Lyn and Nuge's Wedding

My Birthday Girl

I am not sure if words can say much much we love this little girl. She is the funniest, craziest thing ever and we cant get enough of her. This little firecracker is tough at times but we are so grateful for her strong will and are sure it will be put to good use someday.
Happy Birthday Punky- We love you.

Newport Beach

Hiking with the Family

We went up the canyon to a small waterfall for a hike and a picnic lunch while everyone was in town. The kids loved most of all the snake uncle Jord caught, mom not so much. We do love this family and love when we can see them and spend days like this together.

Summer Vacation- Little Sis's Wedding

Birthday Girl

My little baby is growing up! The Boss is two today, she is not a baby anymore she is considered a toddler or little girl. That kind of makes me sad! I believe she will still be called the baby around here.

We have been so blessed to have this little girl in our lives. I cant even begin to tell you the things she brings into our home. But one word sums it up pretty well- HAPPINESS. This baby makes all of us so happy:) She is a very loved (spoiled) girl, we cant keep our hands off of her, sometimes there are even fights over her.

Bossy is in the 10th percentile for weight, and 25th for height, a runt like her sister. But she is very healthy and very smart. She is on a three year old level for speech. She loves to sing the ABC's and Twinkle Twinkle little star. She has all of her animals down and does the best horse sound you have ever heard!
She started potty training herself at 19 months which has been awesome! Mom definitely had to do some work but its been so much easier with a child who wants to do it.

This girl is a dancer. She LOVES dancing and music. She always wants music turned on so she can run around and dance. She loved going to Ry's choir and band concerts so she could bounce and clap to the music.
And yes we are so proud (except dad) because she knows the whole Taylor Swift Fearless C.D. It has to be the cutest thing to hear, her little voice in the backseat "begging you please don't gooooooo".
What a great 2 years! I am so excited for this next year and the many things she will learn and say. We love this cute girl....
Happy Happy Birthday Sis.

Preschool Graduation

Preschool graduations are some of the cutest experiences for a parent. These little 3 and four year olds are so proud of themselves and you as a parent are beaming with pride thinking "my kid is so dang cute". They practice for weeks on the songs and walking across the stage, and scream the songs to see who is loudest, and again look so cute in those funny little hats.
Our Punky was so excited and a bit nervous to perform on the stage. And of course that little shorty always gets front and center so there was no hiding behind anyone. But she did great, she yelled her songs, did all the right dance moves, and walked across for her certificate without falling. We were so proud.
Afterwards we watched a cute slideshow of the kids and parents on field trips and had dinner and cake.

We are so proud of this girl! She has done so well and has made some great friends. She is so excited that she will be going back next year for junior kindergarten, she really loved this school.
