Maddie trying to convince little miss busy that it would be fun to stop for a picture in their matching outfits from Mawny.
Attempt number 2 at a picture
And we finally gave up... This was as close as it was going to get!
Waiting for fireworks on the 4th of July
Daddy and his girl
One of Lainey's many new faces...
My favorite picture of the summer
A summer favorite of Lainey's...riding in her wagon from Grandpa and Grandma O'Dell
Another favorite activity...the backyard swing
We love to take Lainey swimming...she kicks and giggles and really seems to love the water. It's a little nerve wracking for mommy however...she has no fear and would jump right in if I would let her!
Have you ever seen anything so cute and so onery? A special thanks to daddy for teaching her to stick her tongue out at him! Only problem...she sticks it out at other people too!
Our recent trip to the Eggen family reunion. We stopped by and visited Lainey's Great Great Grandma on the way. 
Some of my favorite memories as a little girl were my trips to visit Great Aunt Jessie and Great Uncle Hardy in Wichita. It was so nice to see them at the reunion and introduce them to our little Lainey. 
In June, Lainey and I tagged along with Mawny and Papa to visit Chad and Jennifer and the girls in Georgia. We had a great time visiting, swimming, and playing games. Lainey loved playing with Ava and following Julianna everywhere she went.
All ready for an evening walk
Two peas in a pod!
Julianna looking so pretty and so grown up with her grandma. I was amazed at how much she has changed. Such a little lady.
I love this picture of my dad being "dolled up" by his girls! Thank goodness for he and Uncle Seth we have baby Isaiah on the way. Maybe there will be some action figures or car races in his future! Although I don't think papa minds at all.
