This past weekend, Tim's girlfriend, Mallorye, graduated from MU, so the whole family came up to visit. They actually all (Jess, Leila, Mom & Dad) stayed at our house, which was really fun, since we had all the baby toys, beds, etc. right there. Friday night we had lasagna and homemade ice cream for dinner. Saturday we headed to graduation, which I was a little worried about (nothing like 2 toddlers at a 2 hour graduation at the Hearnes Center). But, actually, both girls did really well. They slept through the first hour, and then we broke out the animal crackers, gummy smiles, and Smarties, and we made it through!
After graduation, we headed to Tim's house for a bbq celebration for Mallorye. We got to meet her family and friends, and just run around in Tim's backyard... which had chickens in it, which Laney was FASCINATED by! :)
Overall, it was just really fun to get to hang out with the Looten's for the weekend! It's fun to see Leila and Laney together, because they are soooo different! Laney is loud and everywhere, and Leila is so quiet, I can barely hear her when she cries. Although, by the end of the weekend, Leila was doing some random screaming, a la Laney, so apparently she was picking up some bad habits from Laney! :)
And, now for the pictures...
Laney, helping Daddy make the ice cream for dinner on Friday night. It was POURING down rain, and really storming. Laney, of course, loved it, because she loves the rain. And it gave us a good reason to wear the cow boots, since she wears them around the house all the time anyway!
After the Lootens got there, we gave the girls a little snack. Laney was not too excited about sharing. She said she would, but then, with these cheerios, she left them on the table, and didn't keep Leila from eating any. Instead, she just jammed them in her mouth as fast as she could until she looked like a chipmunk. It was pretty funny, but we're obviously going to have to work on sharing!
Hanging out in the high chairs, waiting for dinner!
And, after lasgana, they both needed a bath. They were, however, NOT interested in looking at the camera... so this is the best we could do for a picture!
Headed to graduation... lookin' cooool in the shades!
After graduation, Josh had a flat tire on his car. Laney occupied herself while we aired it up! :)
Walking on campus... just thought she looked like such a big girl... especially with the shades!
Leila playing at Tim's house. She was funny to watch because she's just learning to walk, so she was very unsteady, especially on the uneven grass. It's hard to believe that Laney, who now RUNS everywhere, was like that not too long ago!
Before church on Sunday, Grandma Looten painted Laney's toes to match her's and Leila's! Love the look on Laney's face!
And the video I just had to post... not actually from graduation, but from this past week. I've been working out to the 30 Day Shred video, and Laney wanted to get in on the action... hilarious!

Love that little picnic table! Did someone make that for you all? Its adorable. Laney is looking so big! Her hair is finally getting long with some curls in the back. So precious! I kept thinking I was looking at April's blog, b/c Laney looks similar to Ella in some of those pics :) Precious post. What a big girl!
Those pictures are so cute! I love her in her green and blue polka dots. She's getting to be such a big girl - can't believe how much she's talking in that video!! Thanks for the update :)
Liz- My dad actually made the picnic table for Laney for Christmas this year. We LOVE it!
What a great weekend and great pictures! I really love the cow rain boots outfit. She really loves to play in the rain (just like her Mommy did/does)!!
