Damara's 12th Birthday

We spent one afternoon at Uncle Jimmy and Aunt Heather's house to celebrate cousin Damara's 12th birthday.  The kids had a blast jumping on the trampoline and eating popsicles. 

Summer Fun - Part 1

Ella and I had a special play date just the two of us with Nadine and Adele.

We went on the play date to Zona Rosa with Patrizia and Marcos.  "Dude - what's wrong?  Let's just get this picture over with."

We were able to watch one of cousin Madalyn's softball games.

Good luck kiss from Daddy...

Your awesome coach, Ms. Lauren

This was actually after your trampoline performance...you were playing around.

You love the trampoline!

This is one of your favorite things to do on bars!

All done!  Here you are with your coach and medal!  Notice you had to bring an "aminal" with you. 

WE LOVE YOU, ELLA BLISS!!
