Happy 2nd Birthday Ellie Bea!


Ellie had her 2nd birthday yesterday, June 18th! I can't believe how time goes by so fast! She had a nice day..we gave her little surprises throughout the day. Her first one was a fun toy her cousin Molly has, it's a log that you hide three little squirrels in it and she has to get them out. She wasn't sure of it at first, but then got the hang of it. She loves it when the squirrels have their tails hanging out to get them. Then, she got a bouncy Kong bone that I put the special dog peanut butter on it..she licked it clean! She still is licking at it when it doesn't have anything on it any more. Then she got a little bit of vanilla ice cream and a walk around the block when it was cooler outside to end the day! We love her tons! She's so much fun!

Happy Father's Day!

Chris and I had a nice evening with my parents and my brother for Father's Day at their house. My mom cooked a yummy dinner of BBQ steak, potato salad, and cucumbers and tomatoes. I'm very grateful to have my dad and to have had such a nice time with him and my family!

Fun times! Great Memories!


This past weekend Chris and I headed up to Sedona for our friends Jeremy and Katie's wedding. It was a lot of fun. It made me think back to our wedding and all the fun time planning it and how beautiful it turned out. It was a nice garden wedding and their reception was outside as well. It was very romantic. Chris was the best man and he gave a very nice toast. We all had fun dancing and just spending time with our friends.


There is just something about being around your friends and people you get along with that give you a natural high of happiness and just make you want to plan more and more times of getting together with them. It's really fun and it's nice to know that these are friends of ours that will probably be friends for a long time and that is nice to think about and look forward to seeing our friendships grow even more.
