fun times in franklin so far

i always knew that once i had a little girl that she would get dressed up in my clothes, try on my make up and put on my shoes. i just never imagined it would be at the age of 2! my big girl completely steals my heart my putting on some of my high heels and checking herself out in the mirror. how can i stop time?????

one afternoon it was a little cool so we got to put on her fun tights and head out for a walk around the neighborhood.  i absolutely love her in her gap skirt and tights with her pig tails as well. she is every bit as adorable in real life as she is in this picture!!

one of our other new favorite things to do in franklin is head out to the concert series at the clubhouse on the lawn. we bring our own chairs, blanket, snacks and drinks. presley gets to run around with all of the kids and dance to the music while davis is so happy to be outside and get some fresh air (although he usually falls asleep soon after we arrive:)

we love visitors! aunt rebekah came to stay for a few days with mimi and thank you GOD davis likes her. our front porch swing is one of his favorite places (as well as mine) and he was so happy bekah held him while on the swing.

presley's favorite person: mimi! on the front porch blowing bubbles that even to this day i don't do as well as mimi. or so presley tells me. i can only hope to aspire. anyway, here are mimi and presley catching bubbles on the porch and having a great afternoon together!!

an evening with the covey's

i just realized i haven't uploaded any photos in a while- guess i have been busy meeting new people and going to the pool. here are a few of what happens almost every night at the covey house. bath time!! 

brian almost always spikes up presley's hair. presley almost always puts davis in a head lock in an attempt to help get him clean. her love is so strong it may actually kill him. just kidding. of course, he loves it until he sees the worried look on our faces and then he starts to cry. 

another daily event at our house is our afternoon walk. here is presley looking for the "precious puppy" whose name is pip but she is determined to call him hip.

pip lives at this house on the corner of our walk way behind a beautiful rod iron gate. he has a bed, water bowl and his mom just got him a pool to cool off in the summer heat. pip can hear presley turning the corner of the walkway and his mom says he barks at the back door now to be let out so he can say hi to us. it seems as though everyone and every animal is friendly here:)
