Some Nice Days

I love the Spring and it has been very nice here lately. We have taken lots of wagon rides and play outside a lot.
I love my Daddy!
Yay! Chase me mom!
Flowers smell good!
Mommy painted my toenails for the first time and they match hers. I loved it so much and sat very still. I kept looking at them and talking to my pretty pink piggies!

New Friend / Nap

I met a new friend named Kaylee Murray. She is the daugther of my parent's friends Matt and Stephanie Murray. Mommy and Daddy went to school with them and they live in Fishers very close to us. We finally got together with them and had dinner. Afterwards, they came back to our house and I played with Kaylee for a while. She is so much fun!
I actually took a nap on Mommy, which never happens! I am not a cuddler and would rather just be put down in my crib for naps than held or rocked. So, this was a nice rarity that my mommy loved!! ;)

An Early Mother's Day Visit with Grandma Cindy

Since we have Max's first birthday party on Saturday of Mother's Day weekend, we decided to visit Grandma Cindy a week early to spend more time with her....rather than try to squeeze everything into one day. We had a great time at her house. She has so much land to explore!
We drove out to southern wells farmland to see some of our friend's cows. Daddy was raised on a farm with lots of cattle and he wants me to see some of the animals he knew very well as a child. I really liked the cows too and got really excited when I saw them!
We even saw baby calfs that were probably only weeks old. Yay!!
After seeing the cows, we thought we would make a surprise stop at the Beavans' household. Candice wasn't home but Ryan and Kolbie were just hanging out. So, we crashed their party and hung out with them for a while. Kolbie has so many fun toys to play with and after a while we got to know each other better.
Daddy and Ryan had a lot to talk about!
Kolbie is so sweet! She even got a kleenex and helped me wipe my nose...all on her own. Such a big girl! :)
I wish the lighting turned out better on this one but here we are with our daddies!!
Saturday night, we let grandma pick where she wanted to eat. She chose the West End restaurant in Decatur. It was delicious!! We had onion rings, fried fish, fried chicken and I had a grilled cheese. :) YUM! For lunch that day we ate at Bummies in Bluffton...another favorite for sure! Grandma read me a story that night before I went to bed. I love my Grandma and I wish her an absolutely fabulous Mother's Day! We are so blessed to have you in our lives!

BBQ at Mark and Kari's

Uncle Mark and Aunt Kari invited us over for a cookout on a nice Thursday evening. So, Austin, Matt, Susan, Mommy, Daddy and I headed on over for some BBQ. We had chicken, broccoli/cauliflour, cheese and margaritas...well some of us had those. Daddy put Austin and I in the tree.
He also put us in the flower pot!

My daddy is silly!

Hilary's Baby Shower: Feather Her Nest

Mommy hosted her friend Hilary's baby shower at our house. Hilary is due with Baby Heffernan on July 22nd (3 months exactly ahead of mommy). The shower was planned by Emily and Megan and they did a super fantastic job with everything. It was thoughtful and beautiful with a theme of "Feather Her Nest". There were about 16 adults and four kids at the shower so we had a house full.
Before the shower, once everything was ready Emily and Megan took some time out to read a book to me!
Megan got these cute cupcakes that had birds in a nests! There were chocolate chip, strawberry spice and angel food cake flavors.
Emily did a great job with the bouquets.
Lots of presents for Baby H.!
Everyone brought there favorite book to 'feather her nest'!
We had homemade chicken salad croissants, fruit kabobs, cupcakes, brownies, veggies and dip and a cheese tray! YUM!
Lemonade and Lemon Water......and wine for those of us who could have that!
Austin was here at the shower too and he loved playing with my new power 4-wheeler that daddy got for me!
Looking at some pictures of Megan's recent trip to Germany to see her husband Chance. And, Emily Mitten's pictures from Ireland and Amsterdam.
Emily Mitten, Garrett and Natalie. Garrett is getting so big just like me!
See, we did have a house full!
This was the play corner. It is hard to see but Max, Austin and I are playing with lots of my toys.
It was a rainy day.
Here are all the Girls Night Girls! Together at last!!

Exciting News!!

Guess what!!!! I am going to be a big sister!! Mommy is pregnant and due with baby #2 on October 22nd. We are all so excited! I will be 23 months older than my new sibling. We are not going to find out if it is a little sister or little brother until birth day....like mommy and daddy waited to find out with me. Either way, it will be great!

Oh, and I almost forgot, I am going to get a brand new bedroom too. Baby Lieurance will take my current room...the nursery...since it is already gender neutral and will be ready to go. So, I will get a big girl room with lots of "girlie" stuff!! Yippee!! Being a big sister is going to be fantastic! (Oh, and if you see the scratches on my nose in the picture above, that is from nose-diving on the sidewalk a couple days ago...ouch!)

Playtime with Daddy

Daddy and I like to play with the basketball outside.
I am so big and can pick up the ball and carry it all by myself!

Uncle Matt's Birthday

Sunday was Uncle Matt's birthday so we celebrated with him at his favorite dining spot...Don Pablo's! His mom, Grandma Joy was there, as well as Austin, Aunt Susan, Pappaw Dan, Mommy, Daddy and I.


Wait a minute...who put this one in there! I stole something of Mommy's from the laundry room. hahahahahaha! I think it will be a long time before I need one of these, but I loved having mommy chase me for it!
