summertime...

Aaah summer! This weather is such a tease and I feel like summer will be here any day now! I love being able to dress Kasey in outfits instead of the sleep and plays we wear when it's a bit chillier! 

We have been up to a lot of things in the past few days:
Saturday- went for a hike
Monday - hung up some pretty pictures in my room, took first daytime nap in crib
Tuesday - went to a basketball game, Grandma and Grandpa visited
Wednesday - Grandma taught me to put Sophie in my mouth, Hung out with Pop-Pop at work while Mom had an interview (yay)

Kasey has been doing great in the crib too! She slept through the night for the 2nd night in a row last night! I do miss her being so close and in our room but getting a full nights sleep is nice also. She was up around 6am I already feel, at 3pm, that we have had a full day. Since it was already 50 degrees by  7:30am, Kasey and I took Annabelle to the dog park this morning. Annie got to run around and exert all her energy by 8:30am -it was great!

Before the dog park I made a quick summery smoothie for breakfast an Almond Banana Smoothie. It was delicious, usually I make chocolate banana peanut/almond butter smoothies - but the chocolate over powers everything and this was refreshing. 

Then as a treat, since today is so gorgeous, I made a mocha frappuccino! I based it off of this recipe. Here is what I did:
1 cup almond milk
4 teaspoons espresso powder
2 tablespoons sugar
Dribble of chocolate syrup
1 tablespoon chocolate whey protein powder
Handful of ice cubes
Blend
Add topping: Whipped cream and extra chocolate syrup






I got both those ideas with pinterest...obsessed I guess. We also had this for dessert last night, way too heavy and large though - would have been perfect to split. 

We had a diaper malfunction and had to take an emergency bath... It was great! I love giving Kasey a bath and although the malfunction sucked I got some adorable bath time shots. She was extremely talkative in her towel after and is getting to be such a little person!

Now we just have to wish summer comes quickly!
