Busy weekend!

Sorry to everyone for taking so long to post. Between our trip down to IA and then getting ready for our garage sale we have been busy. So last weekend we headed down to IA for a wedding. We were there for four days so we got a lot of fun things squeezed in. Of course we went to the mall to do a little shopping. Since Alivia was such a patient shopper Grandma let her ride in a few rides.

Look at me Grandma!!!
My first school bus ride...

On Saturday we went to a wedding and of course Alivia came along. She did great minus a little bump on the head when we first got there. She kind of took over during the speeches though. When the best man got up to speak she broke out into a deep belly laugh which made all the tables around us laugh. I think the best man thought he was killing it even though it was a 15 months old stealing his spotlight.

Ready for some dinner.....

It was a late night for little missy. We did have to change into her pj's before she passed out for the night. Alivia surprised me and was an awesome dancer. I never knew she had it in her, but hey come on look who her mom and dad are....

Trying so hard to follow everyone else...

Enjoying some bonding time with Kristin....

Crazy nights....

Alivia finds it pretty funny to put my headbands on. Once she gets it on her head she turns into a crazy lady. She will run down the couch and laugh and not just her laugh, but her deep man laugh. It's so hilarious and will have to get it on video next time. So this is our new ritual before bedtime..... Hey we might have a runner in our future....

Look at me go

Some quiet reading time with dad before bed

A day with daddy!

We were so lucky last week to have daddy home all day. Clint took a day off due to a class he has been taking. We took complete advantage of it and brought daddy to the zoo. We had a lot of fun seeing all the animals and playing. Alivia really loved having the day to share with her dad.

It was such a great day that I hope we can have more of these in the future.... Thanks daddy!!!

Visit from Iowa

This past weekend Alivia got a wonderful visit from her grandparents from Iowa. They came up on Saturday and spent the day and night. Alivia loved having her visitors especially because they came up on their bikes. She played outside on them for awhile enjoying pushing the buttons and listening to grandpa's music. Thanks for coming to see me!!!

Hanging with grandpa while he shows me how to drive this bike.
Look I can do it myself....

I am such a lucky little girl.....

Alivia's day with Sam!

On Wednesday Alivia spent the morning with Sam at the zoo. They had a great time and it was a beautiful day to be outside. Sam and Alivia saw lot's of animals and even took a much needed break in the water park. We ate lunch out by the water area and then let the kiddos go play in the water. Sam was much more interested in getting wet and playing. Alivia was such a girl and stayed back and just let the sprinkles get her.

What an awesome animal. I think I was more fascinated by the giraffes than Alivia.
Playing in the water. See Sam is right in there and Alivia just stayed back.

Fun times.....

A little break at the playground before we headed to the farm animals.

Oh the chickens.... Let me say they are a little scary.

This is something Alivia is familiar with thanks to her grandma and grandpa Varley.

Summer fun!

This summer has gone by way to fast! Alivia has had a lot of fun doing all the fun summer things so far. We have really liked going on rides, playing house at home, helping mom organize and just lounge outside in the sun. She seems to amaze me everyday with her silly ways. These days we also like to just walk around the house. I think now that we have figured it out it's pretty cool to use our feet instead of our hands and knees. Life is good with the Varleys. We enjoy each day as they come and have as much fun as we can...

Enjoying the rides at the mall....
Playing house with our baby... What a good mommy she makes.

At least were having fun and not making to much of a mess.

Enjoying the beautiful summer day!!!

Presley's B-day Party

What a busy fun weekend! We managed to fit in the pool twice, shopping, grilling, ice cream, and a birthday party. These days it's difficult to get Alivia to look at the camera she hasn't figured out the whole "cheese" thing yet. Friday and Sunday we hit the pool since it was so nice out. Saturday we went with Grandma and did a little shopping and then Sunday was Presley's big birthday bash. What a great weekend with family and friends!!!

Anything with a handle is a purse these days...
Jumping with Papa

Not to sure about this

Watch out here comes crazy Presley

Fun...fun...fun
