My SD card is ALiVE!

So I hadn't posted pictures in a while because I was waiting for my SD card to get fixed on my computer. It wasn't allowing me to upload pictures and what's a blog post with no cute pictures of Aubrey. Kyle has been busy doing ER this month and has had to work some nightshifts, he finished his last one yesterday!  Yay!!  We now have him home for a couple of days.  I even got to sleep in this morning which was A-MA-ZING!  Since Kyle has been working nights he's been on a crazy sleep schedule and so that he's been able to sleep in the morning Aubrey and I have found things around Cookeville to do in the mornings.  Aubrey now goes to music class on Wednesdays and we've been going to the library for story time on Tuesdays or on Thursdays.  At story time we even met a new friend a little boy a month older than Aubrey named Ryker and her mom Leena.  We went to the park last week to hang out with Aubrey's new friend and we had a great time.  Well here are a few pictures from some fun stuff we've been doing with our days out.

Gotta love our pool with the splash park, don't know how many days left we'll have here.  August makes me sad because it means summer is almost over, as a teacher I used to have a love/hate relationship with August.  Loved starting a new school year, hated summer being over.

 

Ok not that cutest face at all, but I was trying to show the pure relaxtion she was having here.  She had her leg propped up on a pillow and laid back into the couch, which she can now climb on an off by herself I might add.  Toddler=climbing on everything in sight!

Climbed on the couch again but this time to read her bible.  This was the neatest thing to see as my little girl climbed up by herself and started looking at her bible all by herself.  Her favorite is the story of Noah and the ark with pictures of elephants and the story of baby Moses and Baby Jesus, of course anything with a baby in it.

I know this picture looks absolutely disgusting but we've been doing a lot of painting and coloring so we decided to paint with pudding well it was going to take too long to make and for it to set up so instead we improvised with what we had and used strawberry yogurt.  Yes it was ridiculously messy but it was delicious I bet.  She was happy, dirty and messy, but happy.

Licking it off of course. Wouldn't you?

Another painting activity.  I was spray painting something outside, don't worry I'll finally update with pictures of all my spray painted pretties.  Aubrey grabbed the paint brushes and started playing with them instead of telling her no and taking them away, the teacher in me came out and decided to let her paint outside with water.  It worked great because she loved getting water all over the porch and it helped clean up the chalk we've been playing lately.

She then tried to sit in our paint I mean water, oooops.

Kyle then had a much needed day off so we headed to a beach about 20 minutes away and spent the day playing at the beach.  Aubrey had so much fun playing in the very shallow, and rocky sand and loved floating out in the water.  Best swim/float thing ever it's this like a floaties/ring float thing.  It's US coast guard approved and it keeps her afloat by herself and the added bonus she loves it.  She hated the other life jackets I had bought and tested out because it went around her head.  I sweat by this thing, I absolutely LOVE it.  If you're looking for something for the pool/lake this is it.

And I'll end with a picture of something that is very rare. I'm relaxing out in the lake all by myself :)  It only last about 5 minutes but they were 5 whole glorious mommy minutes which were much needed. Thanks Kyle for manning the sand castle building so I could have my moment.  So that's what we've been doing, more to come later.
