So we had one of the busiest days we have had in a long time after an already exhausting week. I got the chance to go to Memphis last week for a nice little visit, and I had a wonderful time! I had some very gracious hosts, and it was so good to see so many friends! I was ready to go home by the end of the week, but I am looking forward to our next trip back...with a husband and TWO girls (it's SOOOO weird for me to say that!).  While I was there I made my first "matchy matchy" thing for the girls.  We LOVE Sun San's, and we love the color red even more, so I thought these shoes would be appropriate.  Lainey wears her current pair at least twice a week, and I already have visions of 4th of July matching outfits in my head! :)

My poor girls are doomed to have huge feet like their mother, so I honestly bought these on the hopes that their feet won't be too big next summer!

Back to today...

We had a fun day at a local amusement/water park called Fun Plex with Jovan's work.  It was a beautiful day, and we had a great time hanging out with his colleagues and enjoying some family time together.  Lainey had an absolute blast playing in the kiddie pool area and especially enjoyed the wave pool.  After she spent the week at Nana and Papa's a few weeks ago, she has been a little fish!  I don't know what my mom's tricks are, but whatever she did worked.  Lainey has been going under the water like a champ, and we are no longer afraid to get in the water without her Puddle Jumper. 

That picture makes me kind of sad.  She is growing up SO fast, and I am reminded every day that these are her last times as it being only her.  I'm not sure what is going on lately, but she is really testing my patience and limits.  I feel I am constantly having to step back and take a breath and remember how lucky we are to have her.  I am trying to enjoy every moment with her and making sure she knows how special she is to us and how she will always be our baby.  I won't write much more, because I can cry at the drop of a hat these days! :)

After our long afternoon at Fun Plex, we headed to the Storm Chasers game with our neighbors.  I've mentioned before how blessed we are to have moved into such a great circle, and we had a great time hanging out with everybody.  Our ballpark is basically out in the middle of nowhere, giving it a completely different feel than the Redbirds.  Tailgating is the thing to do at these games, and naturally we took part.  I didn't get any pictures of that, but here are a few of our sweet girl. 

Mommy and Lainey being silly!

Lainey and her girlfriends from our Circle (that would be the Southern term for "cove")

This preggo is exhausted and is ready to go to bed after this long fun day!
