Dutch Wonderland July 22, 2013

In a Nutshell: We took Scarlett to Dutch Wonderland. It was her first trip to an amusement park, and I'd have to say it was a success. The weather was great (no rain), and she had a lot of fun! Her favorite ride was the "Turtle Whirl."

Justin's Birthday! (July 18-19th)

In a Nutshell: Justin turned 24 on the 19th! I kicked him out for a few hours so I could work on his birthday surprise. I made him a Tardis cake since he's been into Dr. Who. He loved it! We had the cake on the 18th, and on his birthday we went to Pf Changs and did some shopping.

Scarlett's New Do

I thought I'd straightened Scarlett's hair to see how long it is. She looked so cute and was very patient while I styled it. Of course it wasn't long before it curled back up. 

Shopping Day (July 8th 2013)

In a nutshell: Scarlett and I went shopping today (Ross and the mall). Let's just say that you can never find anything when you're looking for something specific. All I wanted was a pair of plain denim shorts. I had to settle for a pair that weren't exactly what I was looking for, but close enough. When I got home and tried them on they were too small, so back to the mall I go (tomorrow). Oh don't let me forget that the store was advertising all their shorts at 50% off, but the pair I got were not. Anyway, a lot of the other stores had really good sales, and Scarlett got an outfit too. She kept saying she wants to wear it to the beach.
        Scarlett is going through a phase where she doesn't want to get a bath. I was finally able to give her a bath and wash her hair without her putting up a fight. We hope this phase ends soon.

After her bath. Finally, nice and clean!

Nothing Much (July 5th 2013)

In a nutshell: We didn't do much today, just clean up the apartment and run errands. Scarlett and mommy stayed home all day. We played all day and made dinner. We ended our day with some hot tea and princess milk (what scarlett calls strawberry milk).

Such a good helper :)

Dessert (because last time they turned out more like chocolate cake)

This video is from a few days ago. I thought it was so funny, I had to post it!

July 4th 2013

We started the day off by going to the park. Then we went to a cookout/pool in the afternoon. We left a little early so Scarlett could get a nap in for the day and could stay up for the fireworks. Later that night we went to watch the fireworks in Lititz, which started at around 10pm. Unfortunately, we got stuck in traffic for over an hour after the fireworks were over and didn't make it home until after midnight.

Welcome to "The D List"

Thank you for stopping by our page! I decided to create a blog page for our family to post pictures and memorable moments. Since I'm not very good at keeping up with scrapbooks and photo albums, I thought this would be a good way to keep up with that sort of thing. This page will be like our online album/journal/scrapbook. We'll post pictures, videos, and short writings about our daily activities. I'd like to get the blog printed into a book once we have enough content. :)
