Summer and Father's Day

We have really been enjoying the nice weather so far this summer. We took Lyza down to the river to feed the ducks and she thought it was a lot of fun. Unfortunately she doesn't quite understand that there is a difference between playing by the water and playing in the water so we had to constantly hold her hand to keep her out.

A couple of days later Kim took Lyza to the beach to play in the water and she had a great time.


One night we flew a kite and went to the park.
Kim saw online that you can make play dough with flour and dish soap - it didn't work but Lyza liked to stir it around anyway.
One of Lyza's favorite activities is to play with a container of uncooked rice with different little toys and things hidden in it.

She also loves to stand at the sink and play with water.
For Father's Day weekend we were in Moscow while Kim was on-call. Overall she got called in quite a bit but never in the middle of the night and usually at very convenient times (i.e. when both Lyza and I were napping :)
On Saturday morning we went to the farmers' market, which is always enjoyable.

The girls spoiled me this weekend and we had a lot of fun together.

Lyza has become addicted to blueberries! This was one of the rare moments that she wasn't stuffing hands full of berries into her mouth.
I got some fun gifts but the one I love the most is this adorable card that Kim and Lyza made for me!
And one of the biggest surprises of the weekend is when Lyza sang I'm so glad when daddy comes home to me on Sunday morning. I had no idea she knew that song. She has an amazing mother!

 
Here is a video of Lyza and I playing. She is a lot of fun.
 
Kim and Lyza's secret photoshoot produced some really cute pictures. This is one of my favorites!
Take care!

 I have been enjoying being at home with my little girl after working so much over the past few months. She is at such a fun age right now and we have a lot of fun together.
Playing in the tunnel we made.
 Lyza helping Daddy build a little fence on our patio.

 Playing with her new water table.
 Last weekend Lyza was sick for a few days. After taking her temperature a few times she found the thermometer and was trying to do it herself.
 Going for a walk. This nice trail is right behind our apartment building.
 Went to the library last week. Grandpa Bullock would be happy with the first book that Lyza picked out to read :)
 We have had a TERRIBLE oven in Moscow for the past 2 years. It is impossible to bake anything in it. I was very excited to bake something at our new place and have them turn out how they were suppose to! I love baking.
 Excited to wear her new "hat"
 First time out with Lyza's new bike seat. We went for a ride to a park and then down to the beach. You can't tell from the picture but Lyza thought it was pretty great.
Checking out the big moose. There are several of these mooses throughout Coeur d'Alene

 Reading books with Daddy at the library.
 Playing with her new finger puppets.
