Happy Birthday Luke

We had a really fun pool party last night for Luke! There were a ton of rowdy kiddos, but that's what made it so fun! Luke has great friends and we are grateful for all who helped make him feel so important on his day! Happy Birthday Luke! We love you!

And some more

So Lucky!

I had a perfect Mother's Day! I slept in, woke up to a massage, had breakfast made and cleaned up by my husband. Came home from church and played games with my kids! Josh invited my sis and bro over for dinner, that he cooked, and cleaned up. Then we all had homemade icecream! It was the BEST! I have to admit, that I did feel a little bad that Josh was working non stop and not allowing me to help at all! But, it really was a stress free wonderful day! It was exactly what I wanted and needed! I love my husband and love being a mom! Here's some pics from today!

Easter Fun

We had a lot of fun California! It was too short, but well worth it! I drove out there with the kids Thursday night, and Josh flew in on Friday night. Friday we went to the Observatory in LA and it was so much fun! I totally remember going there in Elementary School on Field Trips. I forgot how absolutely beautiful it is at the top of the hill. My kids were SO excited to see the "HOLLYWOOD" sign too! We got to spend time with my brothers who were down visiting as well! I will post more pictures of the trip when I get them from my bros. Easter was a lot of fun! We had a huge Easter Egg hunt with all the family and the Lowders. Summer loves Jolie, and we love Chris, Nushean, and little William, so it was a great time! I miss ALL my family and wish we could all live close! Thanks Mom & Dad for all of the fun, food, and work that went out, for a wonderful time!

Sleepy Hunter

This is how we found Hunter around 5:00 pm. Totally wiped out, after having cousins and friends over to play! What a hard days work of ALL play!!

I took off his shoes in the pic so you could see the beautiful job he did on painting his own nails. This is while daddy was watching him...or not watching him! :)

Having a little fun in the perfect weather today!!

Sleeping Beauty and ouchies

We had such a busy Saturday! It started out fun as ever! My mother n law bought tickets for all the girlie's to go see Sleeping Beauty at the Hale theater. It was such a cute play, and the girls had so much fun! We went out to lunch at Cafe Rio afterwards for the most delicious lunch! Then hurried home to prepare for a small dinner party of which they were all to be there at 4:30. As Josh and I were busy cleaning, and setting up. Summer had the brilliant idea to climb a tree holding a golf club. We are not clear on the details, but somehow she fell off the tree and the golf club hit her nose. I hear her screaming from the pool, so I ran back to the house. Luke tells me that Summer is hurt REALLY bad, that she is bleeding from her eyes. I run into the bathroom, where Josh is inspecting the damage. He says's ," There is a hole in her face down to the bone". I being the pathetic mom I am, so afraid of blood and guts. Just yell into the bathroom "It's OK Summer, you'll be fine". While she is screaming for her mom to hold her! But, I just couldn't stomache seeing her her until Josh had bandaged her up! Turns out she did have a deep hole, but only needed four stitches. Summer was so brave, she said the stitches didn't even hurt! I hurried home from the ER, to my wonderful and capable husband hosting the party without me. Of course that is with the help of my awesome sister Candis, and sweet neighbor Melanie. Summer has been given lots of TLC from our family. Thanks Stef and Grandma for the get well gifts. We are so grateful to have so many thoughtful people in our life.
