Father's Day weekend

We had a nice relaxing Father's day weekend.  We spent time hangin' by the pool which is always more fun when Papa is there.  Mina has this little inner tube shirt that is a "life-saver" for my summer sanity.  Girl is fearless!!! This thing is the best.  She can float/ swim all over the place, and I am not rescuing her every five minutes since she is thouroughly convinced that she can swim all by herself.  We are having a fun summer so far and looking forward to having some quality family time when we go on vacation next month.   After dinner we made homemade strawberry ice cream for Papa, which is his favorite. The kids all LOVE to help & Mina just joins right in.  She is a little worker bee, always busy and trying to get things done.  She has about 20 words now, and uses them when she should.  It is really cute.  Her word list is growing daily, but for now includes, Hi, Mama, Papa, Hot, All done, Night-Night and several others.   The last photo is a close up of Mina, Moms of little girls will get this,,,, so I am at a cross-roads with her Hair-do..Bangs or no bangs,,, if I decide bangs, then she is ready for a trim. If no bangs, then I have to keep it back all the time...  I am leaning toward trimming up some bangs, which is strange since neither KC nor I have never had them, but we also don't have good hair for bangs... anyhow, probably more than you needed to know on this subject...
