in the park

we had a great weekend! the weather was absolutely perfect, cloudy and in the low 70's. it was nice to do lots of great activities with sweet cheeks outside. we met her cousins at the park yesterday for a little bike riding & playtime. it was a lot of fun. sweet cheek's cousin even impressed us all by riding her bike without any stabilizers on them. she was a bit wobbly but did a great job of staying up. sweet cheeks had a lot of fun just riding around at the park. she is really doing a great job of riding her bike as well. after the bike riding, the kids got to play for a while. sweet cheeks desperately tries to keep up with her cousins, but they are so fast! it is as much fun for me to watch as it is for her to play.



what you don't see here is sweet cheeks cousin sweetly asking her to look for him in her rear view mirror. she obliged, then slowly rode her bike into the brick wall. she caught herself and didn't even fall. oh how i stress to her to look forward constantly because her young mind quickly wanders.



of course phoebes was there to ride with sweet cheeks-



i absolutely love this shot of all 3 of the kids together. they even smiled for me!



sweet cheeks with her cousin, the one riding the bike like a big girl now. she is missing just a few teeth and has such a sweet smile



my active monkey-



coming down the slide together. even though sweet cheeks cousin is 6 years older than her, he is always so sweet and patient with her. i love that about him so much.




needless to say, she had a wonderful trip to the park. can't wait for the cooler temps to remain and we will definitely do it more often.

i don't have any pictures of it, but sweet cheek's nana and pop took her to a museum on saturday morning. it was a dinosaur birthday bash. she told me all about the trip, the puppet show, and the cupcake, so i know she had a fun time. i know she also enjoyed the quality time she spent with nana and pop.
i, on the other hand, was able to stay home and get a lot of my much needed house cleaning done!

new shoes! new shoes!
sweet cheek's foot doesn't seem to stop growing. she is now wearing a size 9! we bought her two new pairs of shoes over the weekend-


you have probably seen these ones in most of sweet cheeks pics from over the summer. she had a pink/white pair and wore them every...single..day! so we figured why stray from what we know she loves. we just updated the color to a fall shade.



i think she picked these based on the sparkle factor-
