Happy 3rd Birthday!!!

Hard to believe my little Meredith turned 3 last week! We had her Minnie Mouse birthday party the weekend prior and she had tons of fun!!!

 

Bouncing away in the bounce house....

 

 

The most exciting part for Meredith....eating the cake! She probably asked me 15 times if she could eat her cake! As she was blowing out her cake...yes her hair briefly met up with the flame...but Uncle Kedron came to the rescue and stopped it from becoming anything dramatic! Thanks Uncle Ked!!!



 

Opening her gifts from Dad, Mom and Lauren on her birthday morning.

 

 

 

 

One of her favorite gifts was from Lauren...her new kitty, Figaro! She asked if she could stay in her jammies all day...so yes, you can sweetie!!!  Love you so much!!!

 

Just another night

of gymnastics! Lauren is all about posing for the camera!

Can you guess who the class clown is?

 



You can't catch me!

 



1st Day of First Grade!!!

Another year started! Big time 1st Grader!!!

Getting on the bus...

Off we go on #27...

Arriving at school..

Patiently waiting in the 1st grade line outsie the 1-2 grade entrance...

In we go...

First day of 1st Grade..Done!!! It was "fun and awesome".

Gymnastics Meet

Lauren had her gymnastic meet this morning and did very well! She knew her routine down pat and didn't seem too nervous in front of the crowd. Lauren placed 5th and we are very proud of her...although the 2 Nana's would have scored her much higher...and who is to argue with 2 Nanas!!!

Nothing Compares

We love the fair! It was a wonderful, cool day and the girls had a blast. They were all about the animals this year. These cute little piglets were born while we were there. Lauren was a little digusted by how bloody they were though!

Watching the Dairy Show.

Was Meredith afraid of the 2-year old Gator? What do you think? Clay was nervous that she was going to grab it out of the guy's hands!!! Lauren's hand is on the bottom.

Lauren is obsessed with horses and touched as many as she could!

Add a calf to the list...

And sheep...they also touched a goat, chick...we built our immunity on Friday!

They love climbing all the equipment! This sprayer was Lauren's favorite.

A trip to the fair is never complete without a ride on the big slide!!!

Shelling some corn.

Summer Fun!

We have been trying to enjoy the outdoors since it has been under 100 now...that our summer is almost gone :) We found this awesome park with a splash park and playground equipment. We packed a lunch...swam, ate, swam and played. The girls were exhausted and had a blast! They love the water!!!

Love the fountains!

Practicing their floats.

Meredith loved crawling through the water..not caring if her face was under or not.

Lauren loved sitting on the fountains.

and standing under them.
