Family walk and bowling with friends

We started our day off with a nice long walk, this time hoping to wear the dog out, not the children!  HA!

She thought we were going for a ride!  Not exactly, sister.


All ready to go!   And yes, Mia insisted on going for a walk in a dress.  She is a MAJOR clothes diva already. Changing constantly.  Loves dresses and play heels.  God, help me!


Mia wanted to walk Sam, and surprisingly, Sam didn’t pull her at all.  She was actually so good, there was slack in the leash and it kept getting wrapped up in her legs!


Dave tried to walk Sam up in the big field, but all she could do is keep looking back to make sure the girls and I were still there :)  Protective girl!


After our walk, the girls and I headed to the Bowling Alley with my friend Katie and her boys Alex and Max and the little princess Jenna!  Mia just LOVES Alex!

Mia’s very first time bowling…


Max, Alex and Mia




She got so excited to knock down some pins!  HAHA


Sweet matching little sister!


We then went to Jason’s Deli for lunch and Gigi’s for cupcakes.  Unfortunately, Mia didn’t get a cupcake due to behavior and not listening to her momma.  As much as it broke my heart and I wanted to cave in and get her one, I had to stick to my word, so that she knows I am serious. But, I REALLY wanted to cave.

On the way home, we stopped by Poppy’s house because Grand Poppy was over visiting.  He just got back from Paris and brought the girls back some cute shirts! 

We came home. Mia had meltdown of epic proportions. Stayed in her room for an hour. Multiple spankings. Momma in tears.  Story for whole different post.

Let the swimming days begin

This morning we had our outdoor family pictures.  It. Was. HOT.  We were all miserable and sweaty, so even though it was a bit late, we decided to go swimming!
We had our first official swimming day today.  The kind that actually requires swimmies and floats and momma and daddy can get in past their shins!  It was also Finley’s very first time in a pool!!

Miss Hair didn’t even hesitate and jumped right in!  Went straight under the water and LOVED it!!  That’s my girl!


And this one? Didn’t mind a bit!  She actually was smiling and laughing and loving it!




Uncle B even joined us!!
**I just have to add that while we were having our pics taken, Ben stayed at our house and cleaned it for us!!!  What an amazing brother I have, y'all!"**


Mommy and baby relaxin’.  And?  Matching RED toes :)


Did I ever mention that I LOVE summer time?!

Father’s Day 2013

Mia woke us up this morning and was sooo lovey to her sister!  I will never tire of seeing this love toward each other.

All of this was UNprompted.  Just pure sisterly love!


We all got ready for the day and Poppy and Ben came over (Meme was working, again.)  We decided to do something different and eat somewhere we have never eaten.  So we headed downtown and ate at an amazing little bar.  The food was delicious and it had a Law theme, which was right up Ben’s alley!





Front camera fun…



We then walked around downtown, took pictures, enjoyed the weather and just cherished the quality time spent together.





A few of my favorites :)


We then went to the Louisville Slugger Bat Museum…

She get it from her momma.  No seriously. Her daddy is no good at baseball.  He should stick with football ;)




Me and my daddy, like old times!  HA


He caught the baby!
