Tea Party

On Friday Morgan met some of her sweet friends from school for a tea party.  She was so excited and the girls had a blast!  Now Morgan would drink actual tea so she chose chocolate milk in her tea cup...of course.  She ordered pb&j, fruit and a chocolate tart for lunch.  These girls were precious and it was fun watching them be "big kids".  Next year their teachers are going to have their hands full! 

 Enjoying their tea: Carsyn, Morgan, Tatum, Anne Bailey, Lilly and Reese

 So excited!

A Month of Summer Fun

I am not sure where June has gone!  We have been busy busy and had tons of fun!  I love these lazy summer days filling them with whatever we want.  Morgan has been going to Summer Fun Days at church and Macie is growing and changing every day!

 

We started the month with Morgan's first trip to Vacation Bible School at our church and she had a ball!  She would get in the car each afternoon and talk non-stop all the way home telling me what they did that day.  She got to sing the songs they learned at church the following Sunday which we all know she loved.  Getting up on a stage and singing?  Yep, right up my girl's alley!

 

This year I shared my birthday with Father's Day so Sam and Sissy came to celebrate with us!  It was a great weekend and I was able to relax a bit too.  Sissy also got some great time with the girls before her final surgery the next week.  We are so excited that everything has gone well for her and she is well on her way to being done and better! 

 

We also got another pool pass this summer and my two girls love splashing around!

 This girl loves to move!

 Yep, Morgan = Carsyn and Presley

 And she loves it too!

I came home from work one day and it was quiet.  This is what I found.  How many sleeping babies can you count?  I see three!

Singing at church.  That's my girl front and center!

 Happy days at the pool!

Mary Tannler got to invite Morgan to her brother's birthday party.  The girls had a blast swimming around and eating chocolate cake.  Happy Birthday Will!

She Said Yes...Again!

Last weekend we met Carrie in Columbus to begin dress shopping... and she found it!  It was the perfect day.  We went to the Bride and Groom in Columbus and they were just wonderful.  Of course, Carrie looked amazing in every dress she tried on, but we all knew when she walked out in "the one".  Mom started crying and that was it!  It was made for her and I can't wait to see her on the big day!

This was the sign out front coming in and they changed it when we left!

Birthday Party Fun

We got to go to Memphis to celebrate Meredith's 3rd birthday!  Stacey and I packed up the big girls in the car and headed for a day of fun.  We were so excited to be there and it was a perfect day for a party!  I'm not sure who had more fun playing, the little girls or us big girls!  After partying down at the playground we ate lunch and got a quick trip to Target in (of course).  It was a great day!

Moving and Shaking

Our sweet Macie is on the move!  After weeks of thinking she was going to take off crawling at any minute, she finally did!  At 8 months she put it all together and scooted herself across the room.  And the next day she started trying to pull up on things. Slow down little one!  We didn't realize she could pull up until one morning she was screaming in her room.  Now Macie normally wakes up babbling to herself and is content in her crib and smiling when she sees us.  The screaming was not right.  When I got to her she was flat on her back on the floor!  After my heart started beating again and I did a quick check to make sure nothing was broken, we calmed each other down.  She was fine and I was still shaking!  Needless to say Jeff lowered that crib all the way down before nap time! 

 

Macie has such a curious spirit.  Morgan would never have thought that she could get out of her crib!  She is constantly checking things out and watching.  I can see the wheels turning in her head all the time!  I'm ready for time to slow down because my little baby is growing up way too fast!  Before we know it she will be walking... all the way to college!

 And she's off!

 Trouble.  That's what this is.

Macie loves Morgan's too!
