West, TN Great Grandmothers



Friday afternoon we headed to West, TN to see two of Harper's great grandmothers (Josh's).  It took us a little longer than anticipated...but we finally made it around 8:30 to Memaws.  

Mally even came along for the ride (she had a MAJOR hair cut)
We explored, played outside, and even celebrated Harper's 2nd birthday.  


She was so excited to get the "Amulet of Avalor" form Sofia the First. 
Here she is posing with her Sofia doll. 
Memaw, Harper, and Daddy
After the present, we spent the morning outside. 



After a fun but quick trip to Memaws, we had lunch and got on the road to Grandmothers. 
Chillin with Memw
Sleepy girl had a short nap on her way to Grandmothers (about an hour and a half away)
After Harper's nap, we went to feed the fish in a neighbors pond. 




We saw some ducks





Then, we rode a tractor around.  Redneck fun! :) Look at my daredevils. 
After bath, Harper got to open another present. 




The matching Sofia Dress!  She LOVED it! 

This is one happy princess (fake smile and all-below)

All hail the queen and his princess. :)

The next morning, the first thing Harper asked for was her "princess dress".  
She is one happy little camper! 

It was raining most of the morning, so we colored and played inside.  
We eventually made our way inside...and played in the car. We saw bugs on the window. 

We took a rainy hike and rode in the wagon behind the tractor. 

look at that sweet little wave



After another short, but fun trip, we packed everything up and headed back home. 
it was a fun whirlwind weekend...but we are so glad we spent it with family! 
Hope you had a lovely weekend too!

Harper this Past Month (22-23 months)

 Another month, another post.  i can't believe this is my last "Monthly Update" for Harper (starting at 2, we will do random updates).  We have spent the last month different places every week and spending time outside.  No major change...just growing and talking more everyday. 

Some of Harper's Favorite Phrases:
"whats her name?"
"Bless You Momma"
"I want Ice Cream"

Here are some pictures that sum up our month:
so impressed with her talents
More time on the water



Had a water break after taking pup pup on a walk.

Before school starts, Harper spent two weeks with Kim, Audrey, and Mary Whitley. Those girls had so much fun...especially when they got to play dress-up. 

We Built a Fort 

we took a trip to the beach
you got new cowgirl boots and love them! 

You are growing and amazing us more and more everyday.  I realize I end these post almost the same way every time.  You are so big, beautiful, smart, and we love watching you grow.  I cannot believe that you will be 2 in one month. Best 23 months of my life!  We love you Harper!
