Friends in town

It was soo nice, especially for Dustin, to have our friends in town this weekend.
I know Dustin really appreciated the support and enjoyed having a little bit of fun during this hard time in his life. So glad we have such great friends that were able to keep our minds off of things for a few hours.
We had a good time decorating for Mals birthday, relaxing at our house, drinking Sonic shakes, dinner at Tokyo Steakhouse and swimming at Chad & TeeTee's house.




 



Love miss Mal & Puff!!

3rd Birthday Chalkboard

Mallory looked so cute today for church so I took her picture a day early!!
Love her many faces!!

Here she is on her actual 3rd birthday!!
Mallory is 35 1/2 inches tall and 27 1/2 pounds!
(I measured & weighed her myself because she doesn't have another physical until she is 4 years old)
I asked Mallory what her favorite things are right now instead of me just guessing and she said:
1. Mermaid Tails! I don't know why but she is obsessed with them!! She likes to pretend she doesn't have feet and swim like a mermaid.
2. Mini Ponies- Mallory loves to ride the horses!! We take her to Famers Market and let her ride them. I love to see her soo happy!!
3. Barbie Movies- We now own or have on our DVR all the Barbie movies but especially the ones that have mermaids or fairies in them! She can watch the same one 50 times and it's still not enough. (She did this with Tinkerbell too)
4. Princess Hair- She loves the long Ariel princess hair! She has that wig and Nonna got her a Tangled/Rapunzel wig that she loves to walk around in. Soo cute.  
5. Kissing Colt- Mallory is soo lovey. She likes to attack Colton all the time. She kisses on him and hugs him. Its adorable.
6. Reading Books- We love to read around here! Before bed, we read at least 2 or 3 books. I have to hide a few because she has had me read it to her so many times, I have it memorized. Crazy girl!


Love our fun-loving, sassy, wild girl!!!

4th of July

The Sunday before 4th of July, I dressed the kids up in Red/White/Blue!!
They looked soo cute!!! Love Dustin and Mallory!!

Colty and I spent most of church in the mothers longue like we normally do! 


4th of July morning was fun. We hung out as a family and relaxed. I went grocery shopping and we played with the kids! Dustin went gun shooting with my dad, Brent & Shaun. My mom and I took the kids to lunch. 
We went to my moms to swim and then to Buchanan to watch the fireworks!
We've been doing this for 7 years or so now and I love it!!

We saw a Mermaid there! Mallory was in heaven!! Do you see that genuine smile on her face!! She is obsessed with long princess hair and mermaid tails!!! 

Uncle Jerrod was throwing popcorn up in the air and catching it in his mouth. Mallory thought this was the funniest thing ever. She was trying to do it too! So fun!



Love this holiday!!! The warm air, swimming, BBQing and the fireworks!!
Great family memories!
