Friday iPhone dizzump

1. Just watching the Vikes game with a graham cracker.
2. Some friends brought over fresh walleye they caught in Canada. It was so good but a pretty big chore frying it all up. Plus there is nothing like a house that smells of fried fish for days. So delicious. 
3. Watching Percy!
4. Such a polite little girl while on a walk with mom!
5. Outfit of the evening.
6. Outfit of the day for work - clearly I like Chevron!
7. More fun in the park.
8. Fun at a concert in the park!
9. Fun with her friend Parker. He was showing her how to text and drive. 
10. Deep fried pickles and peppers with ranch. WOW! So good. But so bad.
11. My favorite way to end the day. Ali doesn't really like to be rocked anymore but falls asleep in an instant in my arms right before bed. Never want to put her down!

1. Outfit of the day. 
2. It never gets less creepy to wake up to this! Haha!
3. Yes, I love stripes! 
4. Thank the lord for the secure netting on the pack and play!
5. Just eating a snack. Very creepy show is on in the background but that's another story. 
6. A walk with my babe.
7. Another walk with my babe -- see why I need a fully functioning jogging stroller?
8. We made these grilled eggplant appetizers. I didn't think Brad would even like them but he loved them! 
9. Another shot from one of our walks! Our neighborhood has great trails, ponds, etc. so I figure I better take advantage when I can. It sure beats trying to workout on the boring elliptical, too.

1. Happy hour at our favorite spot. They have the BEST wings ever!
2. Went out on a friend's boat last Sunday. It was SO nice. I felt guilty being away from Ali ALL day though. 
3. No joke, this fellow had a "tramp stamp" lower back tattoo. I didn't even know that was possible. 
4. Outfit of the day. This dress is slightly ill-fitting but whatever. 
5. Fun at our neighborhood block party last Saturday.
6. More fun w/ my BFF slash neighbor!

Friday iPhone dump

1. Kind of an uneventful week in the life. So, here is a random OOTD. I felt like a referee with that striped skirt. Haha!
2. View from our seats at the Twins game. We were right behind the visitor's dugout. So close I could tell what color gum they were chewing. Too bad it was like 1000000 degrees out. Yowch! 
3. We took Ali to the 'puppet wagon' on Tuesday night. I had envisioned something very cool in my mind. It turned out to be some teenagers putting on a quick 'puppet' show using way too small, dirty, grubby puppets. I'm seriously considering donating $$ for some new, nice big puppets. 
4. Sweating spaghetti at the game. 
5. Just a family pic from the puppet wagon fiasco. 

Friday (aka Saturday) iPhone dump - Vaca Edition

1. Watermelon baby. I love that it always looks like she's taking a selfie but really she's trying to grab the phone out of my hand.
2. A selfie of mama and Ali. 
3. He refuses to take a decent picture with me. 
4. Probably 3 deep into pomegranate margaritas.
5. Another selfie (symptom of daddy never having patience to take pics). 
6. Looks so sad in her stroller.
7. Getting very bold with standing on her own. 
8. Hanging out on the deck.
9. Attacking daddy's hat.
10. Laces out!
11. Our only attempt at a decent family pic. And that's what we got. Fail.
12. Morning walk. I loved taking a walk with her at 6 a.m.! (I love sleeping more but whatever). 
13. Beach babes.
14. She loved a taste of mom's salted caramel nut ice cream. 
15. Vikings bib -- it was her first gift from the in-laws when she was revealed to the fam last April when I was 15 weeks pregnant. How I went that long without telling any family is beyond me...

1. Alison was super pissed when she found out we got her a flip phone... Oops. I guess we're behind on our baby technology and did not know a flip phone is no longer cool. Not only that, but they were before her time so she didn't even know she had to flip it open to use it. Poor first world baby.
2. She loves her some cucumbers!
3. Now this is funny. Our daycare provider gave me some of her daughters' old clothes. Packed in zip lock bags with the brand and size written on the bag and a photo of the outfit inside the bag. That is some crazy style organization!
4. She loves her some corn on the cob!
5. We had a fun night alone while Daddy was working late.
6. Until she tried to yank my hair out.
7. New frozen yogurt place = wow, so amazing! I never knew!
8. Laughing cow blue cheese, buffalo wing sauce dip I blogged about earlier this week. SO good!

1. This lil' girl likes string cheese! Our cat likes string cheese, too, so things have the potential to become quite contentious!
2. and 3. Loving a little wagon ride and hanging out with our friends/neighbors dog!
4. Another Friday happy hour of make/build your own bloody mary!
5. A little pic from the 4th of Jooly. Good thing it was like 100+ degrees and we were only outside to take a few pictures!
6. Further evidence of the build your own bloody mary. Also, I notice in ALL of my drink pictures that you can see Brad's hands typing away on his phone!
7. Ali got YET another ear infection this week. That's at least 4-5 in the past several months. It is just brutal!
8. Another pic from the 4th of July. I didn't get her a special outfit but I thought navy + white was good enough!

Friday iFun dump - Stay Cation Edition

1. We had our own little stay cation from Friday through the Fourth of July! It began with fun times at the pool. It's right across the street from us. So awesome!
2. Went to happy hour with a friend who moved to Florida a while back. It was STUPID hot on the rooftop so we ended up having one drink, splitting a sushi roll and going inside. But then I was like -- wait a second, she lives in Florida now, isn't every day like this?
3. Last Tuesday we took Alison to the doctor and found out she had hand, foot and mouth disease. Whatever that is. When I came home from work on Thursday, the kids at daycare had mailed us these little Get Well Soon cards. They were SO cute! I love the one from her actual daycare provider friend that says I love you and I miss you! 
4. Melancholy baby in the highchair.
5. Alison was on the upswing so we still went on our planned date night on Friday. Had a great dinner and went to see the movie Ted. It was actually very funny. 
6. Trouble now pulls herself up on everything she can find!
7. Eating her Get Well Soon cards.
8. Bucket head.
9. Couch potato.
10. Little miss now knows how to wave!
11. Having fun in her rocking chair.
12. Had our BFFs over for a BBQ on Saturday night. Alison loves her daddy's tablet!
13. Kisses at the pool.
14. She's been taking 45 minute morning naps and loves to sit up and chat with herself! Somebody shoot me.
