4th of July with Yaya & Papa

We spent 4th of July at the cool, wet cabin.  This was Mauren's first trip to the cabin and it didn't start out very good on the car ride.  Needless to say she recked her cute little red white & blue outfit but it probably was a good thing since the backup outfit was fit for the cabin.  She loved playing in the dirt and the dog's water.  We left for home after a quick shower but she did go home in a pull-up and her jacket!  I'm not sure if the cabin is someplace where we'll be vacationing soon!
"Mud pies are really yummy!"

The cabin crew

We got cleaned up and headed to the golf course.  The ladies just followed as the guys played.  Mauren made it through 6 holes and then decided it was time to go shopping!


The best part about golfing was drinking Papa's water out of a straw!



Sunday we were off to church and of course Mauren had to sport her new dress she
got from Beverly & Benton.  How cute!!

Sunday afternoon we took it easy and played in the yard.




relaxing in the pool

Jasper needs a drink...and a refreshing cool down!?!


Here's some pics that I've taken after saying goodbye to Yaya & Papa. 

Mauren's first corn on the cob...she loves it!!

Mauren was very naughty (probably because she didn't take a nap that day) and was sent to timeout.  This is how I found her once she could come out....I swear she fell asleep!!

Practicing her somersaults...future gymnast??

Mauren is talking up a storm.  She's forming multiple word sentences and is saying a new word every day!  It's a guessing game each day to figure out what she's saying.  Here's her latest request!

Daddy gave in and gave her a spoonful!
