Meredith, one of my very best friends from college, and her little girl were in town for a few days this week so they came to visit us Tuesday night. When Meredith left, I realized just how very much I miss her...she is so fun and full of funny stories...at one point, I think Matt and I were just about rolling in the floor listening to her. And we were so excited to meet her little girl, Myla, who we had not met before. Anna Lauren and Myla were just normal two year olds and had a great time playing together.
Meredith, thank you for making time to come visit us...we enjoyed our time together so very much and look forward to seeing you again real soon!
Terrible I know, but this is the best picture I got of the two girls. They were not interested in sitting still for a picture so I had to get what I could take. And yes, they are jumping on Anna Lauren's bed and having the time of their life!
Sweet Myla...isn't she precious?
Meredith and Mandi...gosh how I miss the days of wearing each other's clothes, staying up late talking about anything and everything and so much more!4th of July Parade at Ridgecrest Baptist Weekday:
At 8:30 Wednesday morning, we went to Anna Lauren's 4th of July parade at school...and what a fun way to start your day!
This was a serious parade...police escorts and all!
You cannot really see Anna Lauren in this picture but it gives you an idea of what you see at a daycare 4th of July parade...it is so fun because the teacher's really make a big deal out of it for the kids and everyone has a great time...parents included!
And here is our Anna Lauren with her friends Carson (front) and Lake (middle). Lake was not too interested in the parade, but Carson and Anna Lauren seemed to be having fun.
Uh oh...Daddy to the rescue! Anna Lauren's hat fell off so Daddy picked it up and put it back on. However, he held up the parade because he couldn't quite figure out how to get the hat back on with the pony tails. I know...I should have done high pony tails but Ra Ra said do low ones. The big deal is that her hair even got brushed before going to school...she is famous for saying..."no, Ra Ra or Rhonda will fix my hair when I get to school".
Because we wanted Anna Lauren to take a picture with Mrs. Rhonda (morning teacher), she would not. So...here is Mommy and Mrs. Rhonda, whom Anna Lauren loves to pieces, and she should because Mrs. Rhonda spoils her rotten! 
And everyone knows Rachel (Ra Ra)...again, Anna Lauren was not intersted in taking a picture because we wanted her to take a picture. However, this one turned out pretty cute of Anna Lauren, Mommy, and Rachel.Happy Birthday:
Last Sunday I went into Anna Lauren's room and found her singing Happy Birthday. I had no idea she even knew Happy Birthday but obviously, she does. I asked her who she was singing to, and she said her bear. She then said her bear needed a cupcake, which she served right up out of her kitchen. Anyway, we went on about the day and never thought twice about Happy Birthday.
Well, Monday night I made some 4th of July cupcakes for our company that was coming Tuesday. She insisted we put a candle in them and sing Happy Birthday. I convinced her to wait to the next night when our company was there, and we would put candles in the cupcakes and sing Happy Birthday to Myla (our company). So we did...but...that wasn't good enough...the following night when eating cupcakes for dessert we had to do the candle thing all over and this time sing to Anna Lauren because it was her birthday.
It seems kind of silly, but she loved it, and I got the cutest pictures. I love anything that makes her "smile" this big!

Thanks, Mandi!! We had a great time too! I told Michael that being with you made me realize too how much I miss you. You know someone is a true friend when you haven't seem them in forever, but when you get together it doesn't see like any time has passed. I can't wait until we can get together again!
