June... now we are off to AZ for the rest of summer!

Here a few pictures of June. It is the easiest and quickest way to remember what we did, hence the picture overload. It has been another busy month. We had had lots of fun so far this summer but sure are ready to get out of the heat here in Texas and get off to visiting family in the (mostly) cooler weather in Arizona. I can't believe how sad I feel at times though to think of leaving this place but knowing how much fun it will be to see family makes it all okay. Mallory can't wait to see her cousins, aunts and uncles, and Grandparents (and neither can we!). We will also get to meet Dash (Misti and Stratton's new baby), Reece (Monty and Kendra's), and Kambree (Britt and Aaron's). We are so excited!

Making homemade laundry detergent. Cost about 4 dollars and made 10 gallons! I think I will be doing this the rest of my life!

Ear piercing day. Poor baby.

But look how cute! She got over it super quick though thank goodness.

Mallory was asked to be the flower girl for our friend, Morgan's, wedding. We all went out dress shopping for the perfect dress and she sure did feel like a princess for the day. Thanks Morgan and Patti! Y'all are the best!

While shopping for dresses look who else ended up with a matching white dress. They looked soooo cute!

Kaisley trying food for the first time. I waited until 6 months, knowing that is the new recommendation but all the while feeling like she was wanting it much earlier, but, come to find out she HATES food! She has hated everything we have given her. She sobs, thrashes, and it even sends a shiver down her as she gags like it is the worst thing ever! ha. So, looks like my chunky baby is going to be the picky one. Crazy.
Oh, and in other news at her 6 month apt she was 17#12.5 oz. and 27 inches long. She is around the 77th percentile for weight and 84th percentile for height. Big girl! We sure do love her. She has been soooooo sweet lately!

 Malli hooping it up on her new basketball hoop she got a bit early for her b-day.

 Kaisley loves to stand (only if against something). She just looks so grown up standing. Crazy... Can't believe she is 6 months old!

 The cake I made for Malli's b-day. She loved it. Thank goodness because it too a lot of time and 4 cake decorating classes to accomplish!
We threw a princess b-day party for Mallory a few weeks early so she could celebrate with her new friends here before leaving for AZ. That way you double spoiled anyway, right?

Just ready for the b-day party to start.

 Cake and cupcakes

 All of the princess themed food.

Me and my "Ariel" just before the party. She was sad in this pic, I think she had just hurt herself or something. Got over it quick though when her little friends started arriving.

 Craft time.

 Games.

 The punch box I made actually worked! The kids loved the little hidden surprises.

 The gang.

 Opening presents.

 Just about to gobble it all up!

 3 candles!

And last but not least, this little one has been sick again but was such a good girl through the chaos of planning and throwing the party.
