Father's Day 2010

It's days like today that I'm reminded of the long road my husband I have traveled to get to the point we're at today. I look at him with our beautiful girls and it's like, "Yes! We're finally there." It's like this is the way God intended it to be. For the first time in my life I'm in a relationship and I know with all my heart and soul that this is IT. This is what I've been searching for. This is FOREVER.

Happy Father's day to the man I love. You've done so much to earn this day. You are a wonderful father, husband, and friend. I love you!

Look who turned ONE!

On Saturday, June 5, I turned ONE year old!
My grandpa came over and gave me the most awesome present EVER. I love my new swing, Grandpa!

My Granny came to visit all the way from Oregon! She kept giving me presents and fussing over me (not that that's anything new).


My cake was so yummy, but I ate it very carefully because I wasn't sure what to think about the fact that my mom and dad were letting me get so messy!It ended up being a pretty good day, even though the grown-ups were taking my picture from the time I woke up until I had a bath in my Grammy's kitchen sink.

A visit to the Aquatic Center in Lake Havasu

On Thursday, June 17, we went to the Aquatic Center in Lake Havasu for some family fun. We were joined by our friends Dana and Skylar and our Aunt Michelle. The kids had so much fun in the wave pool. Lauren loved the little pool that was as warm as her bath water. She kept lying back and just floating there. Amy and Skylar had so much fun going down the giant water slide. They were so brave! I think we'll be back there many times this summer.

Amy's Pre-School Graduation

On Thursday, May 27, Amy had her graduation from Tiny T-Birds. There were 9 kids in her class who are going to Kindergarten this year. It was very cute. They had paper graduation hats and they sang a little song and then threw their hats in the air. I cried, of course. I hate to see the shape I'm in when it's 2023 and I'm attending her High School graduation.

Children's Museum, Las Vegas

On our Monday off of school for Memorial Day, we decided to go the the Lied Children's Museum in Las Vegas. Our first stop was a picnic. It was such a nice day, we could have just hung out at the park all day.

Lauren, Amy, Trishelle, and Kennedy

Amy and Trishelle loved playing with the bubbles, fixing cars, and shopping....But Amy's favorite by far was the hurricane tunnel. She endured winds of up to 75 MPH and went back for more!.

Spaghetti...YUM!

Lauren had her first taste of spaghetti tonight and she LOVED it, just like her momma. The bath afterward was fun too!!!

Our Fun-filled Sunday

It's not easy to find matching dresses for a baby and a 5 year old. I got these at Sam's Club over a month ago, but it's been cold and windy every time we have a chance to dress up. The girls wore them to church today, but were not very good about posing for a picture after a long day of church and then a birthday party at Scooter's.

You can see that Lauren did NOT want to be held still to have her picture taken. After all, she is on the go these days!







Amy wanted to make sure I got a picture of her new Hannah Montana tattoo that she got at her friend Hannah's birthday party today.


And look how happy Lauren is now that her sister isn't trying to trap her. So much happier just rolling around on the floor.

P.S. We love you Granny and can't wait to see you in a couple weeks!!! xoxo
