It's Hot!

Life is so good right now!  Derek and I are loving watching our little baby girl grow up and she is sure doing just that!  She is almost a year old.  Unbelievable.  Carlsbad has been HOT, HOT, HOT.  It has been over 100 degrees for so many days this summer.  My mentality about what hot means has totally changed.  I am happy when it's only 100 degrees.  I think the highest it has gotten this summer is 108 degrees but the steady temperature seems to be 102. It has been tricky for me and Carly to keep ourselves entertained becasue it is too hot to be outside and there is not a whole lot to do in Carlsbad but thanks to our good friends and Sonic happy hour, we are surviving. 

 Ready to go camping!

 I had to make a choice while we were camping.  Do I try to keep Carly semi-clean and hold her most the time or do I let her loose and let her get DIRTY!  I chose the second option and she loved that choice.  She definitely got dirty but had a blast!

 Carly would fill this cup with dirt, dump it on herself, and then start all over again.  This time she decided to dump it in her mouth!  

 One dirty girl!

Daddy and Carly getting ready for a hike! I love these two so much! They light up my life.

 Carly's favorite car activity!  She loves her books.

 Carly was using her shoe as a dish for her goldfish!  So silly!

 Derek and I went on a date in the park and took Carly with us.  She conked out at right about seven on this blanket.  She was out. 

 Fishin' for kisses!

 I love her sunglasses and she actually will keep them on if I distract her at first from pulling them off her face.

 Carly's new mean face.  She pulls this face all the time now and I can't help but laugh.  She is such a stink some times.
