Two- Year- Old Well Check!


I am so happy to report that we have a healthy toddler! She had her well-baby check and she weighs 27 lbs. (50%) and is 35 in. (50%) tall. She is meeting all of the developmental milestones for her age. She is exceeding in the verbal area! She talks constantly and makes us laugh with her sweet personality! I am so glad God has blessed us with this beautiful girl! He knew just what our family needed when he gave us this sweet girl!

Panty Heads!





These girls are so silly! They love to put panties on their heads and giggle!

If we would have planned it.....







this would have never worked out! Aunt Mis and family were on their way home to IL and we were headed to AR. We were at a cross point at about the same time so decided to meet up for lunch! I wish we could do this once a week! It was so much fun seeing them again! Thanks for all of the hugs and kisses!


Happy 2nd Birthday Mia!


Ansley was helping her celebrate!


Our beautiful two year old! It is hard to believe our baby is two!

Giving hugs!

We celebrated Mia'a 2nd birthday in Illinois this year! She went to bed singing, "Happy Birthday to Mia" too cute! She is such a gift to our family. She is growing up right before our eyes. She has become a conversational talker, and tries to keep up with her big sister. Her personality makes us laugh daily! She is loved to pieces! At the end of this week she will have her well baby check, so I will post the update! Thanks to everyone who sent her birthday wishes!

Cornfield!





Mia discovered she had pockets, I couldn't resist this photo! She looks like a little farm girl!


It has been awhile since we have seen corn in July, so I thought I would take some pictures! The girls got to walk inside the rows, take the husk off, feel silk, and learn how it grows. It is amazing, growing up this is all I knew, when we pulled up to the field, Ansley said, "That's not corn, where's the yellow stuff?" I am sure she was thinking of the stuff on her dinner plate!

Cartwheels!


Getting ready....


Ansley was landing one and Mia is trying to keep up with her big sister!

Ansley is learning how to do a cartwheel! She is so funny! She practiced all weekend long!

Camping









We spend the afternoon and evening at the campground. The girls loved playing in the camper, exploring the tent, roasting hot dogs and marshmallows, and lounging in their new chairs! Thanks Grandpa and Kim for their first camping experience!

Hanging Out


Mia swimming in the hot tub!


Donuts on the patio!


Grandpa has trees that Ansley can hang from, this has been a dream of hers for awhile! She loved being a monkey!

So silly!

Fun on the Lake!




Idle speed.....both girls loved it, and then Ansley said, "Is this all the faster I get to go?"



So we went for a real ride! She was smiling ear to ear! Thanks Uncle Darin, she hasn't stopped talking about it yet. We love and miss ya'll already! Thanks for sharing a few days of your vacation with us!

Ansley is so cautious in so many things, but when it comes to fast rides she has no fear!

Rainy Day!





Aunt Mis stocked little art boxes for the girls! They were put to good use as we had a rainy day yesterday! Still tons of fun, blowing bubbles, painting, drawing with chalk, and hitting the outlet mall!

Just Hanging Out!


Kash was sharing Mia's Lovie! She had fun playing with him!


Ansley walked around trying to kiss him and pick him up!

Aunt Mis enjoying her vacation!

Our little monkey!

The girls love their Nana! When she was out of sight both would ask, "Where's Nana?" Ki thanks for hanging out with your baby cousins! I hope they turn out just like you!
