Happy Birthday!!!!!!

Happy 30th birthday to the most wonderful husband and daddy in the whole world!!!!! We love you so much!!

And, I would have to say it was a pretty successful birthday weekend, considering Drew and his partner Ryan took first place at the Verona Hills Invitational this year! Way to go boys! We are so proud of you!

Two Conclusions

I am a very big girl pulling myself up these days.....

She was so proud of herself!

...and there is nothing like a Tupperware drawer to play in!

4th of July Celebrations

We had a fun 4th of July weekend with family. We spent the day on Monday at Doug and Janis' house with the Brinings and Hamiltons. All of the kids had a great time in the pool. It was so fun watching Norah watch everyone else! Then, on Tuesday we headed to my parent's house for a cookout. It was wonderful to see everyone. What a great holiday weekend!

Love this picture....Drew with Lilly and Grace with Audrey!

All the cousins:  Grace, Olivia, Emma, Lilly, Audrey and Norah

Garage Sale Mania

Ashlie and I decided, sort of last minute, to have a garage sale this past Thursday and Friday. We had a pretty successful day on Thursday and it was slow on Friday, so we packed up early! We had a lot left over to donate, but we made a little extra spending money and had fun doing it! Let me tell you, it is exhausting having a garage sale though! Phew! The girls spent the day with Grammy on Thursday and then helped us on Friday morning!  They were great little helpers and attracted quite the attention from our customers! 

Norah and Audrey holdin' down the fort!!!

This is what Lilly did the majority of the time!  She was a pirate digging for treasure.  I think Ashlie came to the conclusion that somebody needs a sandbox! :)

Summer Update

We have been enjoying every bit of summer we can so far. Here are just a few (well, more than a few! :)) of my favorite moments so far!

This is what I look like every time I get done eating my big girl food....all by myself!  My favorite foods lately have been manderin oranges, bananas, peas, yogurt, waffles, pancakes, toast, and chicken!!!!
