Doo Doo Doo Doo Da Dora!

First a picture.  Cheese!

Of course we couldn't leave without a hug and kiss.  (Yes, this makes me cringe with her lips on all those mall infested germs....)

 Lastly, a high five!

Bye Dora!

Ready to go!

She has her dress, her shoes, her bracelet, her purse and her backpack for the overflow from her purse. 

Beach days!

We have found an awesome park/beach near our house and make weekly visits.  Minka has become quite the explorer of the sand, water, and her new toys.  She is still very calm and likes to sit for hours just scooping sand and water into her buckets and then coming back to the blanket to eat fruit and then back to the water to sit and scoop.

Girly Girl!

Minka is undeniably a very girly girl!

This is why I love my family...

...they keep me laughing!

Believe it or not, Minka offered many more faces but my camera and fingers were not quick enough to get them all.

Big Little Helper

Minka loves to help me with chores.  She is just the right height to put laundry in the washer and food on the conveyor belt at the grocery store.  She loves helping load and unload this dishwasher and is getting very good at knowing the rules when we are walking through the parking lot.

Even though she likes to put clothes in...she doesn't like the loud noise it makes when it starts churning! (Sorry the video is on its side!)

Happy Fathers Day!

In Minka's words...
