Sunday Afternoon

Posing in front of one of the fish tanks
Sunday, we had lunch at Hemingway's in Bass Pro Shops so I could meet my Great Aunt Karen (Nana Sharon's sister) & Uncle Garland for the first time! We enjoyed a nice lunch and then wandered throughout the store for a while visiting - I of course had to be in the "guy picture" as well - as you can see above. Then we went to Cold Stone Creamery and had some yummy ice cream. The visit was short but we all really enjoyed it, can't wait to see them again!

Wedding

Last Saturday, we attended my cousin's wedding. Maddi had so much fun dancing at the reception.
Congratulations, Brent & Jamie!!!
Mylee & I danced the night away

Vacation!

We recently spent a week at the Lake of the Ozarks with the Gray Family and had so much fun! We missed Lindsey & David (Maddi was glad Grady made an appearance for a couple of days), & Courtney, but we welcome Emma Grace Henson into the Gray family now - can't wait to meet her, much congrats to Lindsey, David, & Grady!!! Everyone enjoyed Maddi telling them she was wearing her "baby soup" to the pool, and Chris & I sure enjoyed not being at work for a week and spending time with the family.

Happy Fourth of July!

We had a fun filled day for the Fourth. We had lunch at Grandma Janette & Grandpa Darrell's and then to Justin & Nicole's for dinner and fireworks.

Happy Fourth of July!
Putting on my make-up (lip gloss) that Parker gave me for my birthday (I got it at dinner because he wasn't able to make it to my party).
This is me NOT enjoying the fireworks. I clung very tightly to my Mommy because they were so loud and scary.

Playing in the pool

Mommy & Daddy got me this way cool whale swimming pool that I played in for a very long time Saturday afternoon despite the fact that the water was VERY cold.

Mexico

As most of you know, Chris & I went to Mexico for my 30th birthday with Karl, Janet, Kallan, Karlee, & Claire (Kallan's best friend). It was such an awesome experience and we enjoyed our time to ourselves but we were also very happy to get back to home to Maddi! Below are just a few of the pictures we took.

Father's Day

Giving Daddy his Father's Day card first thing that morning Papa Randy & Nana Sharon came over for lunch and I was very eager to pose with Papa in my very cool shades.
Happy Father's Day, Daddy! You sure make a good foot rest!

Riding the Bike

I love to take my Dora bike out in the evenings and ride in our street. I like to scoot up the neighbor's driveway and roll down because it is a bigger hill than at our house. I'm just barely too short to pedal all the way around so Mommy & Daddy push me a lot too.

Afternoon at the Zoo

At the petting zoo
I chased these "ducks" around for a while
It was a pretty hot day so I had to take a break and get a drink in front of the Otter Exhibit.
Feeding the giraffe was pretty cool, although I didn't really want to do it myself. I just kept saying to Mommy "Do it again".
