Smore Night

We tried out our new firepit last night.  The girls had a blast roasting their own marshmallows!  I was surprised they went to sleep ok after that much chocolate!

 Even Taizley was roasting her marshmallows

Crazy Lady!  She crawled into the storage bin - reminded me of when she was in the bucket
of water at the lake!

Fake Nails

Ever since cousin Evie had fake nails at our house, Tatum has been wanting to wear them.  Finally, I let her put some on the other day.  She wanted them left long, but then decided fake nails weren't as great as she thought :-)  She only wore them for about 20 minutes and took them off to go and play!

End of Year Swimming

Summer is coming to a close, so we spent all day Saturday swimming.  We started out with a pool party at one pool and then moved to second pool to finish out the day.  The girls had alot of fun and made us wonder - where did the summer go?? 

I love this picture of Tatum & Taizley - they are doing the exact same thing :-)

Cute Picture

I love pictures of the girls walking together - this one I took on the way out of church a few Sundays ago.  They looked sweet together :-)

Kirksville

We were in Kirksville, Missouri a few weeks ago for Mark's high school reunion.  We were able to see all of his friends and their families which was so fun!  The Willman cousins (from North Carolina) were there too, so we spent some time catching up with them!  We also visited Mimi's site - can't believe it has been 9 years :(  We miss her everyday!!

Cousin Time

Our North Carolina cousins were here for a few weeks so we got all the family together!  It was super busy with 22 people to coordinate!  The last part of their trip we went to Kansas City to catch a Royals game and  hang out!  Fun Times!!

Hard to get everyone to look at once!

Taizley's Harmonica

Taizley's newest thing is to bring her harmonica and cowboy hat everywhere.  She plays her harmonica all day!  She might put it down for just a little while and then I will hear her playing somewhere else in the house.    
She also says "Hee Ha" - which I was trying to get her to do, but she wouldn't do it on demand of course!

Arkansas Fun

Last week we traveled down to Arkansas to spend time with Mark's whole family.  It was so much fun and the week flew by!  We miss everyone already!

Papa with all of his Grandkids - Taizley was not having it! 

Taizley was striking a pose - with her paci of course!! 

Papa with his Tindall Girls 

Taizley loved playing the piano in the house - she would even sing along too! 

Best waterpark picture - little stinker! 

Go Carts!! 

Talia and Taizley with cousin Tanner! 

This is what we called Arkansas swimming!  Taizley had the most fun either tubing or sitting in this bucket of water!  Too funny!

Father's Day

It was a gorgeous Sunday and a special time to celebrate Father's Day!

Happy Father's Day to a FUN Dad!! 

Dental Graduation

My sweet friend Mandi graduated from Oregon's dental school this past weekend.  I traveled out with my parents and to attend.  I am so proud of her - way to go Mandi!

 This was the view from the dental school, the students could ride the tram down the mountain to access the other hospitals.

Portand was one of the prettiest areas of the country!

It had been awhile since I've been on vacation alone with my parents!

Lake Time

We went to the lake a few weekends ago with our dear friends - 9 kids (7 girls, 2 boys) and 4 adults!  We had so much fun - ready to go back!

Making sand castles 

Looked like mud wrestlers! 

Surprisingly Taizley loved the sand! 

Lots of tubing! 

Slumber Party

Worlds of Fun

We took the girls to Kansas City and went to Worlds of Fun.  It was a gorgeous day and Grandpa & Grandma were able to meet us!  Grandpa rode the Mamba for the first time and Tatum tried out the Prowler!  We all had alot of fun!

Kid's Cosmic Coaster 

Taizley loved Snoopy! 

Probably a little lame for Tatum after doing the Prowler Coaster! 

Tatum's Tooth

Tatum lost another tooth!  This is her fourth tooth gone, but the first top tooth :-)  We were at Chick-Fil-A in Kansas City when she lost it! She has two more loose ones - soon she will be toothless!
