Swim date

Lola had some friends from church come over for the holiday. We cooked some burgers and mac&cheese. What a great way to spend a sunny day in California, splashing around the pool. Lola looked soo cool with her curls from the night before and the glasses were just the perfect accessory.[gallery columns="4"]

hanging out for the long weekend

We hung around the house for the long weekend. Lola helped to snap some beans one night.  I love this picture of her snapping the beans because we caught the dr pepper commercial in the back ground.. funny....I rolled her hair in curlers to give her some cute curls. Great to just relax.

Jeep Project

After 6 years of getting rained on and getting abused the carpet in the Jeep had to go. To replace it I went with Monsterliner, a do it yourself roll on bedliner that was very highly recommended on JeepForum. It was only about $100 for a gallon and went on very easily. Day 1 we stripped the interior completely and cleaned it with soap and water and acetone. Day 2 involved taping up the edges and plugging the important holes, then painting. Day 3 it rained and we couldnt get the seats back in so the liner had a long time to cure. Saturday moring we put the interior back in and it was good to go.

It's a Celebration

It is what it is

My Favorite thing is to Swing!

Swinging is Lola's favorite thing. She enjoys going to any park that has a swing and just swing forever. Today was a nice warm day in California, so Lola thought it would be a good day for the park and a swing.

In the parenting magazines there are always advertisements to have fairy's or princesses or pirates or whatever character to hire to come to birthday parties. I've been curious to see how good they are. Well, at this birthday party we went to this weekend they had one of the fairies come. She did a great job. She did face painting and did a small magic show. She also made balloon animals. The kids all really enjoyed her. We made her a little apron and gave her some playdough animal shape stuff. Lola had a great time and is really getting excited about planning her 4th birthday.

Cook Like a Champ

It is widely known that Prewitt cooking is one of the wonders of the world, and being down here with my brother has given us plenty of time to explore cuisine and yet there is this stock-pot the size of my head sitting around that I have not cooked in yet. Homework: find a recipe to use this monster stock-pot and blow the socks off of people with flavor.
