Memphis Trip

Last week, Matt was in Kansas.. so we went to Memphis for the week.

We had so much fun!! It was so great seeing family..we even did 4 houses ( yeap, took everything, but the kitchen sink:) with us in 7 days!

I got home and realized, I didn't take any pictures except of Presley swimming and the children's museum!

 I was a little focused on the 2 families I took pictures of.. and honestly, it was just nice to enjoy family without getting the camera out.

Presley really enjoyed seeing everyone.. We saw Granddad, Grandmommy, Aunt Moe, Mitchell, Aunt Jennifer, Thomas, Luke, Papa, Gigi, Colby, Big Mama, Granddaddy, Grammie, and PopPop! 

Presley is LOVING the pool, she asks to swim all the time! She has NO fear in jump in off the side, but is a little afraid to let go once in the pool. We also enjoyed helping Big Mama cook one night :) That southern food from her garden is always a treat!! 

Grandmommy and Granddad's house ( swimming with Granddad)

Granddad and Presley :)

PopPop's and Grammie's

She LOVED this raft! :)

One day we meet Jennifer ( married to Matt's cousin Andy) and her two boys, Thomas and Luke
We ate lunch at Chick-fil-a, then headed over to the Children's Museum
Presley had a BLAST! She and Thomas really hit it off! It was so sweet to watch!! I hope she can always have a close relationship with them!

Thomas and Presley in the airplane seats :) 

ADORABLE!! 

These pictures below are HORRIBLE lighting.. but, I had zero natural light :)

Presley and Thomas LOVED "fishing"

The grocery store was the CUTEST..Presely just jumped on in, and started shopping.. I just LOVED the little basket! Her basket had lots of popcorn ( think she is taking after her mommy) At one point, Thomas pulled some flowers and put them in Presley's basket!! It was so sweet, what a gentleman! SO, Presley did the same for him :)

Snack time :)

These two loved the DANCE area!!

Presley has really been getting into dancing lately, she even looks over her shoulder and watches herself.. IT IS HILARIOUS!!! Think she has watched Alvin and the Chipmunks one to many times!! Glad we are getting her involved in dance classes:) even if her way is probably a little different than expected :) lol

Baby Luke as Presley calls him.. Such a CUTIE!

They enjoyed "rocking out" while watching themselves on TV!

My little Rockstar!

I am normally NOT a fan of selective coloring, but, I thought this was subtle enough that it looked pretty cute. Presley LOVES slides..she has NO fear! Thomas isn't a fan of tunnel slides, so he was standing at the bottom with me to cheer her on! :)

We had a great visit, but were also happy to get home to see Matthew! We will be returning in a few weeks for Matt and I's 30th Birthday party!

 I CAN NOT BELIEVE WE WILL BOTH BE 30!!!! I still feel 20! :)

4th of July

We had a GREAT 4th this year! We meet up with some neighbors and went to the Nolensville Festival & Fireworks. It was fun, we got to see some of our neighbors, meet some new ones, Presley got her 1st face painting of a little firework, jumped in the bouncy house with her friends..and ate some yummy watermelon until the fireworks began. It was 9pm before they started, but hearing Presley say, "Mommy, I love them, I love them!!!" was worth her staying up late one night!:) She was in awe, and Matt and I LOVED watching her face!! She also did lots of entertaining for the people sitting next to us. On man, said your child could be the next Shirley Temple! lol Not the 1st time we have heard that!!

 Presley's new friend, Taylor :)

Hugs!!

We also played on the playground for a little while :)

            So happy Matt got to go with us, and am LOVING him being home on the weekends!!

Weekend at the Lake

We had a wonderful weekend! We meet up with the Beach family and enjoyed a few fun days on the water. It was Presley's first time to ride on the boat, and to go tubing. She LOVED it!! Kim's niece, Ava, and her nephew, Mills were great playmates for Presley, too! Going to the lake it one of my favorite things to do, so glad we all got to go!

Kim had bubbles waiting on them..which made for happy kiddos!

Captain Presley..living the life!

Sweet Mills

Princess Ava

 My man :)

My angel!

HA!

Tired after a day on the water!

MOMMY..a WASP, AHHHHH!!!

This is her face. EVERY time she sees a WASP..and they seem to LOVE her little pool.
She is soo funny, she yells for them to GO, AWAY, WASP!! :)
One of my fav. pics, of all time!

She loves Daisy so much, she loves chasing her around the yard! I love that she has a little dog she can play with. :)

She is loving her movies these days.. I have to come up with lots of other activities..otherwise, she would be wanting to watch TV all day. 

She totally can push play on the remote now, too. :)

Here, "Mommy, this one, next!" :)

She can't throw a fit when she wants to.. She can be extra picky about these movies, too. :)

But, when she says, "Mommy, I love you." and leans in for a kiss..it makes those temper trantrums so much easier to put up with. I just am enjoying every moment, the easy with the hard, the fun with the not so fun.

She is loving her books..as always. Tonight, when asking her to pick out some for me to read..She says, "hmm, Mommy, let me see..." LOL love the little things she is saying these days. She also said, "Yeah, I think so" and "just a minute, Mommy!" today. Gosh, I think she grew up over night!

                                                                  Love this sweet angel!!!
