We had a WONDERFUL 4th of July! We hit the pool and then headed to my parents for a cook-out. My dad seriously makes THE BEST hamburgers EVER!! After dinner Stephen, the kids, and I walked to the park by parents house and had fun time playing. The weather got kind of crazy so they cancelled the fireworks for that night. We had a great day though and
I am so PROUD to be an AMERICAN!!

Hmm, Happy #8... My beautiful Hailey turned 8 yrs. old on the 5th. I cannot believe how time flies. She had a great day and loved all the gifts she got. I think my favorite part and the kids was going to eat at Golden Corral, the kids ate every kind of dessert imaginable! She is having a party on Saturday, so I will post more about that later. It was perfect that the fireworks were cancelled the night before, b/c they rescheduled them for the 5th. So, we had fireworks to end the birthday celebration. Hailey loved it!! Hailey is such a blessing to our family and I love her so much!! She will be getting baptized at the end of this month and we are super excited for that.






































Blake is now 2 years old!! It sure is crazy how time flies. We had a great time celebrating his birthday this past Friday. We had pizza for dinner and then went to Skinny Dip for dessert. On Sunday, we had a little party with just the family and it was great! Hot dogs and brats for dinner and a yummy cake for dessert. It was so fun to have the family there. Blake loved his presents and really enjoyed opening them. He was so cute, because when he opened a present and we told him who it was from, he thought he was supposed to give them the gift. He smiled and then would hand the gift back, and then smiled even bigger when we told "no, no they are for you". I love Blake so much, his smile just brightens my day. He is all boy and loves to do everything his older siblings do. I am so blessed he is a part of our family!!!
