July 2 - “Mommy, may I please have some carrots for my baby bunnies?”
“Sure, in just a minute.”
“Okay! That will be cool! And funny! And really amazing!”
(When in doubt, just use all the adjectives you can think of.)

July 3 - We had a fireworks show at church. (Daddy helps shoot the fireworks off!) You and Jordan watched the show together and you LOVED it!
July 4 - We had dinner at Nana & Grandpa’s and you had your first sparkler. How exciting!
July 5 - You call QuikTrip “Quip Trip.” Also, Tatum recently handed down a pair of pink cowgirl boots that you try to wear everywhere, even though they are still too big for you. But they’re so cute!
July 6 - The men’s singing group from our church (which includes Uncle Caleb and Uncle Jacob) sang the national anthem at tonight’s Drillers baseball game. Here is a photo of you and Jase at the game.
July 8 - Today you spread your blanket out on the living room floor to practice your “carpet wheel.” (You meant cartwheel.)
July 11 - My Aunt Kristi and my cousin Kristin and all four of her kids (Hannah, Gideon, Gracie, and baby Haven) came to see us! We played at home, went to eat at the mall, got drinks from Sonic, and played at the splash pad. You loved baby Haven, which is great since your baby sister is on the way!
July 12 - Almost every Friday we go and pass out church tracts together. You love when Daddy lets you "drive" in the neighborhood when we're finished. Check out the video!

July 24 - We went to the water park in Muskogee today with Grams, Aunt Jenn, Jordan, and Tatum. You played mostly in the little kid area and loved the lazy river once you got over your fear of it. It was a really fun day!
July 26 - Breakfast with Daddy and Mommy at Waffle House - our favorite breakfast spot.
July 29 - You love to ask me how to say things in Spanish. But you also love to make up your own “Spanish” words. You will mumble something strange like “blah de blah” and then tell me that it means “Come over here!”
And here is a video of you talking with Daddy about your day. You like for him to tell you all about his day and then you tell him about yours. It's so sweet.

July 30 - Today you “colored” on our brand new car with a rock. Seriously, our car is 3 days old and is the first brand new car we’ve ever owned. You found a rock and decided to scribble on your car door with it. Oh my…
July 31 - This morning you snuggled with Pixie when you got out of bed. And then at storytime you played the “bongles.” (The bongos.)
August 5 - Today you had your birthday party! We had a girls only party at the splash pad. Your guests were Jordan & Tatum, Natalie & Savannah Hefner, Hattie Boley, and Zuri Dar. Here are a couple of photos.
August 7 - Today was my birthday. Grams came to spend the day with us! We went shopping and out to eat at Cheddars. (Grams’ birthday is August 1st, yours is the 4th, and mine is the 7th. We were all celebrating our birthdays together!) But before all of that, we went and got pedicures together. You loved your first pedicure! Your toes looked so cute when we were done - pink with white polka dots and sparkles.
August 9 - I have no idea what this means, but you said it and I thought it was funny -- “Is that the end of the house and then we just fall in love?”
Today we also tried a little burger joint we had never visited before - we like to eat lunch out on Fridays since Daddy is home with us. It was called Bill’s Jumbo Burgers and it was delicious! Here is a photo of you and Daddy at Bill’s.

August 15 - Today we went to the zoo with Natalie and Zuri - fun!
August 18 - “God made spit in your mouth so that your teeth and your mouth won’t fall out.” Who knows what that means!
Today we finished your “big girl room.” It’s the same bedroom you’ve been in, but we painted and put new furniture in it. You were extremely excited about your loft bed. You call it your “tall tall bed.” You also chose the paint color for the accent wall. I was afraid that it would be too bright, but it’s actually super pretty! Great choice!

August 22 - Called pancakes “pant-cakes”
August 24 - Asked “Why is the cat rumbling?” She was purring.
August 30 - Today you told me, “I am the biggest big sister ever.” I love that you are so excited to be a big sister! Just three more months until Ariana is here!
Here is a photo of you kissing my belly and talking to baby Ariana just a couple of days ago.
And here is a silly one of you in the car.
