Day 164

I love so many things about this sweet girl of mine, but I especially love the swatch of freckles across her nose and cheeks. She seems to have new ones popping out each day since we've spent most of our time poolside. Couldn't decide if I liked this one better in color or B&W. So, I'm posting both.

Day 163

Another day to lounge by the pool. This family loves summer.

Day 162

Red velvet cupcakes always hit the spot. This was her treat for being so cooperative as we tried to get Eric's Father's Day gift done. Below is a sneak peak of what his framed gift will look like. We had so much fun sneaking around behind his back to get it accomplished. Thanks to Keara for the inspiration.

Day 161

Cameron decided to strap on the old shin guards and cleats to kick the soccer ball around in the backyard. I tried to get her to kick the ball toward me as I snapped a picture. Well, that didn't work out so well. She ended up nailing me right in the eye that wasn't looking through the camera. She's certainly got good aim. :-) I then opted for a shot of her practicing her footwork instead. (Less dangerous for momma.) The focus isn't what I'd hoped for but I still like the shot.

Day 160

It wasn't until this year that Cameron has really felt comfortable swimming at the pool. She did swimming lessons for the last two years without really wanting to get her face wet. This year has been a whole different story. She's swimming like a fish now, jumping off the side of the pool into the water and coming up with a splash. I'm so proud of her. Sometimes she lets her big brain get in the way of trying new things. She's like her momma and worries way too much.

Day 159

Mani - Pedi day for Cameron and me. We spent some good girl time together at the salon getting our nails done. She opted for purple with green zebra stripes and I went with a more low key pink with a tiny white flower. I love these little moments together. Such great memories for me and hopefully her too.

Day 158

Getting back on track with the 365 world. Our basket runneth over with squash. Anyone have any good recipes? I know about 4 ways to cook this summer goodness, but need more. We've been sharing the bounty, but don't seem to be making a dent. I need to find a food bank nearby that will take the extras.
