Lompoc Flower Festival

We took Abigail to the Lompoc Flower Festival this morning.  We went early to beat the crowds and beat the heat.  We were successful on both counts.

Picture #1: Abigail and I were given flower leis.
Pictures #2-3: Abigail and Ted riding the train.

Happy Birthday, Cadence

Abigail attended Cadence's princess fairy themed birthday party this afternoon.  All of the girls got handmade fairy tutus, butterfly wings crowns, and wands.  Needless to say the girls were in princess heaven.

People

I really enjoy receiving my People magazine each week.  Reading fluff pieces is a nice way to unwind.

Storytime With Daddy

Swimming Pool Fun

We took Abigail to the Lompoc Aquatic Center for the first time today and she loved it.  It took her a little while to warm up to the idea of being in the water but once she did she had a great time.

Pictures #1-2: Getting ready to get in the pool.
Pictures #3-5: Fun in the pool with mommy.

Turning Two

My niece Emiah and my nephew Nicholas are turning two on June 29.  Sigh.

New Flashlight

We picked this up for Abigail in SLO last weekend for  $1.  Shockingly it is a better flashlight than several others we have at home.

First School Picture

This isn't a great image because it is a picture of a picture, but I wanted to share Abigail's very first school photo.  We did not put that bow in her hair.  I guess her teachers or the photographer thought it would be cute. 

Early Evening Walk

Abigail and I joined some of my coworkers for a walk after work today.  It was a bit hot but we still had fun.

School Art

Abigail is moving to the toddler room in a few weeks and today was her first visit.  While she was in the toddler room she painted this sun.  Her very first school art project.
