Mackenzie's Birthday Party

Claire's best friend, Mackenzie, turned 3 last week...and we have been talking about her birthday party for weeks!!! Oh, the excitement!!! Talking about Mackenzie's birthday means we know talk about Claire party.....and its going to be a Princess Party...she completely came up with this on her own. Can't believe these girls are turning 3....they met when they were just 5 months old in the nursery at school and have been inseparable!

There was a photographer at the party and I can't wait to see some of the shoots of the girls!

Fishing on Mackenzie's pond....we caught a lot of seaweed:)

Mackenzie's "Suz"...(grandmother) helping CC fish....of course CC calls her Suz too!

Playing on the play house!

Water Park

Claire has spent lots of time at the Arkadelphia Waterpark this summer but Nene met us at the "new" waterpark in Murfreesboro. Perfect place for kids CC's age! If we went down this slide once, we did 100 times!
Playing in the waterfall!

She made the mistake of sitting on one of these one day at the Arkadelphia waterpark...emergency trip to the bathroom!!!...I think she learned her lesson!

Nene and Claire....wish you could hear Claire say Nene these days, it has quiet the southern draw!!

Momma with her little water bug....she loves swimming...but I think by this time she was growing a little sleepy!!! Swimming is hard work especially the 100+ degree weather we have had all summer!

Eden Isle

We spent a little time at Eden Isle 4th of July weekend. We did all kinds fun things! I just love sharing this little piece of heaven with CC. Eden Isle has to be one of the most peaceful places in Arkansas!!! Swimming in the baby pool....just her size!

We went on walk but CC ended up pushing the stroller instead of being pushed in the stroller...the next walk the stroller didn't go at all. I was so impressed she run all the way around the circle with me, such a big girl!

Showing off her rock collection...

Made a trip to the fish hatchery...she loves all the fish....

I just love this park because it has "old school" playground equipment....I even let CC push me, I think she had more fun with that...

CC is into climbing on everything these days!!!

Double fisting Popsicles!!!! She would have a Popsicle in hand at all hours if I let her...she probably ate 20 that weekend!

Eating a snack at the pool

This pool was perfect for her....and her Dora Skateboard...she has called it her skateboard all summer! Too cute!

We went to the pond to feed the geese....I just love these pictures

Claire wanted all the geese to come back so she could "pet" them!

Playtime on the bounce house with Mimi....

LAKE TIME!!!

lovin the boat ride!!

lake time = nap time!

CC doesn't go far without her book....and yes, this includes taking them on the boat!

Claire talking to Baby Annabel....can't wait for her cousin to arrive!!!

Ready for the fireworks.....screamed, cried, did not like them at all!!!
