{Somewhat} Wordless Wednesday!

We are gearing up for a SUPER exciting couple of days as Samantha and Anderson are on their way to see us!!!! We cannot wait and are super pumped for some time together! So before I clog my camera with a ton of Anderson/Mellany pics....I thought I'd get up-to-date with my posts!


Trying on daddy's shoes


...and mama's shoes (these are my gym shoes and we happened to skip the gym this particular day....I think she was trying to tell me something...)



Her 1st braid!! (This was a big day for her mama)



The park with the Rahmann girls! They are getting so big!





Our culdesac is finally complete and we decided to have a party to celebrate and meet everyone. One of the neighbors has the bright idea of renting a bounce house and dividing the cost....it was money well spent!! 


Her daddy had been gone all day helping our friends DJ & Shantel paint their new house....she was missing him pretty bad!



One of our last pool visits...with Keagan & Avery



Counting/lining up rocks


Lunchtime...


Her first visit to the donut shop. She sure does know how to charm the older gentlemen!


"Diving" her jeep



Passing time till we go to dinner with Bud!


Is there any other way to watch Mickey?!


Quinn & Kyndall taught Mel a few new tricks at the park. Swinging on her belly and sliding on her belly. She just thought she was amazing!




Worn out little girl!


HAPPY WEDNESDAY!

Kansas City Vacation!

This past week, Johnny took a couple days vacation and we made our way to KC for a little getaway. We decided to take a couple days to ourselves and let Mellany get some Nana time. Our first day was spent shopping, playing games at Dave & Buster's and enjoying a couple meals sans a kiddo. (We really had no idea what to do with ourselves!) The second day we spent in the Great Wolf Lodge Waterpark (where we stayed) and eating BBQ before heading back to Lathrop. The adult time was much needed and we both came back refreshed!

Johnny's 15 year reunion was also this past weekend as was our town festival. It was really nice seeing old friends and having everyone meet Mellany. Mellany took advantage of the kiddie ride at the festival but wasn't a fan of the baby show whatsoever! Oh well, maybe next year.

As usual, I did a pretty poor job of documenting our trip through photos. Maybe one of these days I'll get a little better!

 A little game time at Dave & Busters


Shopping at Cabela's....some of the biggest fish we have ever seen!


Great Wolf Lodge Waterpark. We cannot wait to take Mellany here someday. 


At Arthur Bryant's getting our BBQ "fix". While it was good, we much rather prefer Smokehouse BBQ


Riding the cars...she could have stayed here all night long. And I'm not real sure where she learned to hold her hands in the air... :) 



Watching the big kids on the roller coaster. This was so cute!


Snatching some of dad's kettle corn


Baby Show Fun! ;) She had so much fun, she tried to walk off the stage....




Exhausted on the way home from a super fun weekend! (The baton is what we got her at GWL....I used to have one as a little girl, so I couldn't pass it up for her.)


HAPPY WEDNESDAY!!
