B's 1st pony tail!

Too Cute B!
Love that hair, but quit eating the crayon!

Baby #3 for Monica and Emily!

Ok so it's like 10:30 at night and the Daddies have just crashed our party with the kids and now they are all feasting on the chocolate fountain! Great going Dads.

The ladies opening their group gifts! -Bumbo seat with trays.

Hey girls! So um since you friends of mine (Cozett, Jodi, and Carly) haven't joined the blogging world on your own and just look at mine! Here's a picture of yourself to look at until you give in and start your own Blog! Hint. Hint.

Lucky to have each other as friends to receive homemade gifts from each other. All so cute! Kinda makes me want a baby again! -Sucks for you Brad! :)

And here's the men after they crashed our baby party. Can you tell they are wet and dripping on my floors too! Yeah after playing ward softball they let themselves into someones pool instead of picking up the kids from the sitters. Nice!

Fun party favors that were bars of soap and just matched so perfect! Sorry, i was really proud of myself for coming up with these and the party decor! Oh the things you get excited about after getting married and two kids later.

Any excuse to get more flowers to plant in my yard.

How cute is that? Oh Baby! You can't really tell in the photo, but the letters stuck inside baby bottles filled with tool. I love the bright fun colored tool. Thanks Emily for introducing me to the world of tool.

My friend Katie made these cute sheets for everyone to vote on the baby names, by marking your vote with a button for each.

Thanks for all my friends who helped to put this fun party on for Emily and Monica. It sure was a fun night! Good luck girls with #3!

Trouble Trouble Trouble

First of all, what is Sydney wearing? Oh well, ya know its only 90 degrees out and Sydney tells me, "Mom I'm so freezing and so i need my snow hat, gloves and boots on when i go outside. And ya know i might want to paint when I'm out there so i need my paint shirt on over my cute outfit"! Oh but then the real trouble came when she decided to color a picture with her "lips" (as she calls her chapsticks) all over my glass door while i was on the phone with her aunt Jessica. So thanks Jessica for distracting me! But, in Sydney's defence she did tell me that she could clean it all by herself and a wonder that girl and a bottle of Windex can do! What a funny girl I have.

Oh yeah and here is trouble beginning with our little B just getting into everything now! We are just in for it bad with this one.

She is just cruising around everything now!

Oh but what a cute face! Love that suit too B!

Father's day weekend fun!

Daddy and his girls going to church.

Syd insisted that Daddy wanted a Prince Charming for Father's day! And Brad sure felt lucky to get one!

The girls set a cute table for Daddy and made him the best french toast he has ever had!

On Saturday we went to this great park and played in the water features. We have serious water babies in our family. They can't get enough of the water fun!

Big girl B!

Sydney's first bike!!

Look at that funny face. She is so excited to finally be big enough to get a bike of her very own. What a lucky girl!

Well hopefully she will get the hang of this sooner than later, becuase it is more work for me than her still!

Lookin' good Syd!

Nana and the girls!

We had such a great time to Mexico again this year and this time with our kids, Nana and Papa Hom, Brian, Jessica, and James Hom. We did all sorts of fun activities like, a snorkeling boat trip, zip line tour, horse back riding on the beach, kayaking in the ocean, lots of good Mexican food, church with the locals, shopping, swimming, playing on the beach, and games at night. This trip did teach us one thing that we love our girls but, leaving them behind is also a really fun idea! It was fun to go back to where my parents took me as a kid with my kids now. Thanks everyone for a fun time in Mexico!
