Photoshoot

Since Ashton's in town, we decided to do a photoshoot of Kiley and Ashton. The pictures turned out great. Here's some of my favorites. I don't have any singles of Ashton on my computer here, but there's some super cute ones of him too.

In case you're wondering, the talented photographer is my dad!

Family Day

Shawn had today off work...the 1st Saturday in a LONG time. So, we had a family day. We woke up around 8:30am (all of us in the same bed because Kiley joined us around 5:30am...fun.)

We went to the Aquarium of the Pacific in Long Beach. It was our first time going and I think I would really enjoy this place more if we went on a week day instead of a Saturday. It was just crowded and I'm not good with crowds. Kiley had a good time. Any time we saw an orange fish, she called it Nemo. In the picture below with Kiley and Shawn petting the shark, it took Kiley a LONG time before she felt safe enough to pet this shark. She really thought the shark was going to get her.

When we got home, we did some chalk art. She's such a super artist.



Then, we had a water fight. Kiley lost...big time.




It was SO nice to have this much needed family time.

Happy Birthday Grandma Neener

Wish we could be with you to celebrate. Love you.

Yesterday, I got a dozen long stem white roses (my favorite) delivered to my office from Shawn. Getting flowers for no reason is quite possibly the best thing ever.

I took them home and put them on the counter, but all night Kiley insisted the flowers were hers. She wanted to hold them on the couch ??? Weird child, I know.

Thanks Shawn, I LOVE YOU!

My sister recommended I write a book blog...mostly because I read a lot, and when I say a lot, I mean A LOT. After thinking about the whole book blog idea, I decided I don't have time to write one. BUT, for anyone interested, I have an account on GoodReads.com. (my name on the website is Mickolus) OR you can search for me with my email address: mmsundquist@yahoo.com
On GoodReads.com, I list all the books I read, and a short book review.
If anyone has any book recommendations, let me know. I like reading just about anything, mostly fiction books. I especially like reading books in a series. Not a fan of religious or motivational/self-help books.
My favorite books are: The Host by Stephenie Meyer, Dear John by Nicholas Sparks, Redeeming Love by Francine Rivers, and Gentlemen and Players by Joanne Harris.

Thanks Grandma Neener

Thanks Grandma Neener! Kiley Loves the package you sent.
