4th of July

We were lucky to have Brynlee spend the night and join us for the annual 4th of July parade. I have been going and riding in this parade since I was a little girl. It's fun to pass the tradition on to my kids. This year the boys decorated their bikes and rode in the parade. They did such a good job on their bikes. We also saw some of my classmates from high school. It was fun to catch up with them and to see their kids. We then enjoyed a yummy lunch at my mom's house. Later that evening we had all of the friends and their kids over and did our spectacular firework display. Equipped with illegal fireworks. Sorry no picture. I can't have documentation. Luckily we didn't get caught. We had a great time eating, talking and having a water fight. Thanks to everyone for an awesome day.

Happy Birthday Savannah!

Today Savannah turned 5. I can’t believe my baby is 5. I was so excited to have a girly party. My oh my was it ever girly. This morning I told her "Happy Birthday" you are officially five. She said no i'm not. I don't turn five until I get the "Happy Birthday" song and I blow out my candles. Who can argue with that? She invited all of her friends from church and her cousin. We asked the girls to wear a princess dress. They did such a great job, they all looked beautiful. And Sam looked handsome as always. We decorated crowns and played “kiss the frog” a spin off of pin the tail on the donkey. Savannah helped me make the cupcakes and decorate for her party. She had such a great time. Thanks beautiful princesses and handsome prince for a fabulous party.

Savannah favorite cereal "Barbie".

Uncle Nick this is for you.

Uncle Nick and Aunt Angela gave the boys these Air Force hats for their birthdays. Uncle Nick joined the Air Force about 8 months ago. The boys think that it is so cool. The hats comes in handy when the boys play airforce pilots. Thanks Nick and Angela for the awesome hats.

Hole in my head

It never seizes to amaze me how klutzy Savannah is. I could swear that she has had more wounds then the boys combine. Tonight is no surprise. For some reason she still gets so involved with playing that she forgets to get to give herself enough time to get to the restroom. You can always tell. She starts dance and tapping her feet really fast and talking to herself. Well this time she made it in time to take care of you know what but in the process she fell against the corner of the counter top. This punctured a hole in her head. She started crying and I went in to see what the problem was and I found blood dripping all over the place. She was really upset. I have to strip her down and put her in the shower. I finally got her cleaned up and settled down.

We got her jammies on and she wanted her Hello Kitty ice pack. She made herself a camp out bed on the floor so she could watch TV. She was so proud of herself that she figured out that she could prop up the pillow and lay on her ice pack. What a character.

OUCH!!

Happy Fathers Day!

Rise and Shine! The kids and I got up early to make Dad breakfast in bed. The kids were so excited. The boys made the scrambled eggs. Savannah made the toast. I supervised. They did a great job. I got the serving tray and a quick photo ops and Dad had an awesome breakfast in bed.

Jim and Rylan celebrated Father’s Day a day early and flew up to Rexburg, ID to see an air show. Randy and Jim said the flight up there was smooth and beautiful. Once there Jim called our friends the Ferguson’s and they joined them for a little while. They were happy to see them. Thanks Libby and Jackson for taking some time. The show had a few scary moments until the guys realized it was part of the show. All in all they had a great time.
We all went to church and had a nice day. The Primary asked all of the Dad’s who had children in primary to come and be with us for a surprise. We enjoyed ice cream and wafer cookies. I teach Savannah’s class and she was so excited to see her Dad in primary. So told him several time that she was glad he came. Jim is so cute with her.

We then had my family come over for a Father’s Day BBQ. We had some yummy food. We miss Angela, Nick and Nate.

I am so thankful for the great men in my life. They are such a good support for me. I also know that they love the kids and me. What more could you ask for.

Happy Father’s Day!

Happy Anniversary!!

This weekend was our anniversary. It was awesome. My parents took the kids to the cabin for the weekend. So we had a wonderful time kid free. Jim got a convertible mustang to cruise around in. Friday we went to dinner with our good friends Randy and Becky. Saturday we went to a movie "What happens in Vegas" we loved the movie. Perfect for a good laugh. Jim then surprised me and took me to La Caille for dinner. It was good, but my favorite part of the meal was the chocolate dipped strawberries with the sparkler candle. He was so sweet to make our anniversary so special. We then just drove around in the mustang. It was so nice to just be with each other. We have had our ups and downs but we can always count on each other for support and love. I am so lucky. I love you very much Jimmy!!
