You Know When...

...it gets real quiet...too quiet...
Well it dawned on me that Reese hadn't made a sound in the past few
minutes so I went to investigate.

Reese had wanted to feed the dog, but the new bag of dog food wasn't
open yet. Here is the Nugget taking it upon herself to rip open the
bag of dog food...piece by piece.

Bowling with Reese

Reese's first experience with the bowling alley was a success! Sure, the actual bowling part of the trip was secondary to:

1) Running all over the place
2) exploring the arcade
3) eating popcorn
4) running some more
5) drinking Sprite
6) running again
7) riding the mechanical gator by the front door
8) being chased by Mommy
9) being chased by Daddy
10) being chased by Grandma
11) being chased by Brit

...but Reese really had a great time and we had a great time watching her enjoy herself so much!

On a side note: Mommy is a good bowler but Daddy has the best form.
