The life of new parents

Family snuggles in M’s big girl bed!

Tuesday morning we went to Powell Gardens.  Maya loves flowers so she was on cloud 9.  She ran around like so happy, her head and arms flailing.

Kisses!

Smelling the flowers!

Looking for fish!

Running with her bouquet of flowers

Buddy!  Maya is in love with this dog!  She calls for him all of the time.  Here he is hanging in his yard.  Mom has it looking beautiful as always.

We went to the Deanna Rose Farmstead recently with Niki, Griffin & Kate .  We had a great time and had a little picnic after exploring the farmstead.

Such a big girl writing with chalk in the old school house!

M doesn’t like her hands to be yucky so she was all about this hand washing station that she could actually reach

Maya’s singing with her glow worm getting all revved up for the festivities.

Maya’s good friend Keira brought her parents over to celebrate the 4th with us!

Cousins!

Silly Aunt’s and Uncle’s!

Holding on tight to the apple from our tree hoping someone will take her to feed the horses!

The Amberson’s brought over some fun fireworks for the kiddos and Maya loved them!

Maya & I went to story time at the Raytown library for story time on Tuesday to meet up with Dawndy, Lilli, & Baby Luna.  We had lunch after at their house and then the girls got to play in the froggy pool and run through the sprinkler.

Buddy & Grandma came over to play too!

Sprinkler fun!

Maya & Will doing some shopping at the local Target after having breakfast at First Watch with Auntie Brie & Nanny Lauren.

Learning how to play tennis with Grandma Rosie & Grandpere RB.  We met up with Daddy, Uncle Lee, Aunt Brie & Uncle Corey for an evening of tennis.

Grandpere gave M her 1st tennis lesson on Thursday evening!

Her very own pink and red tennis racket and pink tennis balls!

Maya and I spent the afternoon outside playing with the water table and the giraffe pool.

M likes to drink the water as much as she like to play in it.

Feeding the new ducky from Nana Karen.

Helping Uncle Lee wash Mommie’s car.

Maya’s got her helmet on for safety first!

Daddy got the new bike seat installed onto my bike and then we took a family bike ride!

Uncle Lee & I went over to my Dad’s house for a short visit.  Maya had a lot of fun playing with Shadow.
