I am so sorry that we have not posted any pictures in a while! We have been busy as a family. Since the last post in March, Mallory had her 1st birthday! Here is a family picture from her birthday. We had a wonderful party with friends and family! Thank you to everyone for making Mallory's 1st birthday so special!

I just had to share this next picture with you. This is a Noah's Ark that my Dad (Mallory's Gannypa) hand made for her birthday! As you can see it is beauiful! Mallory loves it and I catch her sitting in it all the time!
We had a wonderful Easter with our families! However, Mallory did not like the Easter Bunny at all! This is as close as we could get without her screaming!

This is Mallory with her 1st Easter basket!


She got another one at Nonnie and Papa's
And another one at Gams and Gannypa's house!
We spent Memorial day at the lake with our family and friends! Mallory has really enjoyed Daddy's boat this summer. Here are few pictures for you to enjoy!
Riding on Daddy's boat with cousins Emma and Grace!
Playing in the water hose has become one of Mallory favorite things to do! She is playing on Aunt Kim and Uncle Joey's pier! She is having a blast!
We enjoyed a lake trip with the Prewett's this summer too! Jimmy, Mallory, and I along with Rusty, Mandy and Ellie loaded up the car and headed to the lake for the weekend! Two little girls equals ALOT of stuff! The girls had so much fun riding on the boat and playing on the pier!
Here are the girls at breakfast time!
And riding on the boat........
Here is Mallory again playing in the water hose! She loves it!
Mallory loves playing around the house! One of her favorite things to do is go get one of her books and sit in her chair and read the book. She thinks she is such a big girl!
Speaking of big girl, Mallory loves to feed herself with a fork now. Of course it is toddler fork. Jimmy and I were shocked how well she did the first time. We looked over and she was actually getting food on it and in her mouth!
Happy Father's Day!!!
Jimmy had his 2nd Father's Day in June! Mallory is reading him his card! She LOVES her Daddy!

A family picture on this special day!

Another one of Mallory's favorite things to do is work in the garden with Daddy. Here they are one night picking green beans! Jimmy has done so well with his garden this year! Ever since Mallory was born he has enjoyed planting flowers and his garden! He has Mallory to help him!

As you can see our little girl is walking! She took her 1st steps June 1 and by July 4th weekend she was up and running! This particular day I was home with her and she walked into the bathroom and managed to unravel the entire roll of toilet paper and bring it to me. She was so proud of herself! She played with this for at least 30 minutes!

Here are just a few recent pictures of Mallory playing in the pool at Gams and Gannypa's house!


A couple of weeks ago we went to the farmer's market with Gams and Gannypa. Mallory started off riding in the wagon and as you can see below she ended up pushing the wagon!


This picture is when Ellie came over to play! The girls love each other!

For the past year Shelby(middle), Mandy's sister(left) has been keeping Mallory and Ellie during the day! She is the best Nanny that we could ask for! Mallory and Ellie have been staying together since they were 4 months old! They have become best buddies! Unfortunalty Shelby has to go back to school and is no longer keeping the girls! We all went out to dinner a couple of weeks ago!
Don't be confused, Mandy is holding Mallory and I am holding Ellie. Mallory loves her Mandy and I would have to say that Ellie loves her Kelly!
Mandy and I plan on getting the girls together often to play so they can stay buddies!
Here are a few pictures for you to enjoy!

We gave Shelby a picture framed engraved with the girls names on it with a picture of them! Shelby loved it! I know she misses keeping them and we miss her dearly!!!

These next couple of pictures are at the end of the night. Both Mallory and Ellie were great all thru dinner. We even had someone comment on how well behaved they both were! Mallory decided that it would be funny to feed Ellie crayons!
