What to do on a boring Saturday night?

Make cookies!!! Aurora and I decided to make Jay some oatmeal raisin cookies because we were bored. She is such a big helper. She has her own apron that says "Baker in Training" and a chef's hat.

She loves to measure out the ingredients an pour them into the bowl.

She also likes to taste the dough. She tried to sneak a taste of the vanilla, but I caught her....
and let her do it. She found out that it only smells good.
Every good helper deserves to like the beaters.
Once the mixing was done she took over with the camera, the rest of these pictures Aurora took.

Storytime

Aurora loves to read. She will take books off of her book shelf and sit there reading them, but she has not figured out that there is less to clean up if you put one away as soon as you are done with it before getting another one out. Maybe someday she will figure it out.

Name that song

Right now this is Aurora's favorite song to see. Guess what it is from.

Our weekend trip

Last Saturday we went up to Long Beach with my brother-in-law to the Star Trek Tour. Aurora loves the original Star Trek which she calls "Kirk and Spock". SHe had fun sitting on the bridge and looking at all of the different things. Here are some pictures.

Silly girl

Aurora is just crazy sometimes.

The Princess

I know I should have expected it when I named her Aurora, but I still think it is funny that she thinks she is the princess. She loves to wear her dress anytime I will let her.

Posing for pictures

Aurora and I went with Jay on Saturday to watch him play basketball. She brought her backpack with snacks and just had to wear the sun glasses.

Here is a picture of her sweeping the basketball court for her daddy.
She loves to copy the things we do. Here she is stretching with Jay.

While the guys were playing Aurora was playing on the stage, and wanted to me to take pictures of her while posed. She is too funny sometimes.
