S#@*%+

Anna said her first dirty word today. Considering Kevin and I don't have the cleanest vocabulary, I'm surprised it took this long. :) Either way, we were at dinner and she was being really loud so we asked her to be quiet. She looked at Kevin and said, "Don't tell me to hush. You shut-up Daddy!" I realize this word is tame compared to others but Kevin and I were in shock because we've never heard her say anything like that. How could my sweet Anna say something so ugly? Who has taken over my childs body? Made me a little sad. But I'm sure when she's a teenager and talking back to us, I'll wish she was saying shut-up! Oh, the joys of parenthood.

It's Hot! I Need a Pool!

Our good friends, Eric and Paige, invited us over to their pool this weekend and as hot as it's been, it was much appreciated. Anna loves their kids, Emery and Reed. She talks about them all the time! Thought I'd post a few pics of her with her BFF's.

Emery and Anna had matching bikini's!

Thanks for letting us come over Horras'! Can't wait to do it again.

Lights... Camera... Action!

We took Anna to her very first movie over Memorial Day weekend. Since she loves all of the Shrek movies, we thought it would be fitting that her first movie experience be "Shrek Forever After". I was so excited to take her, maybe because I spent a lot of time at the movies when I was a kid or maybe because it was a "first" for her and I love being with her when she experiences something for the first time. Either way, Kevin and I were eager to see how she would be. We got there right as the previews were starting. It was dark and she wasn't a fan of that. She cried a little but she calmed down once the movie started. She stayed curled up in our arms the whole time, but she watched the entire movie without making a peep. She had a great time and I'm so glad I could share that with her.

We went to the UA Breckenridge Theater, the one I always went to when I was a kid (well sort of... the old one was torn down and this was built in it's place.)

Here's Anna and Daddy buying the movie tickets.

 

  I wasn't able to get a picture of Anna in the movie because it was too dark, but the memories are enough for us.
