Cousin Keri's Wedding

In late June our beautiful cousin Keri got married in the bay area. Maggie was her flower girl and was pulled in a wagon with Liam, the little ring bearer, by our cousin Bailey. Maggie was precise with role as flower girl, only dropping one petal at at time and rotating evenly between the left and right side. Super cute. After the wedding they had a party and Maggie danced the night away. 

We all know Maggie is a lover and can't wait to give (and receive!) hugs and kisses. This night was no exception, as you'll see from a few of the photos in this post. She just can't help herself...

A fun weekend with family and I know everyone had a good time.

Congratulations, Keri and Matt! We love you!

BBQ

The Tulare County Historical Society, an organization that my parents are heavily involved in, held their annual summer BBQ on last Sunday evening. Instead of hosting it on the museum grounds, this year we all went to a member's house for the fundraiser. She lives on a farm in the country with a huge area for tables, horses, musicians, a catering company, a dessert company (who made dutch oven peach cobbler on-site) and over 250 people. Maggie danced a bit, pet a horse, ran around, played with rocks, rode on a vintage toy horse (and subsequently smacked herself in the face with it and lightly busted her lip), met a handsome young cowboy, and looked cute in her little pink dress.

Dancing Queen

Our first night in Hawaii we listened to the band near the pool for awhile. We knew Maggie would love the music and immediately she got her groove on. I wish we had videoed her earlier in the evening because she was dancing so hard the entire crowd watched and laughed and smiled. There were even some onlookers taking photos of her. It was adorable. After each song she put her arms up and looked around making sure everyone clapped (for her) for the band and then took her turn to clap. Chad and I were laughing so hard I was crying. That 45 minutes was a highlight of my life for sure. I wish this video did that evening justice, but it doesn't come close. We had too much fun to think about taping her. I'm putting it up here more to remind me of how awesome that night was.
