1st Camping, 1st Fish, 1st Piano Lesson & More

 Sitting on the couch...looking out my front window when it is 68 degrees out....in the middle of July. So peaceful!
 Mallory's first time camping in the tent...in the back yard.
 She loved it. She called it her "camper".
 Loved jumping on the air mattress...
 Can't have a camp-out without hot dogs & smores!
 Yes it was chilly enough to have winter jammies on....this is her hiding so she wouldn't have to lay down.
 Her first fishing pole!!!
 First time fishing with her prince.
 Taking control....
 Surprisingly enough....she caught a fish. Mick said, "Mallory, you can't just reel it in. You have to let it sit for awhile." Mallory just kept reeling....I said, "Mick, she actually has something!" And she sure did!
 Eating with cousins!
Playing at the playground at an actual campground....with real campers. lol!
 Swinging!!
 A little blue cupcake for Aunt Lori's birthday!
 Sometimes its best if you wear a helmet at all times....lol!
 We have several apple trees in the back yard and Mallory LOVES to pick up the apples off the ground. She will do this every time she goes outside. She will put them in her pockets, her wagon, her bucket....momma doesn't mind! ;)
 So excited to pick apples....Miss Mallory Appleseed!
I decided to get my keyboard out to brush up on my piano playing skills. Mallory so enjoyed me playing some Disney tunes. So I thought I would let her give it go....I think lessons are in her future!

Some Days You Gotta....

 Some days you just have to snuggle in the dog pen...
 Naked!!!
(this is what happens when you leave daddy in charge)
 No, Mom...this is called Old School Cheerleader!
Playing dress up!!

Grow 'Em & Show 'Em At The County Fair!

I love county fairs. And Morgan County didn't disappoint this year. I always go with Dana to watch the pageant and once again....great time. The next night, we took Mallory to ride the rides and see the animals. She was very excited to see Grant & Lane and ride with them but she gradually started to enjoy them by herself...which is a great step for Mallory. She loved it! Unfortunately, we drive by the fair twice a day....
 Riding "Bullseye" and then later she was "Sheriff Callie"

 Watch out world...
 She was so excited to ride solo!


Two thumbs up!


 Get it girl!

 Riding the big roller coaster with Aunt Dana and loved it!!!
 Riding with Lane.
 Princess wave...
 She found her friend Emily from daycare in the bounce house.
 She loved the bunnies!

 Country girl petting the bunnies.

This is Clover....from Sophia The First...

America's Birthday Party

 Someone is excited for the parade to start.


 I taught Mallory to put her hand on her heart when she sees a flag.
 And of course the princess wave to score some candy...with cowboy boots.
 Mom/Daughter 4th of July Selfie
 Pizza's over the open fire. Yummy!
 Playing in the sand.
 Mallory making her silly faces when she didn't realize I was snapping photos.

 Apparently Collin didn't realize it either....this one cracks me up!

 Mallory & Grandma watching some fireworks.

Sparklers!

 She loved it!
 I told her sit and enjoy. If she liked it, she should clap.
 So she did....you could tell the difference between boy & girl. Boys like the boom, Mallory likes the pretty ones.
 Happy Birthday 'Merica!

 Waiting for the firetruck!

 Cuteness!
