Are You Ready???

We are...we are!!!

We had such a fun day in Starkville gearing up for football season! The girls were so excited to meet Dan Mullen...can't you tell! :) John probably won't sleep much this week in anticipation of next weekend. We are looking forward to a great football season! Go Dawgs!

Dance Class

Ivy Kate and Izzy

Ivy Kate had her first dance class last week. She loved it. This is the only pic I got before the class started that turned out and look how sweet it is!

Sunday Afternoon at the Zoo

Ivy Kate posing before going into the zoo!
Maggie looking at the donkeys!

Ivy Kate taking a pic with the elephants!

Two Sundays ago, we ventured to the zoo after church. When we pulled in, we realized there was hardly anyone there. Why you might ask? Because we were the only crazy people going to the zoo when it is BLAZING hot!!! We had fun despite the heat!

Tea Party

Quick pic before the tea. Love my IK!

Swimming?

This is the result of swimming in the backyard with Maggie. I just let her wear her swim diaper because I was scared she would ruin her bathing suit.

Happy Birthday, America!

The girls are ready for the 4th of July parade. Ivy Kate and cousin Izzy drove, while Maggie and cousin Suzy rode in the wagon (in the background). It was a really fun way to celebrate the 4th!

Maggie's 1st Birthday

Sweet Maggie's cake that matched her invitation.
Maggie's smash cake!

Ladybug cookies for party favors. My sweet friend, Blair, did a great job on the cookies. They were so cute and tasted delicious! Hate I didn't take a close up of them. If you're in Tupelo and need cookies, Blair does a great job! :)

The aftermath of the cake...she liked it!

Hard to believe that our little bug is one!

Father/ Daughter Ball

John and Ivy Kate went to a father/ daughter ball the night before Maggie's birthday. Ivy Kate had so much fun. (I think John had fun too! ) All the princesses were there, so Ivy Kate got to see Snow White, Belle, Tinkerbell, etc. She was in heaven! Ivy Kate and Mickey Mouse
Daddy and his date...please look at the plate of food...what else would a three year old want to eat.

On another note, when we told Ivy Kate it was a father/ daughter ball, she promptly told me, "NO mamas and NO babies!"
