Happy 4th of July!

The photo above is from yesterday. Before our adventure to the mall.

The photo below is from Friday night. (I have no idea why this is typing in bold, hopefully it won't be this way on the blog) We went to On the Border for dinner (yummy). Nyssa has never had ketchup until this point. We were finished with out meal and Miss Thang was getting rowdy. I pushed her plate in front of her and of course she went straight for the fries. She saw that shiny bowl with the ketchup and looked at me as if to say, "can I?" Who am I to stop her when we are just trying to get out of the restaurant without a tantrum happening! It was so funny. It was pretty darn funny. Fries are now a way to scoop ketchup into her mouth!

We hope everyone had a happy and safe 4th! I can't believe it's half way through the summer already. I was just telling Chuck the other night how fast this summer is going to fly.

It was a rainy, yucky, cloud day out here yesterday. We hoped it would clear up in the afternoon so we could go to a festival some where. That didn't happen. After Nyssa's nap we ended up taking Nyssa to the mall. The mall on the 4th, so wrong. She had a blast playing in the germ infested play area. (Hand sanitizer is a beautiful thing!)

2 years ago we watched the fire works for our town from our parking lot. We watched them from our parking lot last night as well. Well, for about 5 minutes anyway. We let her run around in the tennis court for a while. She saw them but wasn't that impressed. (For the record. Last year was so much easier! She was only 3 weeks old and didn't move! LOL)

She's crackin' me up again. She can now find her nose. Her finger usually ends up, up her nose. But she finds it! Last weekend she decided that she can walk backwards sometimes. Out of no where you see her start to back up. She just laughs.
