Visiting the Traveling Wall

Today we met Nana, Papa and Aunt Shirley in Elmore to visit the traveling Vietnam Wall memorial.  It is a replica of the actual wall that travels around the country.  It was brought to Elmore for a few days, today being the last.  It is a very sobering thing to see.  So very many names on that wall!


 Saluting!





 The little historic house that stands next to the old Elmore train station.



 Don't know what it is about this one but I really love it!
Cool door pics! :)


 Finally playtime!!! Papa was pushing Stella and he was pretending that she was kicking him.  She was belly laughing so hard.  Hilarious!

While I'm at it.....

Some random iPhone pics to share.  Here are my girlies at Stella's ENT check-up.  Sissy was there for moral support. Haha!

 Mya showing off her AWESOME coloring on the picture that her preschool teachers sent for her to color and bring back on the first day of school, which is September 4th!
 Standing next to their stars for the summer reading program.  This was the first day.  They got to attach a cut-out shape for each 100 minutes they read.  At the end they had 5 shapes!  We heart books!
 Picnic in the park with some of our buddies after story hour at the library!
 Waiting for fireworks on July 3rd.  Sadly we never saw any due to the traffic situation but we had fun in the back of the van!

 Hubby bought me this book because I really wanted to change things up in my math class this year.  He's just the BEST!

InstaFriday (on Sunday!)

My sister tells me I need to get with the times.  I'm going to try to do this weekly post when I can remember.  Since this is my first it is going to be a catch up of all of my Instagram photos up until now and then after this point it will just be one week at a time.  I heart Instagram and the awesome pics I can take with it.

My first pic back in March.  We were playing at the park in Genoa.
 Sitting on Nana's counter!

Silly face time!

 Doing what she does best......dressing up and looking fab!
 Daddy's alumni softball tourney.  His team decided to wear cut-off jean shorts and he actually changed into a cut-off flannel shirt for the game.  Sexy!!!!!
 Time for a haircut!

 Two bumps on the head in a very short amount of time always feels better when Daddy snuggles you!
 Fashionista!!!
 Love half-price drink days at Mel-O-Creme!  Hubby brought me a peanut butter shake!
 Wooooooo Hooooooo!  The levy for my district passed thank goodness because I don't want to know what would have happened if it hadn't!
 First movie in a theater: Ice Age: Continental Drift with our bestie, Payne!

 She is such a sweet little sleeper!
 It just never gets old!  Her combinations always crack me up!
